2 Samuel 22:6 In-Context

4 I sing to God the Praise-Lofty, and find myself safe and saved.
5 The waves of death crashed over me, devil waters rushed over me.
6 Hell's ropes cinched me tight; death traps barred every exit.
7 A hostile world! I called to God, to my God I cried out. From his palace he heard me call; my cry brought me right into his presence - a private audience!
8 Earth wobbled and lurched; the very heavens shook like leaves, Quaked like aspen leaves because of his rage.
