2 Samuel 22:1 And David1732 spake1696 unto the LORD3068 the words1697 of this song7892 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 had delivered5337 him out of the hand3709 of all his enemies,341 and out of the hand3709 of Saul:7586 cr 2 And he said,559 The LORD3068 is my rock,5553 and my fortress,4686 and my deliverer;6403 cr 3 The God430 of my rock;6697 in him will I trust:2620 he is my shield,4043 and the horn7161 of my salvation,3468 my high tower,4869 and my refuge,4498 my saviour;3467 thou savest3467 me from violence.2555 cr 4 I will call7121 on the LORD,3068 who is worthy to be praised:1984 so shall I be saved3467 from mine enemies.341 cr 5 When the waves4867{Or, pangs} of death4194 compassed661 me, the floods5158 of ungodly{Heb. Belial} men1100 made me afraid;1204 cr 6 The sorrows2256{Or, cords} of hell7585 compassed me about;5437 the snares4170 of death4194 prevented6923 me; cr 7 In my distress6862 I called7121 upon the LORD,3068 and cried7121 to my God:430 and he did hear8085 my voice6963 out of his temple,1964 and my cry7775 did enter into his ears.241 cr 8 Then the earth776 shook1607 1607 and trembled;7493 the foundations4146 of heaven8064 moved7264 and shook,1607 because he was wroth.2734 cr 9 There went up5927 a smoke6227 out of his nostrils,639{Heb. by} and fire784 out of his mouth6310 devoured:398 coals1513 were kindled1197 by it. cr 10 He bowed5186 the heavens8064 also, and came down;3381 and darkness6205 was under his feet.7272 cr 11 And he rode7392 upon a cherub,3742 and did fly:5774 and he was seen7200 upon the wings3671 of the wind.7307 cr 12 And he made7896 darkness2822 pavilions5521 round about5439 him, dark2841 waters,4325{Heb. binding of waters} and thick clouds5645 of the skies.7834 cr 13 Through the brightness5051 before him were coals1513 of fire784 kindled.1197 cr 14 The LORD3068 thundered7481 from heaven,8064 and the most High5945 uttered5414 his voice.6963 cr 15 And he sent out7971 arrows,2671 and scattered6327 them; lightning,1300 and discomfited2000 them. cr 16 And the channels650 of the sea3220 appeared,7200 the foundations4146 of the world8398 were discovered,1540 at the rebuking1606 of the LORD,3068 at the blast5397 of the breath7307 of his nostrils.639 cr 17 He sent7971 from above,4791 he took3947 me; he drew4871 me out of many7227{Or, great} waters;4325 cr 18 He delivered5337 me from my strong5794 enemy,341 and from them that hated8130 me: for they were too strong553 for me. cr 19 They prevented6923 me in the day3117 of my calamity:343 but the LORD3068 was my stay.4937 cr 20 He brought me forth3318 also into a large place:4800 he delivered2502 me, because he delighted2654 in me. cr 21 The LORD3068 rewarded1580 me according to my righteousness:6666 according to the cleanness1252 of my hands3027 hath he recompensed7725 me. cr 22 For I have kept8104 the ways1870 of the LORD,3068 and have not wickedly departed7561 from my God.430 cr 23 For all his judgments4941 were before me: and as for his statutes,2708 I did not depart5493 from them. cr 24 I was also upright8549 before him,{Heb. to him} and have kept8104 myself from mine iniquity.5771 cr 25 Therefore the LORD3068 hath recompensed7725 me according to my righteousness;6666 according to my cleanness1252 in his eye sight.5048 5869{Heb. before his eyes} cr 26 With the merciful2623 thou wilt shew thyself merciful,2616 and with the upright8549 man1368 thou wilt shew thyself upright.8552 cr 27 With the pure1305 thou wilt shew thyself pure;1305 and with the froward6141 thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.6617{Or, wrestle} cr 28 And the afflicted6041 people5971 thou wilt save:3467 but thine eyes5869 are upon the haughty,7311 that thou mayest bring them down.8213 cr 29 For thou art my lamp,5216{Or, candle} O LORD:3068 and the LORD3068 will lighten5050 my darkness.2822 cr 30 For by thee I have run7323 through a troop:1416{Or, broken a troop} by my God430 have I leaped over1801 a wall.7791 cr 31 As for God,410 his way1870 is perfect;8549 the word565 of the LORD3068 is tried:6884{Or, refined} he is a buckler4043 to all them that trust2620 in him. cr 32 For who is God,410 save1107 the LORD?3068 and who is a rock,6697 save1107 our God?430 cr 33 God410 is my strength4581 and power:2428 and he maketh5425{Heb. riddeth, or, looseth} my way1870 perfect.8549 cr 34 He maketh7737 2794{Heb. equalleth} my feet7272 like7737 hinds'355 feet: and setteth5975 me upon my high places.1116 cr 35 He teacheth3925 my hands3027 to war;4421{Heb. for the war} so that a bow7198 of steel5154 is broken5181 by mine arms.2220 cr 36 Thou hast also given5414 me the shield4043 of thy salvation:3468 and thy gentleness6031 6038 hath made me great.7235{Heb. multiplied me} cr 37 Thou hast enlarged7337 my steps6806 under me; so that my feet7166{Heb. ankles} did not slip.4571 cr 38 I have pursued7291 mine enemies,341 and destroyed8045 them; and turned not again7725 until I had consumed3615 them. cr 39 And I have consumed3615 them, and wounded4272 them, that they could not arise:6965 yea, they are fallen5307 under my feet.7272 cr 40 For thou hast girded247 me with strength2428 to battle:4421 them that rose up6965 against me hast thou subdued3766{Heb. caused to bow} under me. cr 41 Thou hast also given5414 me the necks6203 of mine enemies,341 that I might destroy6789 them that hate8130 me. cr 42 They looked,8159 but there was none to save;3467 even unto the LORD,3068 but he answered6030 them not. cr 43 Then did I beat7833 them as small as the dust6083 of the earth,776 I did stamp1854 them as the mire2916 of the street,2351 and did spread them abroad.7554 cr 44 Thou also hast delivered6403 me from the strivings7379 of my people,5971 thou hast kept8104 me to be head7218 of the heathen:1471 a people5971 which I knew3045 not shall serve5647 me. cr 45 Strangers1121 5236{Heb. sons of the stranger} shall submit3584{Or, yield fainted obedience. Heb. lie} themselves unto me: as soon as they hear,8085 241 they shall be obedient8085 unto me. cr 46 Strangers1121 5236 shall fade away,5034 and they shall be afraid2296 out of their close places.4526 cr 47 The LORD3068 liveth;2416 and blessed1288 be my rock;6697 and exalted7311 be the God430 of the rock6697 of my salvation.3468 cr 48 It is God410 that avengeth5414 5360 me,{Heb. giveth avengement for me} and that bringeth down3381 the people5971 under me, cr 49 And that bringeth me forth3318 from mine enemies:341 thou also hast lifted me up on high7311 above them that rose up6965 against me: thou hast delivered5337 me from the violent2555 man.376 cr 50 Therefore I will give thanks3034 unto thee, O LORD,3068 among the heathen,1471 and I will sing praises2167 unto thy name.8034 cr 51 He is the tower4024 1431 of salvation3444 for his king:4428 and sheweth6213 mercy2617 to his anointed,4899 unto David,1732 and to his seed2233 for5704 evermore.5769 cr
