2 Samuel 22:5 in Context — 2 Samuel 22

3 Deus de minha rocha, nele confiarei: Meu escudo, e o poder de minha salvação, minha fortaleza, e meu refúgio; Meu salvador, que me livrarás de violência.

4 Invocarei ao SENHOR, digno de ser louvado. E serei salvo de meus inimigos.

5 Quando me cercaram ondas de morte, E ribeiros de iniquidade me assombraram,

6 As cordas do Xeol me rodearam, e laços de morte me tomaram desprevenido.

7 Tive angústia, invoquei ao SENHOR, E clamei a meu Deus: E ele ouviu minha voz desde seu templo; Chegou meu clamor a seus ouvidos.
