2 Samuel 22:5 - Barnes' Book Notes

2 Samuel 22:5

3 The God of my strength, ^ain whom I will trust;
My ^bshield and the ^chorn of my salvation,
My ^dstronghold and my ^erefuge;
My Savior, You save me from violence.

4 I 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 ungodliness¹ made me afraid.

6 The ^asorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.

7 In my distress ^aI called upon the Lord,
And cried out to my God;
He ^bheard my voice from His temple,
And my cry entered His ears.
