I will send up my cry to the Lord,
The cords of death were round me,
and the seas of evil put me in fear.
The cords of hell were round me:
the nets of death came on me.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God,
the dark will be made bright for me.
You have given me the breastplate of your salvation:
For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight:
I will give you praise,
O Lord, and will make
a song of praise to your name.
For who is God but the Lord
