01:45he said I love you Lord my source of strength the Lord is my high ridge my stronghold my deliverer
01:54my God is my rocky summit where I take shelter my shield the horn that saves me and my refuge
02:02I called to the Lord who is worthy of praise and I was delivered from my enemies
02:09the waves of death engulfed me the currents of chaos overwhelmed me the ropes of shale tightened
02:18around me the snares of death trapped me in my distress I called to the Lord I cried out to
02:26my God from his heavenly temple he heard my voice he listened to my cry for help the earth heaved
02:36and shook the roots of the mountains
02:38trembled they heaved because he was angry smoke ascended from his nose fire devoured as it came from his mouth
02:48he hurled down fiery coals he made the sky sink as he descended a thick cloud was under his feet
02:57he mounted a winged angel and flew he glided on the wings of the wind he shrouded himself in darkness
03:06in thick rain clouds
03:09from the brightness in front of him came hail and fiery coals the Lord thundered in the sky the most
03:17high shouted he shot his arrows and scattered them many lighting bolts and routed them the depths of the sea
03:27were exposed the inner regions of the world were uncovered by your battle cry Lord by the powerful breath from
03:35your nose
03:37he reached down from above and took hold of me he pulled me from the surging water he rescued me
03:44from my strong
03:45enemy from those who hate me for they were too strong for me they confronted me in my day of
03:53calamity but the Lord helped me he brought me out into a wide open
03:59place he delivered me because he delivered me because he was pleased with me the Lord repaid me for my
04:06godly deeds he rewarded my blameless behavior for I have obeyed the Lord's commands I have not rebelled against my
04:16God for I am aware of all his regulations and I do not reject his rules
