3 My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.

4 I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.

6 The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.
