2 Samuel 22:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “The waves of death came around me.
    The deadly rivers overwhelmed me.
⁶ The ropes of death wrapped around me.
    The traps of death were before me.
⁷ In my trouble I called to the Lord.
    I cried out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice.
    My call for help reached his ears.
