2 Samuel 22:5-7

New Living Translation

⁵ “The waves of death overwhelmed me;
    floods of destruction swept over me.
⁶ The grave^[a] wrapped its ropes around me;
    death laid a trap in my path.
⁷ But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;
    yes, I cried to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
    my cry reached his ears.
