Something that King David wrote (sang) as praise to God; taken from 2 Samuel chapter 22. These are a few of the verses. Praise does something to us; we must be designed for praise and thankfulness! No matter what is happening to us; no matter how we feel or think, praise changes things or changes us! If you have the time, the whole chapter continues for 55 verses! You might enjoy continuing the reading:
 

2 Samuel 22:1 - 7 (NIRV)

David Sings Praises to the Lord
 David sang the words of this song to the Lord.
 He sang them when the Lord saved him from the powerful hand of all of his enemies and of Saul.
 
He said,
   "The Lord is my rock and my fort. He is the One who saves me. 
    My God is my rock. I go to him for safety.
      He is like a shield to me. He's the power that saves me.
   He's my place of safety. I go to him for help. He's my Savior.
      He saves me from those who want to hurt me. 
 I call out to the Lord. He is worthy of praise.
      He saves me from my enemies. 
 The waves of death were all around me.
      A destroying flood swept over me. 
 The ropes of the grave were tight around me.
      Death set its trap in front of me. 
 When I was in trouble I called out to the Lord.
      I called out to my God.
   From his temple he heard my voice.
      My cry for help reached his ears.
