Psalm 18:4-6, 16-19

The ropes of death surrounded me; the floods of destruction swept over me.
The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death itself stared me in the face.
But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears.

He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.
He delivered me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me.
They attacked me at a moment when I was weakest, but the Lord upheld me.
He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.
True stuff.
