God Hears And Responds.

PSALM 18:1-6

I love you, Lord God,
    and you make me strong.
² You are my mighty rock,
    my fortress, my protector,
    the rock where I am safe,
my shield,
    my powerful weapon,
    and my place of shelter.

³ I praise you, Lord!
    I prayed, and you rescued me
    from my enemies.
⁴ Death had wrapped
    its ropes around me,
    and I was almost swallowed
    by its flooding waters.

⁵ Ropes from the world
of the dead
    had coiled around me,
    and death had set a trap
    in my path.
⁶ I was in terrible trouble
    when I called out to you,
but from your temple
you heard me
    and answered my prayer.
