2 Samuel 22:6 In-Context

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.

6 The cords of the grave surrounded me; death's traps held me tight.

7 In my distress I cried out to the LORD; I cried out to my God. God heard my voice from his temple; my cry for help reached his ears.

8 The earth rocked and shook; the sky's foundations trembled and reeled because of God's anger.
