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 destruction overwhelmed me;

6 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

7 "In my distress I called upon the LORD , Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.

8 "Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
