Context of 2 Samuel 22:16
14The Lord thundered from the sky; the sovereign One shouted loudly. 15He shot arrows and scattered them, lightning and routed them. The depths of the sea were exposed; the inner regions of the world were uncovered by the Lord’s battle cry, by the powerful breath from his nose. 17He reached down from above and grabbed me; he pulled me from the surging water. 18He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hate me, for they were too strong for me.
