II Samuel 22
1 Kinanta ni David ti linaon daytoy a kanta kenni Yahweh iti aldaw a panangispal ni Yahweh kenkuana manipud iti ima dagiti amin a kabusorna, ken manipud iti ima ni Saul.
David sang the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord saved him from all his enemies, and from Saul.
2 Nagkararag isuna, “Ni Yahweh ti dakkel a bato a sarikedkedko, ti mangispal kaniak.
He sang: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my Savior.
3 Ti Dios ti dakkel a bato a sarikedkedko. Kumamkamangak kenkuana. Isuna ti salaknibko, ti sara iti pannakaisalakanko, ti kalasagko ken ti pagkamkamangak, ti mangisalakan kaniak manipud iti kinaranggas.
He is my God, my rock who protects me. He shields me from harm, his power saves me, he keeps me safe. He is my protector; he is my savior; he saves me from violence.
4 Umawagak kenni Yahweh, a maikari a padayawan, ket maisalakanakto manipud kadagiti kabusorko.
I call for help from the Lord, who should be praised, and he saves me from those who hate me.
5 Gapu ta linikmotnak dagiti dalluyon ni patay. Kasla riningbawannak ti napegges a danum ti kinaawan serserbi.
The waves of death swept over me; surging waters of destruction flooded over me;
The grave wound its ropes around me; death set snares for me. (Sheol h7585)
7 Iti pannakariribukko immawagak kenni Yahweh; immawagak iti Diosko; nangngegna ti timekko manipud iti templona, ket nakadanun kadagiti lapayagna ti panagkiddawko iti tulong.
In my despair I called on the Lord; I called out to my God. He heard my voice from his Temple; my cry for help reached his ears.
8 Ket naggingined ti daga ken nagunggon. Nagunggon ken nagindayon dagiti pundasion dagiti langlangit, gapu ta nakapungtot ti Dios.
The earth shook to and fro; the foundations of the heavens trembled, shaking because of his anger.
9 Rimmuar ti asuk manipud kadagiti abut ti agongna, ken rimmuar ti gumilgil-ayab nga apuy iti ngiwatna. Napasgedan dagiti beggang babaen iti daytoy.
Smoke came out of his nostrils, and fire from his mouth, burning coals that blazed before him.
10 Linuktanna dagiti langlangit ket bimmaba isuna, ket adda napuskol a kinasipnget iti babaen dagiti sakana.
He pushed aside the heavens and came down, with dark clouds beneath his feet.
11 Nagsakay isuna iti kerubin ket timmayab. Nakitada nga agtaytayab isuna a nakalugan kadagiti payyak ti angin.
Riding on a heavenly being he flew, swooping on the wings of the wind.
12 Ket pinagbalinna ti sipnget a kasla tolda iti aglawlawna, agur-urnong iti napigsa a tudo dagiti ulep iti tangatang.
He hid himself in darkness, covering himself with black rainclouds.
13 Manipud iti kimat iti sangoananna ket natinnag dagiti dumardarang a beggang.
Burning coals blazed out of his brightness.
14 Naggurruod ni Yahweh manipud kadagiti langlangit. Nagpukkaw ti Kangangatoan.
The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 Nangibiat isuna kadagiti pana ken winarawarana dagiti kabusorna— kadagiti kanabsiit ti kimat, winarawarana ida.
He fired his arrows, scattering his enemies, he routed them with his lightning bolts.
16 Ket nagparang dagiti pagayusan ti danum; nawaknitan dagiti pundasion ti lubong iti panagpukkaw ni Yahweh para iti gubat, iti napigsa nga anges manipud kadagiti abut ti agongna.
The Lord roared, and by the wind from the breath of his nostrils the valleys of the sea could be seen and the foundations of the earth were uncovered.
17 Ginaw-atnak manipud iti ngato; ket iniggamannak! Ginuyodnak manipud iti naapres a danum.
He reached down his hand from above and grabbed hold of me. He dragged me out of the deep water.
18 Inispalnak manipud iti napigsa a kabusorko, manipud kadagiti nanggura kaniak, gapu ta napigsada unay para kaniak.
He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and who were much stronger than me.
19 Dinarupdak iti aldaw ti pannakariribukko, ngem ni Yahweh ti timmulong kaniak.
They came at me at my worst possible moment, but the Lord supported me.
20 Inruarnak pay iti nalawa a nawaya a lugar. Insalakannak gapu ta naay-ayo isuna kaniak.
He set me free, he rescued me because he's happy with me.
21 Ginungunaannak ni Yahweh segun iti kinalintegko; insublinak iti sigud a kasasaadko segun iti kinadalus dagiti imak.
The Lord rewarded me because I do what's right; he repaid me because I am innocent.
22 Gapu ta tinungpalko dagiti wagas ni Yahweh ken saanak a nagtignay a sidadangkes babaen iti panangtallikodko iti Diosko.
For I have followed the Lord's ways; I have not sinned by turning away from my God.
23 Ta saanko a tinallikudan dagiti amin a lintegna nga adda iti sangoanak; kasta met dagiti bilbilinna.
I have kept all his laws in mind; I have not ignored his commandments.
24 Ket awan met pakababalawak iti imatangna, ken inyadayok ti bagik iti basol.
I am blameless in his sight; I keep myself from sinning.
25 Isu nga insublinak ni Yahweh iti sigud a kasasaadko segun iti kinalintegko, segun iti kinadalusko iti imatangna.
The Lord rewarded me for doing what's right. I am innocent in his sight.
