## 2 Samuel 22:4-7 in Context (Verses 1–10 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/1) And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day *that* the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/2) And he said, The LORD *is* my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/3) The God of my rock; in him will I trust: *he is* my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/4) I will call on the LORD, *who is* worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/5) When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;**
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/6) The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry *did enter* into his ears.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/8) Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/9) There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-samuel/22/10) He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness *was* under his feet.
 
[2 Samuel 21](/kjv/2-samuel/21) [2 Samuel 23](/kjv/2-samuel/23)
