2 Samuel 22:17 In-Context

15 God shot his arrows - pandemonium! He hurled his lightnings - a rout!
16 The secret sources of ocean were exposed, the hidden depths of earth lay uncovered The moment God roared in protest, let loose his hurricane anger.
17 But me he caught - reached all the way from sky to sea; he pulled me out
18 Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos, the void in which I was drowning.
19 They hit me when I was down, but God stuck by me.
