Daily Word of God - 2 Samuel 22:5-7

2 Samuel 22:5-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

5 “The waves of death overwhelmed me;
    floods of destruction swept over me.
6 The grave[a] wrapped its ropes around me;
    death laid a trap in my path.
7 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;
    yes, I cried to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
    my cry reached his ears.
