2 Samuel 22:6 in Context — 2 Samuel 22
4 Je m’écrie: Loué soit l’Éternel! Et je suis délivré de mes ennemis.
5 Car les flots de la mort m’avaient environné, Les torrents de la destruction m’avaient épouvanté;
6 Les liens du sépulcre m’avaient entouré, Les filets de la mort m’avaient surpris.
7 Dans ma détresse, j’ai invoqué l’Éternel, J’ai invoqué mon Dieu; De son palais, il a entendu ma voix, Et mon cri est parvenu à ses oreilles.
8 La terre fut ébranlée et trembla, Les fondements des cieux frémirent, Et ils furent ébranlés, parce qu’il était irrité.
