2 Samuel 22

1And DavidH1732 spokeH1696 to Jehovah the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the dayH3117 that Jehovah had deliveredH5337 him out of the handH3709 of all his enemiesH341, and out of the handH3709 of SaulH7586. 2And he saidH559, Jehovah is my rockH5553, and my fortress, and my delivererH6403; 31GodH430 is my rockH6697, in him will I trust — My shieldH4043, and the hornH7161 of my salvationH3468, My high tower, and my refugeH2620, My saviour: thou wilt saveH3467 me from violenceH2555. 4I will callH7121 upon Jehovah, who is to be praisedH1984; So shall I be savedH3467 from mine enemiesH341. 5For the waves of deathH4194 encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid. 6The bands of SheolH7585 surroundedH5437 me; The cordsH2256 of deathH4194 encountered me; 7In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon Jehovah, And I cried to my 2GodH430; And he heardH8085 my voiceH6963 out of his templeH1964, And my cry [came] into his earsH241. 8Then the earthH776 shookH7493, and quakedH7493; The foundationsH4146 of the heavensH8064 trembledH7264 And shookH7493 because he was wroth. 9There wentH5927 up a smokeH6227 out of his nostrilsH639, And fireH784 out of his mouthH6310 devouredH398: CoalsH1513 burnedH1197 forth from it. 10And he bowed the heavensH8064, and cameH3381 downH3381; And darknessH6205 was under his feetH7272. 11And he rodeH7392 upon a cherubH3742, and did flyH5774; And he was seenH7200 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307. 12And he madeH7896 darknessH2822 roundH5439 about him a tent, Gatherings of watersH4325, thick cloudsH5645 of the skies. 13From the brightnessH5051 before him BurnedH1197 forth coalsH1513 of fireH784. 14Jehovah thunderedH7481 from the heavensH8064, And the Most High uttered his voiceH6963. 15And he sentH7971 arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327 [mine enemies]; LightningH1300, and discomfited them. 16And the beds of the seaH3220 were seenH7200, The foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were uncoveredH1540 At the rebukeH1606 of Jehovah, At the blast of the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639. 17He reached forthH7971 from above, he tookH3947 me, He drew me out of greatH7227 watersH4325; 18He deliveredH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH341, From them that hatedH8130 me; For they were mightier than I. 19They encountered me in the dayH3117 of my calamityH343; But Jehovah wasH1961 my stay. 20And he broughtH3318 me forthH3318 into a large placeH4800; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousnessH6666, According to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensed me. 22For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of Jehovah, And have not wickedlyH7561 departed from my 3GodH430. 23For all his ordinancesH4941 were before me, And his statutesH2708, I did not departH5493 from them, 24And I wasH1961 upright before him, And keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771. 25And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousnessH6666, According to my cleannessH1252 in his sight. 26With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright manH1368 thou dost shew thyself upright; 27With the pureH1305 thou dost shew thyself pureH1305; And with the perverseH6141 thou dost shew thyself contrary. 28And the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971 thou dost saveH3467; And thine eyesH5869 are upon the haughtyH7311, [whom] thou bringest down. 29For thou art my lampH5216, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darknessH2822. 30For by thee I have runH7323 through a troopH1416; By my 4GodH430 have I leaped over a wallH7791. 31As for 5GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549; The wordH565 of Jehovah is tried: He is a shieldH4043 to all that trust in him. 32For who is 6GodH430, save Jehovah? And who is a rockH6697, save our 7GodH430? 338GodH410 is my strong fortress, And he maketh my wayH1870 perfectly smooth. 34He maketh my feetH7272 like hinds' [feetH7272], And setteth me upon my highH1116 placesH1116. 35He teacheth my handsH3027 to warH4421, And mine armsH2220 bend a bowH7198 of brass. 36And thou didst giveH5414 me the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468, And thy condescending gentleness hath madeH5414 me great. 37Thou enlargedst my stepsH6806 under me; And mine ankles did not slipH4571. 38I pursuedH7291 mine enemiesH341, and destroyedH8045 them, And I turnedH7725 not again till they were consumed. 39And I have consumedH398 them and have crushed them, and they roseH6965 not again; Yea, they fellH5307 under my feetH7272. 40And thou girdedst me with strengthH2428 to battleH4421: Thou didst subdue under me those that roseH6965 up against me. 41And mine enemiesH341 didst thou makeH5414 to turn their backsH6203 unto me, And those that hatedH8130 me I destroyedH6789. 42They lookedH8159, and there was none to saveH3467 — Unto Jehovah, and he answeredH6030 them not. 43And I did beatH7833 them small as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, I trod them as the mire of the streetsH2351; I stamped upon them. 44And thou hast deliveredH6403 me from the strivings of my peopleH5971, Thou hast keptH8104 me to be headH7218 of the nationsH1471: A peopleH5971 I knewH3045 not doth serveH5647 me: 45Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the earH241, they obey me. 46Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places. 47Jehovah liveth; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; And exaltedH7311 be the 9GodH430, the rockH6697 of my salvationH3468, 48The 10GodH410 who hath avenged me, And hath broughtH3381 the peoplesH5971 under me. 49He broughtH3318 me forthH3318 from mine enemiesH341: Yea, thou hast liftedH7311 me up above them that roseH6965 up against me; From the manH376 of violenceH2555 hast thou deliveredH5337 me. 50ThereforeH3651 will I giveH3034 thanksH3034 to thee, Jehovah, among the nationsH1471, And will singH2167 psalms to thy nameH8034. 51[It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his kingH4428, And sheweth loving-kindness to his anointedH4899, To DavidH1732, and to his seedH2233 for evermore.
