2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God,
    my stronghold[a] in whom I take refuge, my shield, the glory[b]
        of my salvation, and my high tower.”

3 I cried out to the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I was delivered from my enemies.

4 The cords of death entangled me;
    the rivers of Belial[c] made me afraid.
