2 Samuel 22:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Death’s waves were all around me;
    rivers of wickedness terrified me.
⁶ The cords of the grave^[a] surrounded me;
    death’s traps held me tight.
⁷ In my distress I cried out to the Lord;
    I cried out to my God.
God heard my voice from his temple;
    my cry for help reached his ears.
