2 Samuel 22:49

SalvationProtection and safety

47 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—

48 the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,

who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.

50 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.

51 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
