He pulled me out of a dangerous pit, out of the deadly quicksand. He set me safely on a rock and made me secure.

How great is your constant love for me! You have saved me from the grave itself.

My anger will flame up like fire and burn everything on earth. It will reach to the world below and consume the roots of the mountains.

My enemies have hunted me down and completely defeated me. They have put me in a dark prison, and I am like those who died long ago.

The road of the wicked, however, is dark as night. They fall, but cannot see what they have stumbled over.

He drove me deeper and deeper into darkness

I have come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness.

Remember the angels who did not stay within the limits of their proper authority, but abandoned their own dwelling place: they are bound with eternal chains in the darkness below, where God is keeping them for that great Day on which they will be condemned.

They are like wild waves of the sea, with their shameful deeds showing up like foam. They are like wandering stars, for whom God has reserved a place forever in the deepest darkness.

Don't let the flood come over me; don't let me drown in the depths or sink into the grave.

From the depths of my despair I call to you, LORD.
