2 Samuel

Chapter 22

1 AND David spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul;

2 And he said: I will love thee, O LORD my strength and my trust; the LORD is my strength and my fortress and my deliverer,

3 The mighty God in whom I trust; he is my succor and the horn of my salvation, my refuge who delivered me from the wicked men, my glorious Saviour.

4 I will call upon the LORD, and I shall be saved from my enemies.

5 For the pangs of death have compassed me, the torrents of ungodly men made me afraid;

6 The pangs of Sheol compassed me about; the snares of death lay ahead of me;

7 In my distress I called upon the LORD and cried to my God; and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the mountains quaked and burst asunder, because he was angry at them.

9 There went up a smoke because of his anger, and fire kindled out of his face; and coals were kindled by it.

10 He bowed the heavens and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; he flew mightily upon the wings of the wind.

12 And he made darkness his pavilion round about him, the dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

13 Out of the brightness of his shelter he made his clouds hail and coals of fire.

14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice, hail and coals of fire.

15 And he sent out his arrows and scattered them; he increased his lightning and discomfited them.

16 Then the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were uncovered, at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thine anger.

17 He sent from above and took me; he drew me out of many waters;

18 He delivered me from my strong enemies and from them that hated me; for they were too strong for me.

19 They fell upon me in the day of my affliction; but the LORD became my succor.

20 He relieved me from my distress; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not rebelled against my God.

23 For all his judgments were before me; and his statutes I have not put away from me.

24 I was blameless before him, and have kept myself from my sin.

25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

26 With the good man thou wilt show thyself good, with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.

27 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt show thyself perverse.

28 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; and the proud ones thou wilt bring down.

29 For thou wilt light my lamp; O LORD my God, lighten my darkness.

30 For by thee I can run against a band of robbers; by the help of my God I have leaped over a wall.

31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; he succors all who trust in him.

32 For there is no God except the LORD. And there is no one who is mighty but our God.

33 The God who has girded me with strength makes my way perfect.

34 He makes my feet like hart's feet, and makes me stand upon my high places.

35 He teaches my hands to war, and strengthens my arms like a bow of brass.

36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has helped me; thy gentleness has made me great.

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, so that my feet did not slip.

38 I will pursue my enemies and will overtake them, and will not turn back until I have consumed them.

39 I will strike them that they may not arise; yea, they shall fall under my feet.

40 Thou hast girded me with strength for the battle; thou hast made them that rise up against me to be subdued under me.

41 Thou hast also made mine enemies to bend their necks to me, that I might silence those that hate me.

42 They shall cry to the LORD, but there shall be none to save them; they shall seek the LORD, but he shall not answer them.

43 I shall beat them as small as the dust which is carried by the wind; I shall tread upon them as the mire of the streets.

44 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people, thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

45 Those who give ear shall hearken to me; the sons of strangers shall be obedient to me.

46 Strangers shall halt and be restrained from their ways.

47 The LORD lives; blessed be he who gives me strength; and exalted be God my Saviour.

48 Thou art the God who has given me vengeance and hast brought down the peoples under me

49 And hast delivered me from my enemies; thou also hast exalted me over those who rose up against me; thou hast delivered me from wicked men.

50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and I will sing praises to thy name.

51 He gives great salvation to his king and shows mercy to his anointed, to David and to his descendants for ever.

Chapter 22

1 And David1732 spoke1696 to the LORD3068 the words1697 of this2063 song7892 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 had delivered5337 him out of the hand3709 of all3605 his enemies,341 and out of the hand3709 of Saul:7586

2 And he said,559 The LORD3068 is my rock,5553 and my fortress,4686 and my deliverer;6403

3 The God430 of my rock;6697 in him will I trust:2620 he is my shield,4043 and the horn7161 of my salvation,3468 my high4869 tower,4869 and my refuge,4498 my savior;3467 you save3467 me from violence.2555

