2 Samuel 22:24-51

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>_.
