2 Samuel Chapter 22Young's Literal Translation2: and he saith: 'Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me, 3: My God [is] my rock -- I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me! 4: The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved. 5: When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me, 6: The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death. 7: In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears, 8: And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath! 9: Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it. 10: And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet. 11: And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind. 12: And He setteth darkness Round about Him -- tabernacles, Darkness of waters -- thick clouds of the skies. 13: From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled! 14: Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice. 15: And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them; 16: And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger. 17: He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters. 18: He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I. 19: They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support, 20: And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me. 21: Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me. 22: For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God. 23: For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them. 24: And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity. 25: And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes. 26: With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect, 27: With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler. 28: And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall. 29: For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness. 30: For by Thee I run -- a troop, By my God I leap a wall. 31: God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him. 32: For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God? 33: God -- my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way; 34: Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand, 35: Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms, 36: And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great. 37: Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden. 38: I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed. 39: And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet. 40: And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me. 41: And mine enemies -- Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me -- and I cut them off. 42: They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them. 43: And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small -- I spread them out! 44: And -- Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me. 45: Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me. 46: Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places. 47: Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God -- The Rock of my salvation. 48: God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me, 49: And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me. 50: Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise. 51: Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!'
