2 Samuel 22:3
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
This is part of a song David composed while Saul was pursuing him to take his life. It arose out of the severe trials and dangers he faced while fleeing from Saul. The song voices David's unwavering trust in God.
It portrays God as David's dependable protector and rescuer, his rock, shield, stronghold, refuge, and source of salvation. He is praised as protector and deliverer from danger and violence. The song gives praise and glory to God as his merciful preserver, crediting Him with saving him from violence.
