2 Samuel 22:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ “The waves of death were all around me.
    A destroying flood swept over me.
⁶ The ropes of the grave were tight around me.
    Death set its trap in front of me.
⁷ When I was in trouble I called out to the Lord.
    I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice.
    My cry for help reached his ears.
