2 Samuel 22
22:1

And David1732 spake1696 unto Yahweh3068 the words1697 of this song7892 in the day3117 that Yahweh3068 had delivered5337 him out of the hand3709 of all his enemies,341 and out of the hand3709 of Saul:7586

22:2

And he said,559 Yahweh3068 is my rock,5553 and my fortress,4686 and my deliverer;6403

22:3

The Elohim430 of my rock;6697 in him will I trust:2620 he is my shield,4043 and the horn7161 of my salvation,3468 my high tower,4869 and my refuge,4498 my saviour;3467 thou savest3467 me from violence.2555

22:4

I will call7121 on Yahweh,3068 who is worthy to be praised:1984 so shall I be saved3467 from mine enemies.341

22:5

When the waves4867 of death4194 compassed661 me, the floods5158 of evil men1100 made me afraid;1204

22:6

The sorrows2256 of the grave7585 compassed me about;5437 the snares4170 of death4194 prevented6923 me;

22:7

In my distress6862 I called7121 upon Yahweh,3068 and cried7121 to my Elohim:430 and he did hear8085 my voice6963 out of his temple,1964 and my cry7775 did enter into his ears.241

22:8

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

22:9

There went up5927 a smoke6227 out of his nostrils,639 and fire784 out of his mouth6310 devoured:398 coals1513 were kindled1197 by it.

22:10

He bowed5186 the heavens8064 also, and came down;3381 and darkness6205 was under his feet.7272

22:11

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

22:12

And he made7896 darkness2822 pavilions5521 round about5439 him, dark2841 waters,4325 and thick clouds5645 of the skies.7834

22:13

Through the brightness5051 before him were coals1513 of fire784 kindled.1197

22:14

Yahweh3068 thundered7481 from heaven,8064 and the most High5945 uttered5414 his voice.6963

22:15

And he sent out7971 arrows,2671 and scattered6327 them; lightning,1300 and discomfited2000 them.

22:16

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

22:17

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

22:18

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

22:19

They prevented6923 me in the day3117 of my calamity:343 but Yahweh3068 was my stay.4937

22:20

He brought me forth3318 also into a large place:4800 he delivered2502 me, because he delighted2654 in me.

22:21

Yahweh3068 rewarded1580 me according to my righteousness:6666 according to the cleanness1252 of my hands3027 hath he recompensed7725 me.

22:22

For I have kept8104 the ways1870 of Yahweh,3068 and have not wickedly departed7561 from my Elohim.430

22:23

For all his judgments4941 were before me: and as for his statutes,2708 I did not depart5493 from them.

22:24

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

22:25

Therefore Yahweh3068 hath recompensed7725 me according to my righteousness;6666 according to my cleanness1252 in5048 his eye sight.5869

22:26

With the merciful2623 thou wilt shew thyself merciful,2616 and with the upright8549 man1368 thou wilt shew thyself upright.8552

22:27

With the pure1305 thou wilt shew thyself pure;1305 and with the froward6141 thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.6617

22:28

And the afflicted6041 people5971 thou wilt save:3467 but thine eyes5869 are upon the haughty,7311 that thou mayest bring them down.8213

22:29

For thou art my lamp,5216 O Yahweh:3068 and Yahweh3068 will lighten5050 my darkness.2822

22:30

For by thee I have run7323 through a troop:1416 by my Elohim430 have I leaped1801 over a wall.7791

22:31

As for El,410 his way1870 is perfect;8549 the word565 of Yahweh3068 is tried:6884 he is a buckler4043 to all them that trust2620 in him.

22:32

For who is El,410 save1107 Yahweh?3068 and who is a rock,6697 save1107 our Elohim?430

22:33

El410 is my strength4581 and power:2428 and he maketh5425 my way1870 perfect.8549

22:34

He maketh my feet7272 like7737 hinds'355 feet: and setteth5975 me upon my high places.1116

22:35

He teacheth3925 my hands3027 to war;4421 so that a bow7198 of steel5154 is broken5181 by mine arms.2220

22:36

Thou hast also given5414 me the shield4043 of thy salvation:3468 and thy gentleness6031 hath made me great.7235

22:37

Thou hast enlarged7337 my steps6806 under me; so that my feet7166 did not slip.4571

22:38

I have pursued7291 mine enemies,341 and destroyed8045 them; and turned not again7725 until I had consumed3615 them.

22:39

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

22:40

For thou hast girded247 me with strength2428 to battle:4421 them that rose up6965 against me hast thou subdued3766 under me.

22:41

Thou hast also given5414 me the necks6203 of mine enemies,341 that I might destroy6789 them that hate8130 me.

22:42

They looked,8159 but there was none to save;3467 even unto Yahweh,3068 but he answered6030 them not.

22:43

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 spread them abroad.7554

22:44

Thou also hast delivered6403 me from the strivings7379 of my people,5971 thou hast kept8104 me to be head7218 of the heathen:1471 a people5971 which I knew3045 not shall serve5647 me.

22:45

Strangers1121 shall submit3584 themselves unto me: as soon as they hear,8085 they shall be obedient8085 unto me.

22:46

Strangers1121 shall fade away,5034 and they shall be afraid2296 out of their close places.4526

22:47

Yahweh3068 liveth;2416 and blessed1288 be my rock;6697 and exalted7311 be the Elohim430 of the rock6697 of my salvation.3468

22:48

It is El410 that avengeth5414 me, and that bringeth down3381 the people5971 under me,

22:49

And that bringeth me forth3318 from mine enemies:341 thou also hast lifted me up on high7311 above them that rose up6965 against me: thou hast delivered5337 me from the violent2555 man.376

22:50

Therefore I will give thanks3034 unto thee, O Yahweh,3068 among the heathen,1471 and I will sing praises2167 unto thy name.8034

22:51

He is the tower4024 of salvation3444 for his king:4428 and sheweth6213 mercy2617 to his anointed,4899 unto David,1732 and to his seed2233 for5704 evermore.5769
