16
The floor of the ocean was laid bare, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered when the Lord rebuked his enemies and roared at them in anger.
17
The Lord reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me out of the deep waters.
18
He rescued me from my powerful enemies and from all those who hate me - they were too strong for me.
19
When I was in trouble, they attacked me, but the Lord protected me.
20
He helped me out of danger; he saved me because he was pleased with me.
