2 Samuel 22:1 David1732 spoke1696 to Yahweh3068 the words1697 of this song7892 in the day3117 that Yahweh3068 delivered5337 him out of the hand3709 of all his enemies,341 and out of the hand3709 of Saul:75862 and he said,559 "Yahweh3068 is my rock,5553 my fortress,4686 and my deliverer,6403 even mine;
3 God,430 my rock,6697 in him I will take refuge;2620 my shield,4043 and the horn7161 of my salvation,3468 my high tower,4869 and my refuge.4498 My savior,3467 you save3467 me from violence.25554 I will call7121 on Yahweh,3068 who is worthy to be praised:1984 So shall I be saved3467 from my enemies.3415 For the waves4867 of death4194 surrounded661 me. The floods5158 of ungodliness1100 made me afraid.12046 The cords2256 of Sheol7585{Sheol is the place of the dead.} were around5437 me. The snares4170 of death4194 caught6923 me.
7 In my distress6862 I called7121 on Yahweh.3068 Yes, I called7121 to my God.430 He heard8085 my voice6963 out of his temple.1964 My cry7775 came into his ears.2418 Then the earth776 shook1607 and trembled.7493 The foundations4146 of heaven8064 quaked7264 and were shaken,1607 because he was angry.27349 Smoke6227 went up5927 out of his nostrils.639 Fire784 out of his mouth6310 devoured.398 Coals1513 were kindled1197 by it.
10 He bowed5186 the heavens8064 also, and came down.3381 Thick darkness6205 was under his feet.727211 He rode7392 on a cherub,3742 and flew.5774 Yes, he was seen7200 on the wings3671 of the wind.730712 He made7896 darkness2822 pavilions5521 around5439 himself: gathering2841 of waters,4325 and thick clouds5645 of the skies.783413 At the brightness5051 before him, coals1513 of fire784 were kindled.119714 Yahweh3068 thundered7481 from heaven.8064 The Most High5945 uttered5414 his voice.696315 He sent out7971 arrows,2671 and scattered6327 them; lightning,1300 and confused2000 them.
16 Then the channels650 of the sea3220 appeared.7200 The foundations4146 of the world8398 were laid bare1540 by the rebuke1606 of Yahweh,3068 At the blast5397 of the breath7307 of his nostrils.63917 He sent7971 from on high4791 and he took3947 me. He drew4871 me out of many7227 waters.432518 He delivered5337 me from my strong5794 enemy,341 from those who hated8130 me, for they were too mighty553 for me.
19 They came on6923 me in the day3117 of my calamity,343 but Yahweh3068 was my support.493720 He also brought me out3318 into a large place.4800 He delivered2502 me, because he delighted2654 in me.
21 Yahweh3068 rewarded1580 me according to my righteousness.6666 He rewarded7725 me according to the cleanness1252 of my hands.302722 For I have kept8104 the ways1870 of Yahweh,3068 and have not wickedly departed7561 from my God.43023 For all his ordinances4941 were before me. As for his statutes,2708 I did not depart5493 from them.
24 I was also perfect8549 toward him. I kept8104 myself from my iniquity.577125 Therefore Yahweh3068 has rewarded7725 me according to my righteousness,6666 According to my cleanness1252 in his eyesight.504826 With the merciful2623 you will show yourself merciful.2616 With the perfect8549 man1368 you will show yourself perfect.854927 With the pure1305 you will show yourself pure.1305 With the crooked6141 you will show yourself shrewd.661728 You will save3467 the afflicted6041 people,5971 But your eyes5869 are on the haughty,7311 that you may bring them down.821329 For you are my lamp,5216 Yahweh.3068 Yahweh3068 will light5050 up my darkness.282230 For by you, I run7323 against a troop.1416 By my God,430 I leap over1801 a wall.779131 As for God,410 his way1870 is perfect.8549 The word565 of Yahweh3068 is tested.6884 He is a shield4043 to all those who take refuge2620 in him.
32 For who is God,410 besides1107 Yahweh?3068 Who is a rock,6697 besides1107 our God?43033 God410 is my strong4581 fortress.2428 He makes5425 my way1870 perfect.854934 He makes7737 his feet7272 like7737 hinds'355 feet, and sets5975 me on my high places.111635 He teaches3925 my hands3027 to war,4421 so that my arms2220 bend5181 a bow7198 of brass.515436 You have also given5414 me the shield4043 of your salvation.3468 Your gentleness6031 has made me great.723537 You have enlarged7337 my steps6806 under me. My feet7166 have not slipped.457138 I have pursued7291 my enemies341 and destroyed8045 them. I didn't turn again7725 until they were consumed.361539 I have consumed3615 them, and struck4272 them through, so that they can't arise.6965 Yes, they have fallen5307 under my feet.727240 For you have armed247 me with strength2428 for the battle.4421 You have subdued3766 under me those who rose up6965 against me.
41 You have also made5414 my enemies341 turn their backs6203 to me, that I might cut off6789 those who hate8130 me.
42 They looked,8159 but there was none to save;3467 even to Yahweh,3068 but he didn't answer6030 them.
43 Then I beat7833 them as small as the dust6083 of the earth.776 I crushed1854 them as the mire2916 of the streets,2351 and spread them abroad.755444 You also have delivered6403 me from the strivings7379 of my people.5971 You have kept8104 me to be the head7218 of the nations.1471 A people5971 whom I have not known3045 will serve5647 me.
45 The foreigners1121 will submit3584 themselves to me. As soon as they hear8085 of me, they will obey8085 me.
46 The foreigners1121 will fade away,5034 and will come trembling2296 out of their close places.452647 Yahweh3068 lives!2416 Blessed1288 be my rock!6697 Exalted7311 be God,430 the rock6697 of my salvation,346848 even the God410 who executes vengeance5414 for me, who brings down3381 peoples5971 under me,
49 who brings me away3318 from my enemies.341 Yes, you lift me up above7311 those who rise up6965 against me. You deliver5337 me from the violent2555 man.37650 Therefore I will give thanks3034 to you, Yahweh,3068 among the nations.1471 Will sing praises2167 to your name.803451 He4024 gives great deliverance3444 to his king,4428 and shows6213 loving kindness2617 to his anointed,4899{or, seed} to David1732 and to his seed,22335704 forevermore."5769
