2 Samuel 22:5 In-Context

3 God is my Strong One; in him will I trust: he is my shield and the horn of my saving health; my defence and my refuge; my saviour, who shall save me from violence.
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of Belial made me afraid;
6 when the cords of Sheol compassed me about; the snares of death came before me;
7 in my distress I called upon the LORD and cried to my God, who heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.
