2 Samuel Chapter 22World English Bible2: and he said, Yahweh is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine; 3: God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My savior, you save me from violence. 4: I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies. 5: For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid: 6: The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came on me. 7: In my distress I called on Yahweh; Yes, I called to my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, My cry [came] into his ears. 8: Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked Were shaken, because he was angry. 9: There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, Fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it. 10: He bowed the heavens also, and came down; Thick darkness was under his feet. 11: He rode on a cherub, and did fly; Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind. 12: He made darkness pavilions round about him, Gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 13: At the brightness before him Coals of fire were kindled. 14: Yahweh thundered from heaven, The Most High uttered his voice. 15: He sent out arrows, and scattered them; Lightning, and confused them. 16: Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Yahweh, 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 mighty for me. 19: They came on me in the day of my calamity; But Yahweh was my stay. 20: He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21: Yahweh 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 Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my God. 23: For all his ordinances were before me; As for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 24: I was also perfect toward him; I kept myself from my iniquity. 25: Therefore has Yahweh recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight. 26: With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect; 27: With the pure you will show yourself pure; With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd. 28: The afflicted people you will save; But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down. 29: For you are my lamp, Yahweh; Yahweh will lighten my darkness. 30: For by you I run on a troop; By my God do I leap over a wall. 31: As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Yahweh is tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. 32: For who is God, save Yahweh? Who is a rock, save our God? 33: God is my strong fortress; He guides the perfect in his way. 34: He makes his feet like hinds' [feet], Sets me on my high places. 35: He teaches my hands to war, So that my arms do bend a bow of brass. 36: You have also given me the shield of your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great. 37: You have enlarged my steps under me; My feet have not slipped. 38: I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again until they were consumed. 39: I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can't arise: Yes, they are fallen under my feet. 40: For you have girded me with strength to the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. 41: You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, That I might cut off those who hate me. 42: They looked, but there was none to save; Even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them. 43: Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad. 44: You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me. 45: The foreigners shall submit themselves to me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me. 46: The foreigners shall fade away, Shall come trembling out of their close places. 47: Yahweh lives; Blessed be my rock; Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation, 48: Even the God who executes vengeance for me, Who brings down peoples under me, 49: Who brings me forth from my enemies: Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me; You deliver me from the violent man. 50: Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, Will sing praises to your name. 51: Great deliverance gives he to his king, Shows lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, forevermore.
