2
The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress.
3
My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. He is my savior; he protects me and saves me from violence.
4
I call to the Lord, and he saves me from my enemies. Praise the Lord!
5
The waves of death were all around me; the waves of destruction rolled over me.
6
The danger of death was around me, and the grave set its trap for me.
