2 Samuel 22 — Context

David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

and he said, "Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

God, my rock, in him I will take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.

For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
