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

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