22 David sang this song to the Lord after he had rescued him from Saul and from all his other enemies:

“Jehovah is my rock,

My fortress and my savior.

I will hide in God,

Who is my rock and my refuge.

He is my shield

And my salvation,

My refuge and high tower.

Thank you, O my Savior,

For saving me from all my enemies.

I will call upon the Lord,

Who is worthy to be praised;

He will save me from all my enemies.

The waves of death surrounded me;

Floods of evil burst upon me;

I was trapped and bound

By hell and death;

But I called upon the Lord in my distress,

And he heard me from his Temple.

My cry reached his ears.

Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations of the heavens quaked

Because of his wrath.

Smoke poured from his nostrils;

Fire leaped from his mouth

And burned up all before him,

Setting fire to the world.[a]
