Words of Comfort

¹ He said: I love you, LORD, my strength. ² The LORD is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer. My God is my rock I take refuge in him! he’s my shield, my salvation’s strength, my place of safety. ³ Because he is praiseworthy, I cried out to the LORD, and I was saved from my enemies. ⁴ Death’s cords were wrapped around me; rivers of wickedness terrified me. ⁵ The cords of the grave surrounded me; death’s traps held me tight. ⁶ In my distress I cried out to the LORD; I called to my God for help. God heard my voice from his temple; I called to him for help, and my call reached his ears.
