2 Samuel 22:1-7

Easy-to-Read Version

² The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my place of safety.
³     He is my God, the Rock I run to for protection.
He is my shield; by his power I am saved.^[b]
    He is my hiding place, my place of safety, high in the hills.
He is my savior, the one
    who rescues me from the cruel enemy.
⁴ I called to the Lord for help,
    and he saved me from my enemies.
    He is worthy of my praise!

⁵ Waves of death were crashing around me.
    A deadly flood was carrying me away.
⁶ The ropes of the grave wrapped around me.
    Death set its trap right there in front of me.
⁷ In my trouble I called to the Lord.
    Yes, I cried out to my God for help.
There in his temple he heard my voice.
    He heard my cry for help.
