2 Samuel 22
1 And David made a song to the Lord in these words, on the day when the Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul:
And he spoke David to Yahweh [the] words of the song this on [the] day [when] he delivered Yahweh him from [the] hand of all enemies his and from [the] hand of Saul.
2 And he said, The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour, even mine;
And he said Yahweh [is] rock my and stronghold my and deliverer my to me.
3 My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.
O God of rock my [whom] I take refuge in him shield my and [the] horn of salvation my refuge my and place of escape my O deliverer my from violence you deliver me.
4 I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.
[the one] to be praised I called out to Yahweh and from enemies my I am delivered.
5 For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear;
For they surrounded me [the] breakers of death torrents of worthlessness they overwhelmed me.
[the] cords of Sheol they surrounded me they confronted me [the] snares of death. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears.
When it was distress to me I called out to Yahweh and to God my I called out and he heard from temple his voice my and cry for help my [was] in ears his.
8 Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.
(And it shook back and forth *Q(K)*) and it quaked the earth [the] foundations of the heavens they trembled and they shook back and forth for it burned to him.
9 There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.
It went up smoke in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.
10 The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.
And he bowed [the] heavens and he came down and thick darkness [was] under feet his.
11 And he went through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.
And he rode on a cherub and he flew and he appeared on [the] wings of [the] wind.
12 And he made the dark his tent round him, a mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
And he put darkness around him shelters a sieve of waters dark clouds of clouds.
13 Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire.
From [the] brightness before him they burned coals of fire.
14 The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out.
He thundered from heaven Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave voice his.
15 And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.
And he sent arrows and he scattered them [with] lightning (and he routed [them]. *Q(K)*)
16 Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord's wrath, because of the breath of his mouth.
And they appeared [the] channels of [the] sea they were uncovered [the] foundations of [the] world at [the] rebuke of Yahweh from [the] breathing of [the] breath of nose his.
17 He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.
He stretched out from a high place he took hold of me he drew me from waters many.
18 He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.
He rescued me from enemy my mighty from [those who] hate me for they were [too] strong for me.
19 They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support.
They confronted me in [the] day of calamity my and he was Yahweh a support of me.
20 He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.
And he brought out to roomy place me he rescued me for he delighted in me.
21 The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.
He dealt with me Yahweh according to righteousness my according to [the] cleanness of hands my he repaid to me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.
For I have kept [the] ways of Yahweh and not I have acted wickedly from God my.
23 For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.
For all (judgments his *Q(K)*) [are] to before me and statutes his not I turn aside from it.
24 And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
And I was blameless to him and I kept myself! from iniquity my.
25 Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.
And he repaid Yahweh to me according to righteousness my according to cleanness my to before eyes his.
26 On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;
With a faithful [person] you show yourself faithful with a mighty [man] blameless you show yourself blameless.
27 He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.
With [one who] purifies himself you show yourself pure and with a perverse [person] you show yourself twisted.
28 For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but your eyes are on men of pride, to make them low.
And a people afflicted you save and eyes your [are] on haughty [people] you bring [them] low.
29 For you are my light, O Lord; and the Lord will make the dark bright for me.
For you [are] lamp my O Yahweh and Yahweh he lightens darkness my.
30 By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.
For by you I run a marauding band by God my I leap over a wall.
31 As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him.
God [is] blameless way his [the] word of Yahweh [is] refined [is] a shield he for all those [who] seek refuge in him.
32 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a Rock but our God?
For who? [is] God except Yahweh and who? [is] a rock except God our.
33 God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.
God [is] place of refuge my strength and he set free a blameless [person] (way my. *Q(K)*)
34 He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.
[he is] making (Feet my *Q(K)*) like does and on high places my he makes stand firm me.
35 He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.
[he has] trained Hands my for battle and it will stretch a bow of bronze arms my.
36 You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.
And you gave to me [the] shield of salvation your and answering your you make great me.
37 You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip.
You enlarge step[s] my under me and not they slip ankles my.
38 I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.
Let me pursue enemies my and I destroyed them and not I returned until brought to an end them.
39 I have sent destruction on them and given them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.
And I brought to an end them and I shattered them and not they will rise! and they fell under feet my.
40 For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me.
And you have girded me strength for battle you make bow down [those who] rise against me under me.
41 By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.
And enemies my you have given to me a neck [those who] hate me and I destroyed them.
42 They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.
They looked and there not [was] a deliverer to Yahweh and not he answered them.
43 Then they were crushed as small as the dust of the earth, stamped down under my feet like the waste of the streets.
And I beat fine them like [the] dust of [the] earth like [the] mud of [the] streets I pulverized them I beat out them.
44 You have made me free from the fightings of my people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.
And you rescued me from [the] strifes of people my you kept me to [the] head of [the] nations a people [whom] not I knew they served me.
45 Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.
Sons of foreignness they cringed to me to hear an ear they became obedient to me.
46 They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.
Sons of foreignness they withered and they may girdethemselves from strongholds their.
47 The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured:
[is] living Yahweh and [be] blessed rock my and may he be exalted [the] God of [the] rock of salvation my.
48 It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.
God [is] the [one who] gives vengeance to me and [is] bringing down peoples under me.
49 He makes me free from my haters: I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.
And [is] bringing out me from enemies my and from [those who] rise against me you lift up me from a man of violence you rescue me.
50 Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.
There-fore I will give thanks you O Yahweh among the nations and to name your I will sing praise.
51 Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.
([the] tower *Q(K)*) Of [the] salvation of king his and [who] does covenant loyalty to anointed his to David and to offspring his until perpetuity.
