1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 and he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
3 The God of my rock, in him will I trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, thou savest me from violence.
4 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 For the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
6 The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came upon me.
