II Samuel
Chapter 22
1
And David spoke unto Jehovah/God
the
words of this song in the day
that
the Jehovah/God had delivered him
out
of the hand of all his enemies,
and
out of the hand of Saul:
2
And he said,
"Jehovah/God
is my rock,
and
my fortress,
and
my deliverer.
3
The 'Elohiym/Godhead of my rock . . .
in
Him will I trust.
He
is my shield,
and
the horn of my salvation,
my
high tower,
and
my refuge,
my
Savior . . .
You
save me from violence.
4
I will call on Jehovah/God,
Who
is worthy to be praised.
So
shall I be delivered from my enemies.
5
When the waves of death surround me,
the
floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
6
The sorrows of Sheol/Hades surround me about.
The
snares of death prevented me.
7
In my distress, I called upon Jehovah/God,
and
cried to my Elohiym/Godhead.
And
He did hear my voice out of His temple,
and
my cry did enter into His ears.
8
Then the earth shook and trembled.
The
foundations of heaven moved and shook,
because
He 'was angry'/'had righteous indignation'.
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
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 pavilions round about Him,
dark
waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13
Through the brightness before Him were coals of fire kindled.
14
Jehovah/God thundered from heaven,
and
the Most High uttered His voice.
15
And He sent out arrows, and scattered them.
Lightning
discomfited them.
16
And the channels of the sea appeared.
The
foundations of the world were discovered,
at
the rebuking of Jehovah/God,
at
the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17
He sent from above.
He
took me.
He
drew me out of many waters.
18
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
and
from them that hated me . . .
for
they were too strong for me.
19
They prevented me in the day of my calamity
but
Jehovah/God was my stay.
20
He brought me forth also into a large place.
He
delivered me,
because
He delighted in me.
21
Jehovah/God rewarded me according to my righteousness
according
to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.
22
For I have kept the Ways of the Jehovah/God,
and
have not wickedly departed from my Elohiym/Godhead.
23
For all his judgments were before me.
And
as for His statutes,
I
did not depart from them.
24
I was also upright before Him,
and
have kept myself from my iniquity.
25
Therefore Jehovah/God
has
recompensed me according to my righteousness
according
to my cleanness in His eye sight.
26
With the merciful, You will show Yourself merciful,
and
with the upright man, You will show Yourself upright.
27
With the pure, You will show Yourself pure.
And
with the perverted/crooked You will show yourself unsavoury.
28
And the afflicted people You will save.
But
your eyes are upon the arrogant/haughty,
that
You may bring them down.
29
For You are my lamp, O Jehovah/God.
And
Jehovah/God will lighten my darkness.
30
For by You I have run through a troop.
By
my 'Elohiym/Godhead have I leaped over a wall.
31
As for Elohiym/Godhead, His Way is perfect.
The
Word of Jehovah/God is proved/tried.
He
is a buckler to all them that trust in Him.
32
For who is Elohiym/Godhead, except Jehovah/God?
And
Who is a rock, except our Elohiym/Godhead?
33
'Elohiym/Godhead is my strength and power.
And
He makes my way perfect.
34
He makes my feet like hinds' feet.
And
sets me upon my high places.
35
He teaches my hands to war;
so
that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation.
And
Your gentleness has made me great.
37
You have enlarged my steps under me
so
that my feet did not slip.
38
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them.
And
turned not again until I had consumed them.
39
And I have consumed them,
and
wounded them,
that
they could not arise.
Yes,
they are fallen under my feet.
40
For You have girded me with strength to battle.
Them
who rose up against me
have
you subdued under me.
41
You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
that
I might destroy them who hate me.
42
They looked, but there was none to save;
even
unto Jehovah/God,
but
He answered them not.
43
Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth,
I
did stamp them as the mire of the street,
and
did spread them abroad.
44
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people,
You
have kept me to be head of the heathen . . .
a
people which I knew not shall serve me.
45
Strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
As
soon as they hear,
they
shall be obedient unto me.
46
Strangers shall fade away,
and
they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47
Jehovah/God lives.
And
blessed be my rock.
And
exalted be the 'Elohiym/Godhead
of
the rock of my salvation.
48
It is 'Elohiym/Godhead that avenges me,
and
that brings down the people under me.
49
And that brings me forth from my enemies.
You
also have lifted me up on high
above
them that rose up against me.
You
have delivered me from the violent man.
50
Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O Jehovah/God,
among
the heathen, and I will sing praises unto Your name.
51
He is the tower of salvation for his king.
And
shows mercy to his anointed, unto David,
and
to his seed forevermore.
