The Crisis and the Cry for Help

2 Samuel 22:5-7

"For death's breakers were closing over me, the floods of B'liya'al terrified me,

the ropes of Sh'ol were wrapped around me, the snares of death lay there before me.

In my distress I called to ADONAI; yes, I called to my God. Out of his temple he heard my voice, and my cry entered his ears.
