2 Samuel 22:6 in context

2 Samuel 22:3–9

3

God is my rock in whom I take refuge;

my shield, and the horn of my salvation,

my high tower, and my refuge.

My savior, you save me from violence.

4

I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;

So shall I be saved from my enemies.

5

For the waves of death surrounded me.

The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

6
Selected verse

The cords of Sheol were around me.

The snares of death caught me.

7

In my distress, I called on the LORD.

Yes, I called to my God.

He heard my voice out of his temple.

My cry came into his ears.

8

Then the earth shook and trembled.

The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken,

because he was angry.

9

Smoke went up out of his nostrils.

Consuming fire came out of his mouth.

Coals were kindled by it.
