1 David spoke to Adonai the words of this song in the day that Adonai delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 He said: “Adonai is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer.
3 My God is my rock, in Him I take refuge, my shield, my horn of salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my Savior—You save me from violence.
4 I called upon Adonai, worthy of praise, and I was rescued from my enemies.
5 For waves of death encompassed me. Torrents of Belial overwhelmed me.
6 Cords of death entangled me. Snares of death came before me.
7 In my distress I called upon Adonai, yes, I called to my God. From His Temple He heard my voice, my cry came into His ears.
