2 Samuel 22:1-7, 29-30

David sang this song to the LORD when the LORD saved him from Saul and all his other enemies. He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender and my place of safety. The LORD saves me from those who want to harm me. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies. “The waves of death came around me; the deadly rivers overwhelmed me. The ropes of death wrapped around me. The traps of death were before me. 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.

LORD, you give light to my lamp. The LORD brightens the darkness around me. With your help I can attack an army. With God’s help I can jump over a wall.
