6. From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt.
7. From the depth of the belly of hell, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from a slanderous tongue:
8. My soul shall praise the Lord even to death.
9. And my life was drawing near to hell beneath.
10. They compassed me on every side, and there was no one that would help me. I looked for the succour of men, and there was none.
11. I remembered thy mercy, O Lord, and thy works, which are from the beginning of the world.
12. How thou deliverest them that wait for thee, O Lord, and savest them out of the hands of the nations.
