New King James Version

2 Samuel 22:3-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. The God of my strength, in whom I will trust;My shield and the horn of my salvation,My stronghold and my refuge;My Savior, You save me from violence.

4. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;So shall I be saved from my enemies.

5. “When the waves of death surrounded me,The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

6. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;The snares of death confronted me.

7. In my distress I called upon the Lord,And cried out to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,And my cry entered His ears.

8. “Then the earth shook and trembled;The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken,Because He was angry.

9. Smoke went up from His nostrils,And devouring fire from His mouth;Coals were kindled by it.

10. He bowed the heavens also, and came downWith darkness under His feet.

11. He rode upon a cherub, and flew;And He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
