2Samuel 22

22And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.H1732H1696H3068H1697H7892H3117H3068H5337H3709H341H3709H75862He said, "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,H559H3068H5553H4686H64033my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.H430H6697H2620H4043H7161H3468H4869H4498H3467H3467H25554I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.H7121H3068H1984H3467H3415"For the waves of death encompassed me, the torrents of destruction assailed me;H4867H4194H661H5158H1100H12046the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.H2256H7585H5437H4170H4194H69237"In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears.H6862H7121H3068H7121H430H8085H6963H1964H7775H2418"Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry.H776H1607H1607H7493H4146H8064H7264H1607H27349Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.H5927H6227H639H784H6310H398H1513H119710He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.H5186H8064H3381H6205H727211He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.H7392H3742H5774H7200H3671H730712He made darkness around him his canopy, thick clouds, a gathering of water.H7896H2822H5521H5439H2841H4325H5645H783413Out of the brightness before him coals of fire flamed forth.H5051H1513H784H119714The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.H3068H7481H8064H5945H5414H696315And he sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and routed them.H7971H2671H6327H1300H200016Then the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare, at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.H650H3220H7200H4146H8398H1540H1606H3068H5397H7307H63917"He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.H7971H4791H3947H4871H7227H432518He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.H5337H5794H341H8130H55319They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.H6923H3117H343H3068H493720He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.H3318H4800H2502H265421"The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.H3068H1580H6666H1252H3027H772522For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.H8104H1870H3068H7561H43023For all his rules were before me, and from his statutes I did not turn aside.H4941H2708H549324I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt.H8549H8104H577125And the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.H3068H7725H6666H1252H5048H586926"With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;H2623H2616H8549H1368H855227with the purified you deal purely, and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.H1305H1305H6141H661728You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.H6041H5971H3467H5869H7311H821329For you are my lamp, O LORD, and my God lightens my darkness.H5216H3068H3068H5050H282230For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.H7323H1416H430H1801H779131This God—his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.H410H1870H8549H565H3068H6884H4043H262032"For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?H410H1107H3068H6697H1107H43033This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless.H410H4581H2428H5425H1870H854934He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.H7737H7272H7737H355H5975H111635He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.H3925H3027H4421H7198H5154H5181H222036You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your gentleness made me great.H5414H4043H3468H6031H6038H723537You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip;H7337H6806H7166H457138I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, and did not turn back until they were consumed.H7291H341H8045H7725H361539I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise; they fell under my feet.H3615H4272H6965H5307H727240For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.H247H2428H4421H6965H376641You made my enemies turn their backs to me, those who hated me, and I destroyed them.H5414H6203H341H6789H813042They looked, but there was none to save; they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.H8159H3467H3068H603043I beat them fine as the dust of the earth; I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.H7833H6083H776H1854H2916H2351H755444"You delivered me from strife with my people; you kept me as the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.H6403H7379H5971H8104H7218H1471H5971H3045H564745Foreigners came cringing to me; as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.H1121H5236H3584H8085H241H808546Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses.H1121H5236H5034H2296H452647"The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,H3068H2416H1288H6697H7311H430H6697H346848the God who gave me vengeance and brought down peoples under me,H410H5414H5360H3381H597149who brought me out from my enemies; you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from men of violence.H3318H341H7311H6965H5337H2555H37650"For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing praises to your name.H3034H3068H1471H2167H803451Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever."H4024H1431H3444H4428H6213H2617H4899H1732H2233H5704H5769
