2The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.
4The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.
5The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.
