#### Structure and formatting ####
|

Some translations prefer to set apart quotations, poems or songs. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 22:1-51, which is a song or psalm.

##### Metaphor #####
|
||
|
|
David uses many metaphors to express his trust in God's protection: "my rock, my fortress, my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge." He used other metaphors to express his hopelessness: "the waves of death surrounded me," "the rushing waters of worthlessness overwhelmed me," "the cords of sheol surrounded me;" "the snares of death trapped me," and "the surging water." He also used metaphors for the victory God gave him: "I can run over a barricade" and "by my God I can leap over a wall."
