2 Samuel 22:19

Protection and safetyComfort

17 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.

18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.

They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.

20 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

21 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
