1. David prayed to God the words of this song after God saved him from all his enemies and from Saul.
2-3. God is bedrock under my feet,the castle in which I live,my rescuing knight.My God—the high cragwhere I run for dear life,hiding behind the boulders,safe in the granite hideout;My mountaintop refuge,he saves me from ruthless men.
4. I sing to God the Praise-Lofty,and find myself safe and saved.
5-6. The waves of death crashed over me,devil waters rushed over me.Hell’s ropes cinched me tight;death traps barred every exit.
