1 David sang a song to the Lord after the Lord had rescued him from his enemies, especially Saul. These are the words to David's song:
2 Our Lord and our God,you are my mighty rock,my fortress, my protector.
3 You are the rockwhere I am safe.You are my shield,my powerful weapon,and my place of shelter.You rescue me and keep mefrom being hurt.
4 I praise you, our Lord!I prayed to you,and you rescued mefrom my enemies.
5 Death, like ocean waves,surrounded me,and I was almost swallowedby its flooding waters.
