2 Samuel, Chapter 22

¹ And David spoke the words of this song to the LORD in the day that the LORD delivered him from the^ahand of all his enemies and from the^bhand of Saul. ² He said,
“The LORD is my^crock and my fortress and my deliverer;
³ ^dMy God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge;
My savior, You save me from violence.
⁴ “I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.
⁵ “For the waves of death encompassed me;
The torrents of^edestruction^foverwhelmed me;
⁶ The cords of^gSheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
⁷ “In my distress I called upon the LORD,
Yes, I^hcried to my God;
And from His temple He heard my voice,
And my cry for help came into His ears.
⁸ “Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of heaven were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.
⁹ “Smoke went upⁱout of His nostrils,
Fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.
¹⁰ “He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With thick darkness under His feet.
¹¹ “And He rode on a cherub and flew;
And He^jappeared on the wings of the wind.
¹² “And He made darkness^kcanopies around Him,
A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky.
¹³ “From the brightness before Him
Coals of fire were kindled.
¹⁴ “The LORD thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice.
¹⁵ “And He sent out arrows, and scattered them,
Lightning, and^lrouted them.
¹⁶ “Then the channels of the sea appeared,
The foundations of the world were^mlaid bare
By the rebuke of the LORD,
At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
¹⁷ “He sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
¹⁸ “He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.
¹⁹ “They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the LORD was my support.
²⁰ “He also brought me forth into a broad place;
He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
²¹ “The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
²² “For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
And have not acted wickedly against my God.
²³ “For all His ordinances were before me,
And as for His statutes, I did not depart fromⁿthem.
²⁴ “I was also^oblameless toward Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
²⁵ “Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to my cleanness before His eyes.
²⁶ “With the^pkind You show Yourself^qkind,
With the^rblameless You show Yourself^sblameless;
²⁷ With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the perverted You show Yourself^tastute.
²⁸ “And You save an afflicted people;
But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You abase.
²⁹ “For You are my lamp, O LORD;
And the LORD illumines my darkness.
³⁰ “For by You I can^urun upon a troop;
By my God I can leap over a wall.
³¹ “As for God, His way is^vblameless;
The word of the LORD is tested;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
³² “For who is God, besides the LORD?
And who is a rock, besides our God?
³³ “God is my strong fortress;
And He^wsets the^xblameless in^yHis way.
³⁴ “He makes^zmy feet like hinds’ feet,
And sets me on my high places.
³⁵ “He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁶ “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your^aahelp makes me great.
³⁷ “You enlarge my steps under me,
And my^abfeet have not slipped.
³⁸ “I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
³⁹ “And I have devoured them and shattered them, so that they did not rise;
And they fell under my feet.
⁴⁰ “For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have^acsubdued under me those who rose up against me.
⁴¹ “You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I^addestroyed those who hated me.
⁴² “They looked, but there was none to save;
Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.
⁴³ “Then I pulverized them as the dust of the earth;
I crushed and stamped them as the mire of the streets.
⁴⁴ “You have also delivered me from the contentions of my people;
You have kept me as head of the nations;
A people whom I have not known serve me.
⁴⁵ “Foreigners pretend obedience to me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.
⁴⁶ “Foreigners^aelose heart,
And^afcome trembling out of their^agfortresses.
⁴⁷ “The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock;
And exalted be^ahGod, the rock of my salvation,
⁴⁸ The God who executes vengeance for me,
And brings down peoples under me,
⁴⁹ Who also brings me out from my enemies;
You even lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.
⁵⁰ “Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations,
And I will sing praises to Your name.
⁵¹ “He is a tower of^aideliverance to His king,
And shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
To David and his^ajdescendants forever.”
