2 Samuel Chapter 22The Darby Bible2: And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3: God is my rock, in him will I trust -- My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge, My saviour: thou wilt save me from violence. 4: I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine enemies. 5: For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid. 6: The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me; 7: In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God; And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears. 8: Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth. 9: There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals burned forth from it. 10: And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet. 11: And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; And he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 12: And he made darkness round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 13: From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire. 14: Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice. 15: And he sent arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; Lightning, and discomfited them. 16: And the beds of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 17: He reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great waters; 18: He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; For they were mightier than I. 19: They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay. 20: And he brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21: Jehovah hath 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 his statutes, I did not depart from them, 24: And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity. 25: And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight. 26: With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright; 27: With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary. 28: And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, [whom] thou bringest down. 29: For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness. 30: For by thee I have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped over a wall. 31: As for God, his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust 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 maketh my way perfectly smooth. 34: He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], And setteth me upon my high places. 35: He teacheth my hands to war, And mine arms bend a bow of brass. 36: And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great. 37: Thou enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip. 38: I pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them, And I turned not again till they were consumed. 39: And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet. 40: And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me. 41: And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed. 42: They looked, and there was none to save -- Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not. 43: And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them. 44: And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me: 45: Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me. 46: Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places. 47: Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God, the rock of my salvation, 48: The God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the peoples under me. 49: He brought me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; From the man of violence hast thou delivered me. 50: Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing psalms to thy name. 51: [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, And sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, To David, and to his seed for evermore.
