< 2 Samuel 22 >
1 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 Yahweh [is] rock my and stronghold my and deliverer my to me.
3 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 [the one] to be praised I called out to Yahweh and from enemies my I am delivered.
5 For they surrounded me [the] breakers of death torrents of worthlessness they overwhelmed me.
6 [the] cords of Sheol they surrounded me they confronted me [the] snares of death. (Sheol )
7 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 (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 It went up smoke in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.
10 And he bowed [the] heavens and he came down and thick darkness [was] under feet his.
11 And he rode on a cherub and he flew and he appeared on [the] wings of [the] wind.
12 And he put darkness around him shelters a sieve of waters dark clouds of clouds.
13 From [the] brightness before him they burned coals of fire.
14 He thundered from heaven Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave voice his.
15 And he sent arrows and he scattered them [with] lightning (and he routed [them]. *Q(K)*)
16 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 stretched out from a high place he took hold of me he drew me from waters many.
18 He rescued me from enemy my mighty from [those who] hate me for they were [too] strong for me.
19 They confronted me in [the] day of calamity my and he was Yahweh a support of me.
20 And he brought out to roomy place me he rescued me for he delighted in me.
21 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 Yahweh and not I have acted wickedly from God my.
23 For all (judgments his *Q(K)*) [are] to before me and statutes his not I turn aside from it.
24 And I was blameless to him and I kept myself! from iniquity my.
25 And he repaid Yahweh to me according to righteousness my according to cleanness my to before eyes his.
26 With a faithful [person] you show yourself faithful with a mighty [man] blameless you show yourself blameless.
27 With [one who] purifies himself you show yourself pure and with a perverse [person] you show yourself twisted.
28 And a people afflicted you save and eyes your [are] on haughty [people] you bring [them] low.
29 For you [are] lamp my O Yahweh and Yahweh he lightens darkness my.
30 For by you I run a marauding band by God my I leap over a wall.
31 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 except Yahweh and who? [is] a rock except God our.
33 God [is] place of refuge my strength and he set free a blameless [person] (way my. *Q(K)*)
34 [he is] making (Feet my *Q(K)*) like does and on high places my he makes stand firm me.
35 [he has] trained Hands my for battle and it will stretch a bow of bronze arms my.
36 And you gave to me [the] shield of salvation your and answering your you make great me.
37 You enlarge step[s] my under me and not they slip ankles my.
38 Let me pursue enemies my and I destroyed them and not I returned until brought to an end them.
39 And I brought to an end them and I shattered them and not they will rise! and they fell under feet my.
40 And you have girded me strength for battle you make bow down [those who] rise against me under me.
41 And enemies my you have given to me a neck [those who] hate me and I destroyed them.
42 They looked and there not [was] a deliverer to Yahweh and not he answered them.
43 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 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 Sons of foreignness they cringed to me to hear an ear they became obedient to me.
46 Sons of foreignness they withered and they may girdethemselves from strongholds their.
47 [is] living Yahweh and [be] blessed rock my and may he be exalted [the] God of [the] rock of salvation my.
48 God [is] the [one who] gives vengeance to me and [is] bringing down peoples under me.
49 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 There-fore I will give thanks you O Yahweh among the nations and to name your I will sing praise.
51 ([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.
