1
David spoke the words of this song to the LORD after the LORD delivered him from the power of all his enemies and from Saul.
2
He said: The LORD is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer.
3
My God is my rock— I take refuge in him!— he's my shield and my salvation's strength, my place of safety and my shelter. My savior! Save me from violence!
4
Because he is praiseworthy, I cried out to the LORD, and I was saved from my enemies.
5
Death's waves were all around me; rivers of wickedness terrified me.
