2 Samuel Chapter 22American Standard2: and he said, Jehovah 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 saviour, thou savest me from violence. 4: I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine 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 upon me. 7: In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears. 8: Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth. 9: There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it. 10: He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet. 11: And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 12: And 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: Jehovah thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice. 15: And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; Lightning, and discomfited them. 16: Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Jehovah, 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 them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me. 19: They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay. 20: He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21: Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 22: For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God. 23: For all his ordinances were before me; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 24: I was also perfect toward him; And I kept myself from mine iniquity. 25: Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight. 26: With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect; 27: With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward. 28: And the afflicted people thou wilt save; But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 29: For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah; And Jehovah will lighten my darkness. 30: For by thee I run upon a troop; By my God do I leap over a wall. 31: As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him. 32: For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God? 33: God is my strong fortress; And he guideth the perfect in his way. 34: He maketh his feet like hinds' [feet], And setteth me upon my high places. 35: He teacheth my hands to war, So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass. 36: Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great. 37: Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; And my feet have not slipped. 38: I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 39: And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise: Yea, they are fallen under my feet. 40: For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 41: Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me. 42: They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not. 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: Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; Thou hast 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 unto me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me. 46: The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places. 47: Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation, 48: Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And that bringeth down peoples under me, 49: And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man. 50: Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name. 51: Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
