2Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, the one who brings me to safety; he is my God, my rock; I take refuge in him. He is my shield, the horn of my salvation, and my stronghold.
3I will call on Yahweh who is worthy to be praised, and I will be saved from my enemies.
4The cords of death surrounded me, and the rushing waters of worthlessness overwhelmed me.
5The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death trapped me.