26 Iti daydiay a napudno, ipakitam a napudnoka; iti maysa a tao nga awan pakababalawanna, ipakitam ti bagim nga awan pakababalawanna.
You show trust to those who are trusting; you show integrity to those with integrity,
27 Iti nadalus, ipakpakitam ti bagim a nadalus, ngem naungetka kadagiti nakillo.
You show yourself pure to those who are pure, but you show yourself astute to those who are crafty.
28 Isalsalakanmo dagiti agsagsagaba a tattao, ngem bumusor dagiti matam kadagiti napalangguad, ken ipabpababam ida.
You save the humble, but your eyes watch the proud to bring them down.
29 Ta sika ti silaw ko, Yahweh. Lawlawagan ni Yahweh ti kinasipngetko.
You, Lord, are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness.
30 Ta babaen kenka mabalinko a lagtoen ti maysa a bangen; babaen iti Diosko mabalinko a lagtoen ti maysa a pader.
With you, I can charge down a troop of soldiers; with you, my God, I can climb a fortress wall.
31 No maipanggep iti Dios, awan pagkurangan ti wagasna. Nasin-aw ti sao ni Yahweh. Isuna ket maysa a kalasag kadagiti amin a kumamkamang kenkuana.
God's way is absolutely right. What the Lord says is trustworthy. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
32 Ta siasinno ti Dios no di laeng ni Yahweh? Ken siansinno ti dakkel a bato no di laeng a ti Diostayo?
For who is God except the Lord? Who is a Rock, except our God?
33 Ti Dios ti kamangko, ken iturturongna iti dalanna ti tao nga awan iti pakapilawanna.
God makes me strong and keeps me safe.
34 Pappapartakenna dagiti sakak a kas iti ugsa ken ikabkabilnak kadagiti banbantay.
He makes me surefooted like the deer, able to walk the heights in safety.
35 Sansanayenna dagiti imak para iti gubat, ken dagiti takkiagko a mangpilko kadagiti bai a bronse.
He teaches me how to fight in battle; he gives me the strength to draw a bronze bow.
36 Intedmo kaniak ti kalasag ti panangisalakanmo, ken babaen iti pabormo pinagbalinnak a natan-ok.
You protect me with the shield of your salvation; your help has made me great.
37 Nangaramidka iti nalawa a lugar iti babaek a para kadagiti sakak, isu a pulos a saan a maikaglis dagiti sakak.
You gave me room to walk, and prevented my feet from slipping.
38 Kinamatko dagiti kabusorko ket dinadaelko ida. Saanak a nagsubli aginggana a nadadaelda.
I chased my enemies, and caught up with them. I did not turn around until I had destroyed them.
39 Inalun-on ken dinadaelko ida; saandan a makabangon. Napasagda iti siruk dagiti sakak.
I struck them down—they couldn't get up. They fell at my feet.
40 Ikkannak iti pigsa a kas iti barikes a pakigubat; ikabkabilmo iti babaek dagiti mangbusbusor kaniak.
You made me strong for the battle; you made those who rose up against me kneel low before me.
41 Intedmo kaniak dagiti teltel dagiti kabusorko; pinarmekko dagiti nanggura kaniak.
You made my enemies run away; I destroyed all my enemies.
42 Dimmawatda iti tulong; ngem awan ti nangisalakan kadakuada; immmawagda kenni Yahweh, ngem saanna ida a sinungbatan.
They cried out for help, but no one came to rescue them. They even called out to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
43 Rinumekko ida a kas iti tapok iti daga, binayok ida a kasla pitak kadagiti kalsada.
I ground them into dust, like the dust of the earth. I crushed them and threw them out like mud in the street.
44 Inispalnak met manipud kadagiti panagsusuppiat dagiti tattaok. Pinagtalinaednak a kas panguloen dagiti nasion. Agserserbi kaniak dagiti tattao a saanko nga am-ammo.
You rescued me from rebellious people; you have kept me as ruler over nations—people I didn't know now serve me.
45 Napilitan a nagtamed kaniak dagiti ganggannaet.
Foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey.
46 Apaman a nangngegandak, nagtulnogda kaniak. Agtigtigerger dagiti ganggannaet a rimmuar kadagiti paglemlemmenganda.
They lose heart, and come trembling in surrender from their strongholds.
47 Agbiag ni Yahweh! Maidaydayaw koma ti dakkel a batok. Maitan-ok koma ti Dios, ti dakkel a bato iti pannakaisalankanko.
The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! May the God who saves me be praised!
48 Daytoy ti Dios a mangipatpatungpal iti panangibales para kaniak, ti mangparparukma kadigiti tattao kaniak.
God avenges me, he puts peoples under me,
49 Winayawayaannak manipud kadagiti kabusorko. Pudno, intag-aynak kadagiti bimmusor kaniak. Is-ispalennak manipud kadagiti naranggas a tattao.
He frees me from those who hate me. You keep me safe from those who rebel against me, you save me from violent men.
50 Isu nga agyamanak kenka, Yahweh, kadagiti nasion; agkantaak kadagiti kanta a pagdayaw iti naganmo.
That's why I will praise you among the nations, Lord; I will sing praises about who you are.
51 Ipapaay ti Dios ti naindaklan a balligi iti arina, ken ipakpakitana iti tulag ti di panagbalbaliw ti panunotna iti pinulotanna, kenni David ken kadagiti kaputotanna, iti agnanayon.”
You have saved the king so often, showing your trustworthy love to David, your anointed, and to his descendants forever.”
