6
From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt.
7
From the depth of the belly of hell, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from a slanderous tongue:
8
My soul shall praise the Lord even to death.
9
And my life was drawing near to hell beneath.
10
They compassed me on every side, and there was no one that would help me. I looked for the succour of men, and there was none.
11
I remembered thy mercy, O Lord, and thy works, which are from the beginning of the world.
12
How thou deliverest them that wait for thee, O Lord, and savest them out of the hands of the nations.
13
Thou hast exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away.
14
I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my trouble, and in the time of the proud without help.
15
I will praise thy name continually, and will praise it with thanksgiving, and my prayer was heard.
16
And thou hast saved me from destruction, and hast delivered me from the evil time.
