A Prayer to Protect You from the Wrath of God
[1] I love you, Lord, my strength.
[2] The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
[3] I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
[4] The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
[5] The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
[6] In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
[7] The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
[8] Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
[9] He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
[10] He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
[11] He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
[12] Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
[13] The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
[14] He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
[15] The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
[16] He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
[17] He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
[18] They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
