2 Samuel 22

2 Sam. 22:1	And David spoke the words of this song to Jehovah on the day when Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 Sam. 22:2	And he said: / Jehovah is my crag and my fortress and my Deliverer;
2 Sam. 22:3	My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; / My shield and the horn of my salvation, my high retreat and my refuge; / My Savior, You save me from violence.
2 Sam. 22:4	I called upon Jehovah, who is worthy of praise, / And from my enemies I was saved.
2 Sam. 22:5	For the waves of death encompassed me; / The torrents of destruction assailed me.
2 Sam. 22:6	The cords of Sheol surrounded me; / The snares of death confronted me.
2 Sam. 22:7	In my distress I called upon Jehovah / And called to my God. / And He heard my voice from His temple, / And my cry [came] to His ears.
2 Sam. 22:8	Then the earth shook and quaked, / And the foundations of the heavens trembled and shook about, / For He was furious.
2 Sam. 22:9	Smoke went up from His nostrils, / And fire from His mouth devoured; / Coals blazed forth from Him.
2 Sam. 22:10	He bowed the heavens down and descended, / And deep darkness was under His feet.
2 Sam. 22:11	He rode upon a cherub and did fly; / He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
2 Sam. 22:12	And He made darkness pavilions around Him: / Dark waterclouds, thick clouds of the skies.
2 Sam. 22:13	Out of the brightness before Him / Fiery coals were kindled.
2 Sam. 22:14	Jehovah thundered from heaven, / And the Most High uttered His voice.
2 Sam. 22:15	And He sent forth arrows and scattered my enemies; / Lightning bolts, and discomfited them.
2 Sam. 22:16	The channels of the sea were seen, / The foundations of the habitable land were laid bare, / By the rebuke of Jehovah, / At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
2 Sam. 22:17	He reached forth from on high; He took me; / He drew me out of great waters.
2 Sam. 22:18	He delivered me from my strong enemy / And from those who hate me, for they were too mighty for me.
2 Sam. 22:19	They confronted me in the day of my calamity, / But Jehovah became my support.
2 Sam. 22:20	He brought me forth to a place broad and free; / He rescued me, for He took delight in me.
2 Sam. 22:21	Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness; / According to the cleanness of my hands He has repaid me.
2 Sam. 22:22	For I have kept the ways of Jehovah / And have not acted wickedly [by turning] away from my God.
2 Sam. 22:23	For all His judgments were before me, / And as for His statutes, I did not turn away from them.
2 Sam. 22:24	I was perfect toward Him, / And I kept myself from my iniquity.
2 Sam. 22:25	Therefore Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, / According to my cleanness in His sight.
2 Sam. 22:26	With the faithful You show Yourself faithful, / With the perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
2 Sam. 22:27	With the pure You show Yourself pure, / And with the perverse You show Yourself contrary.
2 Sam. 22:28	And You save the afflicted people, / But Your eyes are upon the haughty that You may bring [them] down;
2 Sam. 22:29	For You are my lamp, O Jehovah. / And Jehovah lights up my darkness;
2 Sam. 22:30	For by You I can run up against a troop; / By my God I can leap over a wall.
2 Sam. 22:31	As for God, His way is perfect; / The word of Jehovah is tried. / He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
2 Sam. 22:32	For who is God other than Jehovah, / And who is a rock except our God?
2 Sam. 22:33	God is my strong fortress, / And He makes my way perfect;
2 Sam. 22:34	He makes my feet like hinds' [feet] / And sets me on my high places;
2 Sam. 22:35	He teaches my hands to wage war / So that my arms may bend a bronze bow.
2 Sam. 22:36	And You have given me the shield of Your salvation, / And Your condescending gentleness has made me great.
2 Sam. 22:37	You have broadened the places of my steps under me, / And my feet have not slipped.
2 Sam. 22:38	I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, / And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
2 Sam. 22:39	And I devoured them and shattered them, so that they did not rise up; / Indeed, they have fallen under my feet.
2 Sam. 22:40	And You girded me with strength for war; / You brought down under me those who rose up against me.
2 Sam. 22:41	You also made my enemies turn [their] back to me, / And I annihilated those who hated me.
2 Sam. 22:42	They looked, but there was no one to save [them;] / [They looked] to Jehovah, but He did not answer them.
2 Sam. 22:43	Then I beat them like the dust of the earth; / I pounded them, I stamped them, like the mud of the streets.
2 Sam. 22:44	And You rescued me from the strivings of my people; / You have kept me [as] the head of the nations; / A people whom I have not known serves me.
2 Sam. 22:45	Foreigners come cringing to me; / At the [mere] hearing of a report, they obey me;
2 Sam. 22:46	Foreigners are discouraged / And come quaking out of their fortresses.
2 Sam. 22:47	Jehovah lives; and blessed be my rock, / And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
2 Sam. 22:48	The God who executes vengeance for me / And brings down peoples under me,
2 Sam. 22:49	And who brings me forth from my enemies. / Yes, You exalted me above those who rise up against me; / From the violent man You delivered me.
2 Sam. 22:50	Therefore I give thanks to You among the nations, O Jehovah; / And I sing psalms to Your name.
2 Sam. 22:51	[It is He] who magnifies salvation to His king / And executes lovingkindness to His anointed, / To David and to his seed forever.
