1 David spoke the words of this song to the Lord after the Lord delivered him from the power of all his enemies and from Saul.
2 He said:The Lord is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer.
3 My God is my rock—I take refuge in him!—he’s my shield and my salvation’s strength,my place of safety and my shelter.My savior! Save me from violence!
4 Because he is praiseworthy,I cried out to the Lord, and I was saved from my enemies.
5 Death’s waves were all around me;rivers of wickedness terrified me.
