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 perdition assailed me;
6 the cords of Sheol entangled me,
   the snares of death confronted me.

7 In my distress I called upon the Lord;
   to my God I called.
From his temple he heard my voice,
   and my cry came to his ears.

17 He reached from on high, he took me,
   he drew me out of mighty waters.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
   from those who hated me;
   for they were too mighty for me.
19 They came upon me in the day of my calamity,
   but the Lord was my stay.
20 He brought me out into a broad place;
   he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
