They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poetry describes divine intervention through images of earthquake, smoke, fire, darkness, and heavenly descent. These images should not be reduced to a meteorological description; they form poetic theophanic language communicating God’s majesty entering into action. The Lord appears as a sovereign warrior who hears David’s cry and brings him out of deep waters. The king’s deliverance thus becomes a manifestation of divine power.

Ils m'avaient surpris au jour de ma détresse, Mais l'Eternel fut mon appui.
Essi mi erano venuti incontro al giorno della mia calamità; Ma il Signore fu il mio sostegno.
Encontraram-me no dia da minha calamidade; porém o SENHOR se fez o meu amparo.
我遭遇災難的日子,他們來攻擊我; 但耶和華是我的倚靠。
