2 Samuel 22:6 In-Context

4 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

5 For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid.

6 The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me;

7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God; And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears.

8 Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth.
