2 Samuel 22

1And DavidH1732 spake unto the LORDH3068 the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 him outH3605 of the handH3709 of allH3605 his enemiesH341, and outH3605 of the handH3709 of SaulH7586: 2and he saidH559, The LORDH3068 is my rockH5553, and my fortress, and my delivererH6403, even mine; 3The GodH430 of my rockH6697, in him will I trust; my shieldH4043 and the hornH7161 of my salvationH3468, my high tower, and my refugeH2620; my saviour, thou savest meH3467 from violenceH2555. 4I will callH7121 uponH7121 the LORDH3068, who is worthy to be praisedH1984: soH7121 shall I be savedH3467 from mine enemiesH341. 5For the wavesH4867 of deathH4194 compassed meH661, the floods of ungodlinessH1100 made meH661 afraid. 6The cordsH2256 of SheolH7585 were roundH5437 aboutH5437 meH5437: the snaresH4170 of deathH4194 came upon meH5437. 7In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 uponH7121 the LORDH3068, yea, I calledH7121 unto my GodH430: and he heardH8085 my voiceH6963 outH413 of his templeH1964, and my cryH7121 cameH413 intoH413 his earsH241. 8Then the earthH776 shookH7493 and trembledH7264, the foundationsH4146 of heavenH8064 movedH7264 and were shakenH1607, becauseH3588 he was wroth. 9There wentH5927 upH5927 a smokeH6227 outH4480 of his nostrilsH639, and fireH784 outH4480 of his mouthH6310 devouredH398: coalsH1513 were kindled by it. 10He bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 also, and cameH3381 downH3381; and thickH6205 darknessH6205 was underH8478 his feetH7272. 11And he rodeH7392 uponH5921 a cherubH3742, and did flyH5774: yea, he was seenH7200 uponH5921 the wingsH3671 of the windH7307. 12And he madeH7896 darknessH2822 pavilions roundH5439 aboutH5439 him, gathering of watersH4325, thickH5645 cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834. 13At the brightnessH5051 beforeH5048 him coalsH1513 of fireH784 were kindled. 14The LORDH3068 thunderedH7481 from heavenH8064, and the MostH4480 High utteredH5414 his voiceH6963. 15And he sentH7971 outH7971 arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327 them; lightningH1300, and discomfited them. 16Then the channelsH650 of the seaH3220 appearedH7200, the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were laidH1540 bareH1540, by the rebukeH1606 of the LORDH3068, at the blastH7307 of the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639. 17He sentH7971 from on highH4791, he tookH3947 meH7971; he drewH4871 meH7971 outH7971 of manyH7227 watersH4325; 18He deliveredH5337 meH8130 from my strongH5794 enemyH341, from them that hatedH8130 meH8130; for they were tooH4480 mightyH5794 for meH8130. 19They cameH1961 uponH1961 meH1961 in the dayH3117 of my calamityH343: but the LORDH3068 was my stay. 20He broughtH3318 meH3318 forthH3318 also intoH3318 a largeH4800 placeH4800: he delivered meH3318, becauseH3588 he delighted in meH3318. 21The LORDH3068 rewardedH1580 meH7725 accordingH3027 to my righteousnessH6666: accordingH3027 to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 meH7725. 22For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068, and have notH3808 wickedlyH7561 departedH7561 from my GodH430. 23For allH3605 his judgmentsH4941 were beforeH5048 meH4480: and as for his statutesH2708, I didH3808 notH3808 departH5493 from them. 24I was also perfectH8549 toward him, and I keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771. 25Therefore hath the LORDH3068 recompensedH7725 meH7725 according to my righteousnessH6666; according to my cleannessH1252 in his eyesightH5869. 26With the mercifulH2623 thou wilt shew thyself mercifulH2623, with the perfectH8549 manH1368 thou wilt shew thyself perfectH8549; 27With the pureH1305 thou wilt shew thyself pureH1305; and with the perverseH6141 thou wilt shew thyself froward. 28And the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971 thou wilt saveH3467: but thine eyesH5869 are uponH5921 the haughtyH7311, that thou mayest bringH8213 them downH8213. 29For thou art my lampH5216, O LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 will lighten my darknessH2822. 30For by thee I runH7323 upon a troopH1416: by my GodH430 do I leapH1801 over a wallH7791. 31As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549: the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 is triedH6884; he is a shieldH4043 unto allH3605 them that trust in him. 32For who is GodH430, save the LORDH3068? and who is a rockH6697, save our GodH430? 33GodH410 is my strongH2428 fortressH4581: and he guideth the perfectH8549 in his wayH1870. 34He maketh his feetH7272 like hinds’H355 feetH7272: and setteth meH5921 uponH5921 my highH1116 placesH1116. 35He teacheth my handsH3027 to warH4421; soH3027 that mine armsH2220 doH3027 bendH5181 a bowH7198 of brass. 36Thou hast also givenH5414 meH5414 the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468: and thy gentleness hath madeH5414 meH5414 great. 37Thou hast enlargedH7337 my stepsH6806 underH8478 meH3808, and my feetH7166 have notH3808 slippedH4571. 38I have pursuedH7291 mine enemiesH341, and destroyedH8045 them; neitherH3808 didH3808 I turnH7725 againH7725 tillH5704 they were consumedH3615. 39And I have consumedH398 them, and smitten them throughH4272, that they cannotH3808 ariseH6965; yea, they are fallenH5307 underH8478 my feetH7272. 40For thou hast girdedH247 meH3766 with strengthH2428 unto the battleH4421: thou hast subduedH3766 underH8478 meH3766 those that roseH6965 upH6965 againstH4421 meH3766. 41Thou hast also madeH5414 mine enemiesH341 turnH5414 their backsH6203 unto meH5414, that I might cutH6789 offH5414 them that hateH8130 meH5414. 42They lookedH8159, but there was noneH369 to saveH3467; evenH3808 unto the LORDH3068, but he answeredH6030 them notH3808. 43Then did I beatH7833 them small as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, I did stampH7554 them as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351, and did spreadH7554 them abroadH2351. 44Thou also hast deliveredH6403 meH8104 from the strivings of my peopleH5971; thou hast keptH8104 meH8104 to be the headH7218 of the nationsH1471: a peopleH5971 whom I have notH3808 knownH3045 shall serveH5647 meH8104. 45The strangers shall submitH3584 themselvesH8085 unto meH1121: as soon as they hearH8085 of meH1121, they shall obeyH8085 meH1121. 46The strangers shall fade awayH5034, and shall comeH2296 tremblingH2296 out of their close places. 47The LORDH3068 liveth; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; and exaltedH7311 be the GodH430 of the rockH6697 of my salvationH3468: 48Even the GodH410 that executeth vengeanceH5360 for meH5414, and bringeth downH3381 peoplesH5971 underH8478 meH5414, 49And that bringeth meH7311 forthH3318 from mine enemiesH341: yea, thou liftest meH7311 upH6965 above them that riseH6965 upH6965 againstH376 meH7311: thou deliverest meH7311 from the violentH2555 manH376. 50Therefore I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the nationsH1471, and will singH2167 praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034. 51Great deliveranceH3444 giveth he to his kingH4428: and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointedH4899, to DavidH1732 and to his seedH2233, for evermore.
