2 Samuel 22:17 in Context — 2 Samuel 22

15 Arrojó saetas, y desbaratólos; relampagueó, y consumiólos.

16 Entonces aparecieron los manantiales de la mar, y los fundamentos del mundo fueron descubiertos, á la reprensión de Jehová, al resoplido del aliento de su nariz.

17 Extendió [su mano] de lo alto, y arrebatóme, y sacóme de copiosas aguas.

18 Libróme de fuertes enemigos, de aquellos que me aborrecían, los cuales eran más fuertes que yo.

19 Asaltáronme en el día de mi calamidad; mas Jehová fué mi sostén.
