2 Samuel 22:3-8
Amplified Bible
3
[a]My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge,
My Savior—You save me from violence.(A)
4
“I call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.
5
“For the waves of death encompassed me;
The torrents of [b]destruction overwhelmed and terrified me.
6
“The cords of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
7
“In my distress I called upon the Lord;
I cried out to my God,
And from His temple [in the heavens] He heard my voice;
My cry for help came into His ears.
8
“Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of the heavens trembled
And were shaken, because He was angry.
