² The Lord is my rock,^(A) my fortress^(B) and my deliverer;^(C)
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,^(D)
    my shield^[a](E) and the horn^[b] of my salvation,^(F) my stronghold.

³ I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,^(G)
    and I have been saved from my enemies.^(H)
4 The cords of death^(I) entangled me;
    the torrents^(J) of destruction overwhelmed me.
⁵ The cords of the grave coiled around me;
    the snares of death^(K) confronted me.

⁶ In my distress^(L) I called to the Lord;^(M)
    I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;^(N)
    my cry came^(O) before him, into his ears.
