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, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence.
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 overwhelmed me;
6 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
7 "In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.
8 "Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
