Psalms 18:16-18

¹⁶It was as though he reached down from heaven and grabbed me and pulled me up out of the deep ocean.

¹⁷He rescued me from my strong enemies who hated me; they were very strong, with the result that I could not defeat them.

¹⁸When I ◄was distressed/had troubles►, they attacked me, but Yahweh defended/protected me.