4 I will call7121 on the LORD,3068 who is worthy to be praised:1984 so shall I be saved3467 from my enemies.341

5 When3588 the waves4867 of death4194 compassed661 me, the floods5158 of ungodly1100 men made7760 me afraid;1204

6 The sorrows2256 of hell7585 compassed5437 me about;5437 the snares4170 of death4194 prevented6923 me;

7 In my distress6862 I called7121 on the LORD,3068 and cried7121 to my God:430 and he did hear8085 my voice6963 out of his temple,1964 and my cry7775 did enter into his ears.241

8 Then the earth776 shook1607 and trembled;7493 the foundations4146 of heaven8064 moved7264 and shook,1607 because3588 he was wroth.2734

9 There went5927 up a smoke6227 out of his nostrils,639 and fire784 out of his mouth6310 devoured:398 coals1513 were kindled1197 by it.

10 He bowed5186 the heavens8064 also, and came3381 down;3381 and darkness6205 was under8478 his feet.7272

11 And he rode7392 on a cherub,3742 and did fly:5774 and he was seen7200 on the wings3671 of the wind.7307

12 And he made7896 darkness2822 pavilions5521 round5439 about him, dark2841 waters,4325 and thick clouds5645 of the skies.7834

13 Through the brightness5051 before5048 him were coals1513 of fire784 kindled.1197

14 The LORD3068 thundered7481 from heaven,8064 and the most6944 High5946 uttered5414 his voice.6963

15 And he sent7971 out arrows,2671 and scattered6327 them; lightning,1300 and discomfited2000 them.

16 And the channels650 of the sea3220 appeared,7200 the foundations4146 of the world8398 were discovered,1540 at the rebuking1606 of the LORD,3068 at the blast5397 of the breath7307 of his nostrils.639

17 He sent7971 from above,4791 he took3947 me; he drew4871 me out of many7227 waters;4325

18 He delivered5337 me from my strong5794 enemy,341 and from them that hated8130 me: for they were too strong553 for me.

19 They prevented6923 me in the day3117 of my calamity:343 but the LORD3068 was my stay.4937

20 He brought3318 me forth3318 also into a large4800 place: he delivered2502 me, because3588 he delighted2654 in me.

21 The LORD3068 rewarded1580 me according to my righteousness:6666 according to the cleanness1252 of my hands3027 has he recompensed7725 me.

22 For I have kept8104 the ways1870 of the LORD,3068 and have not wickedly7561 departed from my God.430

23 For all3605 his judgments4941 were before5048 me: and as for his statutes,2708 I did not depart5493 from them.

24 I was also upright8549 before him, and have kept8104 myself from my iniquity.5771

25 Therefore the LORD3068 has recompensed7725 me according to my righteousness;6666 according to my cleanness1252 in his eye5869 sight.5869

26 With the merciful2623 you will show yourself merciful,2616 and with the upright8549 man you will show yourself upright.8552

27 With the pure1305 you will show yourself pure;1305 and with the fraudulent6141 you will show yourself unsavory.6617

28 And the afflicted6041 people5971 you will save:3467 but your eyes5869 are on the haughty,7311 that you may bring8213 them down.3381

29 For you are my lamp,5216 O LORD:3068 and the LORD3068 will lighten5050 my darkness.2822

30 For by you I have run7323 through a troop:1416 by my God430 have I leaped1801 over a wall.7791

31 As for God,410 his way1870 is perfect;8549 the word565 of the LORD3068 is tried:6884 he is a buckler4043 to all3605 them that trust2620 in him.

32 For who4310 is God,410 save1107 the LORD?3068 and who is a rock,6697 save1107 our God?430

33 God410 is my strength4581 and power:2428 and he makes my way1870 perfect.8549

34 He makes7737 my feet7272 like7737 hinds'355 feet:7272 and sets5975 me on my high1116 places.

35 He teaches3925 my hands3027 to war;4421 so that a bow7198 of steel5154 is broken5181 by my arms.2220

36 You have also given5414 me the shield4043 of your salvation:3468 and your gentleness6031 has made me great.7235

37 You have enlarged7337 my steps6806 under8478 me; so that my feet7166 did not slip.4571

38 I have pursued7291 my enemies,341 and destroyed8045 them; and turned7725 not again7725 until5704 I had consumed3615 them.

