“The Lord is my rock,^(A) my fortress^(B) and my deliverer;^(C)
3     my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,^(D)
    my shield^[a](E) and the horn^[b](F) of my salvation.
He is my stronghold,^(G) my refuge and my savior—
    from violent people you save me.

⁴ “I called to the Lord, who is worthy^(H) of praise,
    and have been saved from my enemies.
⁵ The waves^(I) of death swirled about me;
    the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
⁶ The cords of the grave^(J) coiled around me;
    the snares of death confronted me.

⁷ “In my distress^(K) I called^(L) to the Lord;
    I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
    my cry came to his ears.
