2 Samuel 22:5 In-Context

3 My God - the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout; My mountaintop refuge, he saves me from ruthless men.

4 I sing to God the Praise-Lofty, and find myself safe and saved.

5 The waves of death crashed over me, devil waters rushed over me.

6 Hell's ropes cinched me tight; death traps barred every exit.

7 A hostile world! I called to God, to my God I cried out. From his palace he heard me call; my cry brought me right into his presence - a private audience!