39 And I have consumed3615 them, and wounded4272 them, that they could not arise:6965 yes, they are fallen5307 under8478 my feet.7272

40 For you have girded247 me with strength2428 to battle:4421 them that rose6965 up against me have you subdued3766 under8478 me.

41 You have also given5414 me the necks6203 of my enemies,341 that I might destroy6789 them that hate8130 me.

42 They looked,8159 but there was none369 to save;3467 even to the LORD,3068 but he answered6030 them not.

43 Then did I beat7833 them as small as the dust6083 of the earth,776 I did stamp1854 them as the mire2916 of the street,2351 and did spread7554 them abroad.7554

44 You also have delivered6403 me from the strivings7379 of my people,5971 you have kept8104 me to be head7218 of the heathen:1471 a people5971 which I knew3045 not shall serve5647 me.

45 Strangers1121 5236 shall submit3584 themselves to me: as soon as they hear,8085 they shall be obedient8085 to me.

46 Strangers1121 5236 shall fade5034 away, and they shall be afraid2296 out of their close4526 places.

47 The LORD3068 lives;2416 and blessed1288 be my rock;6697 and exalted7311 be the God430 of the rock6697 of my salvation.3468

48 It is God410 that avenges5414 5360 me, and that brings3381 down8213 the people5971 under8478 me.

49 And that brings3318 me forth4161 from my enemies:341 you also have lifted7311 me up on high7311 above them that rose6965 up against me: you have delivered5337 me from the violent2555 man.376

50 Therefore5921 3651 I will give thanks3034 to you, O LORD,3068 among the heathen,1471 and I will sing2167 praises to your name.8034

51 He is the tower1431 of salvation3444 for his king:4428 and shows6213 mercy2617 to his anointed,4899 to David,1732 and to his seed2233 for ever more.5769

1 AND David spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul;

1 And David1732 spoke1696 to the LORD3068 the words1697 of this2063 song7892 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 had delivered5337 him out of the hand3709 of all3605 his enemies,341 and out of the hand3709 of Saul:7586

2 And he said: I will love thee, O LORD my strength and my trust; the LORD is my strength and my fortress and my deliverer,

2 And he said,559 The LORD3068 is my rock,5553 and my fortress,4686 and my deliverer;6403

3 The mighty God in whom I trust; he is my succor and the horn of my salvation, my refuge who delivered me from the wicked men, my glorious Saviour.

3 The God430 of my rock;6697 in him will I trust:2620 he is my shield,4043 and the horn7161 of my salvation,3468 my high4869 tower,4869 and my refuge,4498 my savior;3467 you save3467 me from violence.2555

4 I will call upon the LORD, and I shall be saved from my enemies.

4 I will call7121 on the LORD,3068 who is worthy to be praised:1984 so shall I be saved3467 from my enemies.341

5 For the pangs of death have compassed me, the torrents of ungodly men made me afraid;

5 When3588 the waves4867 of death4194 compassed661 me, the floods5158 of ungodly1100 men made7760 me afraid;1204

6 The pangs of Sheol compassed me about; the snares of death lay ahead of me;

6 The sorrows2256 of hell7585 compassed5437 me about;5437 the snares4170 of death4194 prevented6923 me;

7 In my distress I called upon the LORD and cried to my God; and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

7 In my distress6862 I called7121 on the LORD,3068 and cried7121 to my God:430 and he did hear8085 my voice6963 out of his temple,1964 and my cry7775 did enter into his ears.241

8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the mountains quaked and burst asunder, because he was angry at them.

8 Then the earth776 shook1607 and trembled;7493 the foundations4146 of heaven8064 moved7264 and shook,1607 because3588 he was wroth.2734

9 There went up a smoke because of his anger, and fire kindled out of his face; and coals were kindled by it.

9 There went5927 up a smoke6227 out of his nostrils,639 and fire784 out of his mouth6310 devoured:398 coals1513 were kindled1197 by it.

