2 Samuel 22:3-5
Contemporary English Version

3 You are the rock
    where I am safe.
You are my shield,
my powerful weapon,[a]
    and my place of shelter.

You rescue me and keep me
    safe from violence.
4 I praise you, our Lord!
    I prayed to you,
and you rescued me
    from my enemies.
5 Death, like ocean waves,
    surrounded me,
and I was almost swallowed
    by its flooding waters.
