2 Samuel 22:5 in Context — 2 Samuel 22

3 Dios de mi roca, en él confiaré: mi escudo, y el cuerno de mi salud, mi fortaleza, y mi refugio; mi salvador, que me librarás de violencia.

4 Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser loado, y seré salvo de mis enemigos.

5 Cuando me cercaron ondas de muerte, y arroyos de iniquidad me asombraron,

6 Me rodearon los dolores del infierno, y me tomaron descuidado lazos de muerte.

7 Tuve angustia, invoqué á Jehová, y clamé á mi Dios: y él oyó mi voz desde su templo; [llegó] mi clamor á sus oídos.
