2 Samuel 22

22:1

And David
<01732>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto the LORD
<03068>

the words
<01697>

of this song
<07892>

in the day
<03117>

[that] the LORD
<03068>

had delivered
<05337> (8689)

him out of the hand
<03709>

of all his enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and out of the hand
<03709>

of Saul
<07586>_:

22:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

[is] my rock
<05553>_,

and my fortress
<04686>_,

and my deliverer
<06403> (8764)_;

22:3

The God
<0430>

of my rock
<06697>_;

in him will I trust
<02620> (8799)_:

[he is] my shield
<04043>_,

and the horn
<07161>

of my salvation
<03468>_,

my high tower
<04869>_,

and my refuge
<04498>_,

my saviour
<03467> (8688)_;

thou savest
<03467> (8686)

me from violence
<02555>_.

22:4

I will call
<07121> (8799)

on the LORD
<03068>_,

[who is] worthy to be praised
<01984> (8794)_:

so shall I be saved
<03467> (8735)

from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

22:5

When the waves
<04867>

of death
<04194>

compassed
<0661> (8804)

me, the floods
<05158>

of ungodly men
<01100>

made me afraid
<01204> (8762)_;

{waves: or, pangs} {ungodly...: Heb. Belial}

22:6

The sorrows
<02256>

of hell
<07585>

compassed me about
<05437> (8804)_;

the snares
<04170>

of death
<04194>

prevented
<06923> (8765)

me; {sorrows: or, cords}

22:7

In my distress
<06862>

I called
<07121> (8799)

upon the LORD
<03068>_,

and cried
<07121> (8799)

to my God
<0430>_:

and he did hear
<08085> (8799)

my voice
<06963>

out of his temple
<01964>_,

and my cry
<07775>

[did enter] into his ears
<0241>_.

22:8

Then the earth
<0776>

shook
<01607> (8691) (8675) <01607> (8799)

and trembled
<07493> (8799)_;

the foundations
<04146>

of heaven
<08064>

moved
<07264> (8799)

and shook
<01607> (8691)_,

because he was wroth
<02734> (8804)_.

22:9

There went up
<05927> (8804)

a smoke
<06227>

out of his nostrils
<0639>_,

and fire
<0784>

out of his mouth
<06310>

devoured
<0398> (8799)_:

coals
<01513>

were kindled
<01197> (8804)

by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by, etc}

22:10

He bowed
<05186> (8799)

the heavens
<08064>

also, and came down
<03381> (8799)_;

and darkness
<06205>

[was] under his feet
<07272>_.

22:11

And he rode
<07392> (8799)

upon a cherub
<03742>_,

and did fly
<05774> (8799)_:

and he was seen
<07200> (8735)

upon the wings
<03671>

of the wind
<07307>_.

22:12

And he made
<07896> (8799)

darkness
<02822>

pavilions
<05521>

round about
<05439>

him, dark
<02841>

waters
<04325>_,

[and] thick clouds
<05645>

of the skies
<07834>_.

{dark...: Heb. binding of waters}

22:13

Through the brightness
<05051>

before him were coals
<01513>

of fire
<0784>

kindled
<01197> (8804)_.

22:14

The LORD
<03068>

thundered
<07481> (8686)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and the most High
<05945>

uttered
<05414> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_.

22:15

And he sent out
<07971> (8799)

arrows
<02671>_,

and scattered
<06327> (8686)

them; lightning
<01300>_,

and discomfited
<02000> (8799)

them.

22:16

And the channels
<0650>

of the sea
<03220>

appeared
<07200> (8735)_,

the foundations
<04146>

of the world
<08398>

were discovered
<01540> (8735)_,

at the rebuking
<01606>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

at the blast
<05397>

of the breath
<07307>

of his nostrils
<0639>_.

22:17

He sent
<07971> (8799)

from above
<04791>_,

he took
<03947> (8799)

me; he drew
<04871> (8686)

me out of many
<07227>

waters
<04325>_;

{many: or, great}

22:18

He delivered
<05337> (8686)

me from my strong
<05794>

enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

[and] from them that hated
<08130> (8802)

me: for they were too strong
<0553> (8804)

for me.

22:19

They prevented
<06923> (8762)

me in the day
<03117>

of my calamity
<0343>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

was my stay
<04937>_.

22:20

He brought me forth
<03318> (8686)

also into a large place
<04800>_:

he delivered
<02502> (8762)

me, because he delighted
<02654> (8804)

in me.

22:21

The LORD
<03068>

rewarded
<01580> (8799)

me according to my righteousness
<06666>_:

according to the cleanness
<01252>

of my hands
<03027>

hath he recompensed
<07725> (8686)

me.

22:22

For I have kept
<08104> (8804)

the ways
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have not wickedly departed
<07561> (8804)

from my God
<0430>_.

22:23

For all his judgments
<04941>

[were] before me: and [as for] his statutes
<02708>_,

I did not depart
<05493> (8799)

from them.

22:24

I was also upright
<08549>

before him, and have kept
<08104> (8691)

myself from mine iniquity
<05771>_.

{before: Heb. to}

22:25

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

hath recompensed
<07725> (8686)

me according to my righteousness
<06666>_;

according to my cleanness
<01252>

in his eye sight
<05048> <05869>_.

{in...: Heb. before his eyes}

22:26

With the merciful
<02623>

thou wilt shew thyself merciful
<02616> (8691)_,

[and] with the upright
<08549>

man
<01368>

thou wilt shew thyself upright
<08552> (8691)_.

