2. And he said: The Lord is my rock, and my strength, and my saviour.
3. God is my strong one, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn of my salvation: he lifteth me up, and is my refuge: my saviour, thou wilt deliver me from iniquity.
4. I will call on the Lord who is worthy to be praised: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
5. For the pangs of death have sur rounded me: the floods of Belial have made me afraid.
6. The cords of hell compassed me: the snares of death prevented me.
7. In my distress I will call upon the Lord, and I will cry to my God: and he will hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come to his ears.
