4 The LORD should be praised. I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies.

5 The waves of death had surrounded me. The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me.

6 The ropes of the grave had surrounded me. The clutches of death had confronted me.

7 I called on the LORD in my distress. I called to my God for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help reached his ears.
