2 Samuel 22:1-7

English Standard Version

David's Song of Deliverance

22 And David spoke ^(A)to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. ²^(B)He said,

^(C)“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
³    ^(D)my^[a] God, my rock, ^(E)in whom I take refuge,
^(F)my shield, and ^(G)the horn of my salvation,
    ^(H)my stronghold and ^(I)my refuge,
    my savior; you save me from violence.
⁴I call upon the Lord, who is ^(J)worthy to be praised,
    and I am saved from my enemies.

⁵^(K)“For the waves of death encompassed me,
the torrents of destruction assailed me;^[b]
⁶^(L)the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

⁷^(M)“In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I called.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry ^(N)came to his ears.
