2 Samuel 22:1 In-Context
1 When the Lord saved David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang this song to the Lord:
2 The Lord is my protector; he is my strong fortress.
3 My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. He is my savior; he protects me and saves me from violence.
4 I call to the Lord, and he saves me from my enemies. Praise the Lord!
5 The waves of death were all around me; the waves of destruction rolled over me.
