David’s Song of Praise to the Lord

22 [a] David sang this song to the Lord when the Lord saved him from Saul and all his other enemies.

The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my place of safety.
    He is my God, the Rock I run to for protection.
He is my shield; by his power I am saved.[b]
    He is my hiding place, my place of safety, high in the hills.
He is my savior, the one
    who rescues me from the cruel enemy.
