| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He said: The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3my God, my mountain where I seek refuge. My shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of destruction terrified me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I called to the LORD in my distress; I called to my God. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they shook because He burned with anger. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; coals were set ablaze by it. |

| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18He rescued me from my powerful enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19They confronted me in the day of my distress, but the LORD was my support. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20He brought me out to a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; He repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands. |