10 He bowed the heavens and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

10 He bowed5186 the heavens8064 also, and came3381 down;3381 and darkness6205 was under8478 his feet.7272

11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; he flew mightily upon the wings of the wind.

11 And he rode7392 on a cherub,3742 and did fly:5774 and he was seen7200 on the wings3671 of the wind.7307

12 And he made darkness his pavilion round about him, the dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12 And he made7896 darkness2822 pavilions5521 round5439 about him, dark2841 waters,4325 and thick clouds5645 of the skies.7834

13 Out of the brightness of his shelter he made his clouds hail and coals of fire.

13 Through the brightness5051 before5048 him were coals1513 of fire784 kindled.1197

14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice, hail and coals of fire.

14 The LORD3068 thundered7481 from heaven,8064 and the most6944 High5946 uttered5414 his voice.6963

15 And he sent out his arrows and scattered them; he increased his lightning and discomfited them.

15 And he sent7971 out arrows,2671 and scattered6327 them; lightning,1300 and discomfited2000 them.

16 Then the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were uncovered, at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thine anger.

16 And the channels650 of the sea3220 appeared,7200 the foundations4146 of the world8398 were discovered,1540 at the rebuking1606 of the LORD,3068 at the blast5397 of the breath7307 of his nostrils.639

17 He sent from above and took me; he drew me out of many waters;

17 He sent7971 from above,4791 he took3947 me; he drew4871 me out of many7227 waters;4325

18 He delivered me from my strong enemies and from them that hated me; for they were too strong for me.

18 He delivered5337 me from my strong5794 enemy,341 and from them that hated8130 me: for they were too strong553 for me.

19 They fell upon me in the day of my affliction; but the LORD became my succor.

19 They prevented6923 me in the day3117 of my calamity:343 but the LORD3068 was my stay.4937

20 He relieved me from my distress; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20 He brought3318 me forth3318 also into a large4800 place: he delivered2502 me, because3588 he delighted2654 in me.

21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

21 The LORD3068 rewarded1580 me according to my righteousness:6666 according to the cleanness1252 of my hands3027 has he recompensed7725 me.

22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not rebelled against my God.

22 For I have kept8104 the ways1870 of the LORD,3068 and have not wickedly7561 departed from my God.430

23 For all his judgments were before me; and his statutes I have not put away from me.

23 For all3605 his judgments4941 were before5048 me: and as for his statutes,2708 I did not depart5493 from them.

24 I was blameless before him, and have kept myself from my sin.

24 I was also upright8549 before him, and have kept8104 myself from my iniquity.5771

25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

25 Therefore the LORD3068 has recompensed7725 me according to my righteousness;6666 according to my cleanness1252 in his eye5869 sight.5869

26 With the good man thou wilt show thyself good, with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.

26 With the merciful2623 you will show yourself merciful,2616 and with the upright8549 man you will show yourself upright.8552

27 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt show thyself perverse.

27 With the pure1305 you will show yourself pure;1305 and with the fraudulent6141 you will show yourself unsavory.6617

28 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; and the proud ones thou wilt bring down.

28 And the afflicted6041 people5971 you will save:3467 but your eyes5869 are on the haughty,7311 that you may bring8213 them down.3381

29 For thou wilt light my lamp; O LORD my God, lighten my darkness.

29 For you are my lamp,5216 O LORD:3068 and the LORD3068 will lighten5050 my darkness.2822

30 For by thee I can run against a band of robbers; by the help of my God I have leaped over a wall.

30 For by you I have run7323 through a troop:1416 by my God430 have I leaped1801 over a wall.7791

31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; he succors all who trust in him.

31 As for God,410 his way1870 is perfect;8549 the word565 of the LORD3068 is tried:6884 he is a buckler4043 to all3605 them that trust2620 in him.

