2 Samuel 22:18 In-Context
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.
20 He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved - surprised to be loved!