22:27

With the pure
<01305> (8737)

thou wilt shew thyself pure
<01305> (8691)_;

and with the froward
<06141>

thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury
<06617> (8691)_.

{shew thyself unsavoury: or, wrestle}

22:28

And the afflicted
<06041>

people
<05971>

thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)_:

but thine eyes
<05869>

[are] upon the haughty
<07311> (8802)_,

[that] thou mayest bring [them] down
<08213> (8686)_.

22:29

For thou [art] my lamp
<05216>_,

O LORD
<03068>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

will lighten
<05050> (8686)

my darkness
<02822>_.

{lamp: or, candle}

22:30

For by thee I have run
<07323> (8799)

through a troop
<01416>_:

by my God
<0430>

have I leaped over
<01801> (8762)

a wall
<07791>_.

{run: or, broken}

22:31

[As for] God
<0410>_,

his way
<01870>

[is] perfect
<08549>_;

the word
<0565>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] tried
<06884> (8803)_:

he [is] a buckler
<04043>

to all them that trust
<02620> (8802)

in him. {tried: or, refined}

22:32

For who [is] God
<0410>_,

save
<01107>

the LORD
<03068>_?

and who [is] a rock
<06697>_,

save
<01107>

our God
<0430>_?

22:33

God
<0410>

[is] my strength
<04581>

[and] power
<02428>_:

and he maketh
<05425> (8686)

my way
<01870>

perfect
<08549>_.

{maketh: Heb. riddeth, or, looseth}

22:34

He maketh
<07737> (0)

my feet
<07272>

like
<07737> (8764)

hinds
<0355>_'

[feet]: and setteth
<05975> (8686)

me upon my high places
<01116>_.

{maketh: Heb. equalleth}

22:35

He teacheth
<03925> (8764)

my hands
<03027>

to war
<04421>_;

so that a bow
<07198>

of steel
<05154>

is broken
<05181> (8765)

by mine arms
<02220>_.

{to war: Heb. for the war}

22:36

Thou hast also given
<05414> (8799)

me the shield
<04043>

of thy salvation
<03468>_:

and thy gentleness
<06031> (8800) (8676) <06038>

hath made me great
<07235> (8686)_.

{made...: Heb. multiplied me}

22:37

Thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8686)

my steps
<06806>

under me; so that my feet
<07166>

did not slip
<04571> (8804)_.

{feet: Heb. ankles}

22:38

I have pursued
<07291> (8799)

mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and destroyed
<08045> (8686)

them; and turned not again
<07725> (8799)

until I had consumed
<03615> (8763)

them.

22:39

And I have consumed
<03615> (8762)

them, and wounded
<04272> (8799)

them, that they could not arise
<06965> (8799)_:

yea, they are fallen
<05307> (8799)

under my feet
<07272>_.

22:40

For thou hast girded
<0247> (8762)

me with strength
<02428>

to battle
<04421>_:

them that rose up
<06965> (8801)

against me hast thou subdued
<03766> (8686)

under me. {subdued: Heb. caused to bow}

22:41

Thou hast also given
<05414> (8804)

me the necks
<06203>

of mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

that I might destroy
<06789> (8686)

them that hate
<08130> (8764)

me.

22:42

They looked
<08159> (8799)_,

but [there was] none to save
<03467> (8688)_;

[even] unto the LORD
<03068>_,

but he answered
<06030> (8804)

them not.

22:43

Then did I beat
<07833> (8799)

them as small as the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>_,

I did stamp
<01854> (8686)

them as the mire
<02916>

of the street
<02351>_,

[and] did spread them abroad
<07554> (8799)_.

22:44

Thou also hast delivered
<06403> (8762)

me from the strivings
<07379>

of my people
<05971>_,

thou hast kept
<08104> (8799)

me [to be] head
<07218>

of the heathen
<01471>_:

a people
<05971>

[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)

not shall serve
<05647> (8799)

me.

22:45

Strangers
<01121> <05236>

shall submit
<03584> (8691)

themselves unto me: as soon as they hear
<08085> (8800) <0241>_,

they shall be obedient
<08085> (8735)

unto me. {Strangers: Heb. Sons of the stranger} {submit...: or, yield feigned obedience: Heb. lie}

22:46

Strangers
<01121> <05236>

shall fade away
<05034> (8799)_,

and they shall be afraid
<02296> (8799)

out of their close places
<04526>_.

22:47

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_;

and blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] my rock
<06697>_;

and exalted
<07311> (8799)

be the God
<0430>

of the rock
<06697>

of my salvation
<03468>_.

22:48

It [is] God
<0410>

that avengeth
<05414> (8802) <05360>

me, and that bringeth down
<03381> (8688)

the people
<05971>

under me, {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengement for}

22:49

And that bringeth me forth
<03318> (8688)

from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_:

thou also hast lifted me up on high
<07311> (8787)

above them that rose up
<06965> (8801)

against me: thou hast delivered
<05337> (8686)

me from the violent
<02555>

man
<0376>_.

22:50

Therefore I will give thanks
<03034> (8686)

unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

among the heathen
<01471>_,

and I will sing praises
<02167> (8762)

unto thy name
<08034>_.

22:51

[He is] the tower
<04024> (8675) <01431> (8688)

of salvation
<03444>

for his king
<04428>_:

and sheweth
<06213> (8802)

mercy
<02617>

to his anointed
<04899>_,

unto David
<01732>_,

and to his seed
<02233>

for
<05704>

evermore
<05769>_.
