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

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

my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

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

and I am saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death encompassed me,

the torrents of perdition assailed me;

5 the cords of Sheol entangled me,

the snares of death confronted me.
