“In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.”

2 Samuel 22:7

Save as image

Study note

Chapter 22 is a long song of thanks David sang after the Lord rescued him from Saul and all his enemies; it appears again nearly word for word as Psalm 18. The song opens with images of death closing in like waves and cords.
