Context of 2 Samuel 22:3
1Then David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day when the Lord had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2And he said: “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence. 4I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies. 5“When the waves of death surrounded me, The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
