2 Samuel - ch 22 v 1 - 20
- And David made a song to the Lord in these words, on the day when the Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul:
- And he said, The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour, even mine;
- My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.
- I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.
- For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear;
- The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.
- In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears.
- Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.
- There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.
- The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.
- And he went through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.
- And he made the dark his tent round him, a mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
- Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire.
- The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out.
- And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.
- Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord's wrath, because of the breath of his mouth.
- He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.
- He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.
- They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support.
- He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.
