2. The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my place of safety.
3. He is my God, the Rock I run to for protection. He is my shield; by his power I am saved. He is my hiding place, my place of safety, high in the hills. He is my savior, the one who rescues me from the cruel enemy.
4. I called to the Lord for help, and he saved me from my enemies. He is worthy of my praise!
5. Waves of death were crashing around me. A deadly flood was carrying me away.
6. The ropes of the grave wrapped around me. Death set its trap right there in front of me.
7. In my trouble I called to the Lord. Yes, I cried out to my God for help. There in his temple he heard my voice. He heard my cry for help.
