3The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; My God is my helper, I will hope in him; He is my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
4I will call upon the Lord with praises, And I shall be saved from mine enemies.
— Psalms 17:5 —
6The pangs of hell came round about me: The snares of death prevented me.
7And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God: He heard my voice out of his holy temple, And my cry shall enter before him, even into his ears.
