4. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,and I was delivered from my enemies.
5. The waves of death engulfed me;the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
6. The ropes of Sheol tightened around me;the snares of death trapped me.
7. In my distress I called to the Lord;I called to my God.From his heavenly temple he heard my voice;he listened to my cry for help.
8. The earth heaved and shook;the foundations of the sky trembled.They heaved because he was angry.
