2 Samuel 22:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ Death was near enough to catch me!
    Danger was like a river that wanted to drown me.
⁶ Death was tying me up with ropes,
    to pull me into the deep hole of the grave.
⁷ In my trouble I prayed to the Lord.
    I called to my God to help me.
He heard my voice from his home in heaven.
My prayer reached his ears.
