18:16 He reached down 1 from above and took hold of me;
he pulled me from the surging water. 2
18:17 He rescued me from my strong enemy, 3
from those who hate me,
for they were too strong for me.
18:18 They confronted 4 me in my day of calamity,
but the Lord helped me. 5
18:19 He brought me out into a wide open place;
he delivered me because he was pleased with me. 6
