2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strong rock, in him will I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4The cords of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came on me.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
