2 Samuel 22:3

 

The verse you referenced, 2 Samuel 22:3 in the King James Version, reads:

"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 verse is part of a poem attributed to King David, where he expresses his gratitude and dependence on God for his deliverance from enemies and troubles. In this specific verse, David uses metaphorical language to describe God as:

• Rock: A symbol of strength and stability, providing a foundation for David's faith.
• Shield: Protection from harm, shielding David from his enemies.
• Horn of salvation: A symbol of strength and victory, representing God's power to save David.
• High tower: A safe and secure place, offering refuge from danger.
• Refuge: A place of shelter and protection from storms.
• Savior: The one who rescues David from trouble and danger.

Overall, the verse emphasizes David's complete trust and reliance on God for his protection and deliverance.

Would you like me to provide any further context or interpretation of this verse? Perhaps you have some questions about its meaning or application? I'm happy to help in any way I can.
