1. They said, "We see it as a devious, scheming plan,
So undo it, else you'll be hostage to its ropes."

2. I said, "Why would I fear when my armor suffices,
From God, whatever the foe throws with its arrows?"

3. So how often has a tight spot constricted me,
Yet God stayed by me until I slipped through it.

4. And how often has an ordeal reached out to get me,
Yet He distanced what was between me and its reaching.