32 For there is no God except the LORD. And there is no one who is mighty but our God.

32 For who4310 is God,410 save1107 the LORD?3068 and who is a rock,6697 save1107 our God?430

33 The God who has girded me with strength makes my way perfect.

33 God410 is my strength4581 and power:2428 and he makes my way1870 perfect.8549

34 He makes my feet like hart's feet, and makes me stand upon my high places.

34 He makes7737 my feet7272 like7737 hinds'355 feet:7272 and sets5975 me on my high1116 places.

35 He teaches my hands to war, and strengthens my arms like a bow of brass.

35 He teaches3925 my hands3027 to war;4421 so that a bow7198 of steel5154 is broken5181 by my arms.2220

36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has helped me; thy gentleness has made me great.

36 You have also given5414 me the shield4043 of your salvation:3468 and your gentleness6031 has made me great.7235

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, so that my feet did not slip.

37 You have enlarged7337 my steps6806 under8478 me; so that my feet7166 did not slip.4571

38 I will pursue my enemies and will overtake them, and will not turn back until I have consumed them.

38 I have pursued7291 my enemies,341 and destroyed8045 them; and turned7725 not again7725 until5704 I had consumed3615 them.

39 I will strike them that they may not arise; yea, they shall fall under my feet.

39 And I have consumed3615 them, and wounded4272 them, that they could not arise:6965 yes, they are fallen5307 under8478 my feet.7272

40 Thou hast girded me with strength for the battle; thou hast made them that rise up against me to be subdued under me.

40 For you have girded247 me with strength2428 to battle:4421 them that rose6965 up against me have you subdued3766 under8478 me.

41 Thou hast also made mine enemies to bend their necks to me, that I might silence those that hate me.

41 You have also given5414 me the necks6203 of my enemies,341 that I might destroy6789 them that hate8130 me.

42 They shall cry to the LORD, but there shall be none to save them; they shall seek the LORD, but he shall not answer them.

42 They looked,8159 but there was none369 to save;3467 even to the LORD,3068 but he answered6030 them not.

43 I shall beat them as small as the dust which is carried by the wind; I shall tread upon them as the mire of the streets.

43 Then did I beat7833 them as small as the dust6083 of the earth,776 I did stamp1854 them as the mire2916 of the street,2351 and did spread7554 them abroad.7554

44 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people, thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44 You also have delivered6403 me from the strivings7379 of my people,5971 you have kept8104 me to be head7218 of the heathen:1471 a people5971 which I knew3045 not shall serve5647 me.

45 Those who give ear shall hearken to me; the sons of strangers shall be obedient to me.

45 Strangers1121 5236 shall submit3584 themselves to me: as soon as they hear,8085 they shall be obedient8085 to me.

46 Strangers shall halt and be restrained from their ways.

46 Strangers1121 5236 shall fade5034 away, and they shall be afraid2296 out of their close4526 places.

47 The LORD lives; blessed be he who gives me strength; and exalted be God my Saviour.

47 The LORD3068 lives;2416 and blessed1288 be my rock;6697 and exalted7311 be the God430 of the rock6697 of my salvation.3468

48 Thou art the God who has given me vengeance and hast brought down the peoples under me

48 It is God410 that avenges5414 5360 me, and that brings3381 down8213 the people5971 under8478 me.

49 And hast delivered me from my enemies; thou also hast exalted me over those who rose up against me; thou hast delivered me from wicked men.

49 And that brings3318 me forth4161 from my enemies:341 you also have lifted7311 me up on high7311 above them that rose6965 up against me: you have delivered5337 me from the violent2555 man.376

50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and I will sing praises to thy name.

50 Therefore5921 3651 I will give thanks3034 to you, O LORD,3068 among the heathen,1471 and I will sing2167 praises to your name.8034

51 He gives great salvation to his king and shows mercy to his anointed, to David and to his descendants for ever.

51 He is the tower1431 of salvation3444 for his king:4428 and shows6213 mercy2617 to his anointed,4899 to David,1732 and to his seed2233 for ever more.5769
