Context
David Sings to the Lord
22:1 David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord rescued him from the power of all his enemies , including Saul .
22:2 He said : “The Lord is my high ridge , my stronghold , my deliverer .
22:3 My God is my rocky summit where I take shelter , my shield , the horn that saves me, my stronghold , my refuge , my savior . You save me from violence !
22:4 I called to the Lord , who is worthy of praise , and I was delivered from my enemies .
22:5 The waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
22:6 The ropes of Sheol tightened around me; the snares of death trapped me.
22:7 In my distress I called to the Lord ; I called to my God . From his heavenly temple he heard my voice ; he listened to my cry for help .
22:8 The earth heaved and shook ; the foundations of the sky trembled . They heaved because he was angry .
