Psalms 17:2-6

²I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

³The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; he is my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.

⁴I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.

⁵The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.

⁶The pangs of hell came round about me: the snares of death prevented me.
