3. I will hope in him. God is my strong one, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. He lifts me up, and he is my refreshment. You, O my Savior, will free me from iniquity.
4. I will call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy; and I will be saved from my enemies.
5. For the pangs of death have encircled me. The torrents of Belial have terrified me.
6. The ropes of Hell have encompassed me. The snares of death have intercepted me.
7. In my tribulation, I will call upon the Lord, and I will cry out to my God. And he will heed my voice from his temple, and my outcry will reach his ears.
8. The earth was shaken, and it quaked. The foundations of the mountains were struck together and violently shaken, because he was angry with them.
9. Smoke ascends from his nostrils, and fire from his mouth will devour; coals have been kindled by it.
