Context of 2 Samuel 22:3
1David wrote this song when the Lord saved him from the power of his enemies when Saul was king. 2This is what he sang: ‘The Lord keeps me safe. He is my great rock and my strong place. My God is my high rock. I run to him to hide and be safe. He keeps me safe like a soldier's shield. He is the strong place where I can hide safely. God, you have saved me from men who want to attack me. 4I praise the Lord because he deserves it! When I called to him for help, he saved me from my enemies. 5Death was near enough to catch me! Danger was like a river that wanted to drown me.
