“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield and the horn of my salvation.

He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—

from violent people you save me.

4 “I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,

and have been saved from my enemies.

5 The waves of death swirled about me;

the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

6 The cords of the grave coiled around me;

the snares of death confronted me.

7 “In my distress I called to the Lord;

I called out to my God.

From his temple he heard my voice;

my cry came to his ears.

2 He said,

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

3 my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield, and the horn of my salvation,

4 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

and I am saved from my enemies.

5 “For the waves of death encompassed me,

the torrents of destruction assailed me;

6 the cords of Sheol entangled me;

the snares of death confronted me.

7 “In my distress I called upon the Lord;

to my God I called.

From his temple he heard my voice,

and my cry came to his ears.

2 And he said,

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust:

He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,

My saviour; thou savest me from violence.

4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

5 When the waves of death compassed me,

The floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about;

The snares of death prevented me;

7 In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried to my God:

And he did hear my voice out of his temple,

And my cry did enter into his ears.

2 He sang:

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;

3 my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.

He is my shield, the power that saves me,

and my place of safety.

He is my refuge, my savior,

the one who saves me from violence.

4 I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,

and he saved me from my enemies.

5 “The waves of death overwhelmed me;

floods of destruction swept over me.

6 The grave wrapped its ropes around me;

death laid a trap in my path.

7 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;

yes, I cried to my God for help.

He heard me from his sanctuary;

my cry reached his ears.

2 He said:

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my Savior.

3 My God is my rock.

I can run to him for safety.

my defender and my place of safety.

The Lord saves me from those who want to harm me.

4 I will call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,

and I will be saved from my enemies.

5 “The waves of death came around me;

the deadly rivers overwhelmed me.

6 The ropes of death wrapped around me.

The traps of death were before me.

7 In my trouble I called to the Lord;

I cried out to my God.

From his temple he heard my voice;

my call for help reached his ears.

2 and he said,

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

3 God, my rock, in him will I take refuge;

My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge;

My saviour, thou savest me from violence.

4 I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

5 For the waves of death compassed me;

The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:

6 The cords of Sheol were round about me;

The snares of death came upon me.

7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah;

Yea, I called unto my God:

And he heard my voice out of his temple,

And my cry came into his ears.

2 And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3 God is my rock, in him will I trust—My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge, My saviour: thou wilt save me from violence. 4 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine enemies. 5 For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid. 6 The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me; 7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God; And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry came into his ears.

2 He said, 

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior, 

3 my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, 

the strength of my salvation, my stronghold, 

my refuge, and my Savior who saved me from violence. 

4 The Lord should be praised. 

I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies. 

5 The waves of death had surrounded me. 

The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me. 

6 The ropes of the grave had surrounded me. 

The clutches of death had confronted me. 

7 I called on the Lord in my distress. 

I called to my God for help. 

He heard my voice from his temple, 

and my cry for help reached his ears. 

2 He said:
