4
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
5
For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of perdition assailed me;
6
the cords of Sheol entangled me, the snares of death confronted me.
7
In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears.
8
Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry.
