1 David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: 2 and he said, Yahweh is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine; 3 God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My savior, you save me from violence. 4 I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies. 5 For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid: 6 The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came on me. 7 In my distress I called on Yahweh; Yes, I called to my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, My cry [came] into his ears. 8 Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked Were shaken, because he was angry. 9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, Fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it. 10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; Thick darkness was under his feet. 11 He rode on a cherub, and did fly; Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness pavilions round about him, Gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 13 At the brightness before him Coals of fire were kindled. 14 Yahweh thundered from heaven, The Most High uttered his voice. 15 He sent out arrows, and scattered them; Lightning, and confused them. 16 Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 17 He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters; 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me. 19 They came on me in the day of my calamity; But Yahweh was my stay. 20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me. 22 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my God. 23 For all his ordinances were before me; As for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 24 I was also perfect toward him; I kept myself from my iniquity. 25 Therefore has Yahweh recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight. 26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect; 27 With the pure you will show yourself pure; With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd. 28 The afflicted people you will save; But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down. 29 For you are my lamp, Yahweh; Yahweh will lighten my darkness. 30 For by you I run on a troop; By my God do I leap over a wall. 31 As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Yahweh is tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. 32 For who is God, save Yahweh? Who is a rock, save our God? 33 God is my strong fortress; He guides the perfect in his way. 34 He makes his feet like hinds' [feet], Sets me on my high places. 35 He teaches my hands to war, So that my arms do bend a bow of brass. 36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great. 37 You have enlarged my steps under me; My feet have not slipped. 38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again until they were consumed. 39 I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can't arise: Yes, they are fallen under my feet. 40 For you have girded me with strength to the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. 41 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, That I might cut off those who hate me. 42 They looked, but there was none to save; Even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them. 43 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad. 44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me. 45 The foreigners shall submit themselves to me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me. 46 The foreigners shall fade away, Shall come trembling out of their close places. 47 Yahweh lives; Blessed be my rock; Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation, 48 Even the God who executes vengeance for me, Who brings down peoples under me, 49 Who brings me forth from my enemies: Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me; You deliver me from the violent man. 50 Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, Will sing praises to your name. 51 Great deliverance gives he to his king, Shows loving kindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, forevermore.

David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

2 Samuel 22:1

and he said, Yahweh is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

2 Samuel 22:2

God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My savior, you save me from violence.

2 Samuel 22:3

I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.

2 Samuel 22:4

For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:

2 Samuel 22:5

The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came on me.

2 Samuel 22:6

In my distress I called on Yahweh; Yes, I called to my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, My cry [came] into his ears.

2 Samuel 22:7

Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked Were shaken, because he was angry.

2 Samuel 22:8

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, Fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.

2 Samuel 22:9

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; Thick darkness was under his feet.

2 Samuel 22:10

He rode on a cherub, and did fly; Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

2 Samuel 22:11

He made darkness pavilions round about him, Gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

2 Samuel 22:12

At the brightness before him Coals of fire were kindled.

2 Samuel 22:13

Yahweh thundered from heaven, The Most High uttered his voice.

2 Samuel 22:14

He sent out arrows, and scattered them; Lightning, and confused them.

2 Samuel 22:15

Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

2 Samuel 22:16

He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters;

2 Samuel 22:17

He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

2 Samuel 22:18

They came on me in the day of my calamity; But Yahweh was my stay.

2 Samuel 22:19

He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

2 Samuel 22:20

Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

2 Samuel 22:21

For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

2 Samuel 22:22

For all his ordinances were before me; As for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

2 Samuel 22:23

I was also perfect toward him; I kept myself from my iniquity.

2 Samuel 22:24

Therefore has Yahweh recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

2 Samuel 22:25

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect;

2 Samuel 22:26

With the pure you will show yourself pure; With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

2 Samuel 22:27

The afflicted people you will save; But your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.

2 Samuel 22:28

For you are my lamp, Yahweh; Yahweh will lighten my darkness.

2 Samuel 22:29

For by you I run on a troop; By my God do I leap over a wall.

2 Samuel 22:30

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Yahweh is tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

2 Samuel 22:31

For who is God, save Yahweh? Who is a rock, save our God?

2 Samuel 22:32

God is my strong fortress; He guides the perfect in his way.

2 Samuel 22:33

He makes his feet like hinds' [feet], Sets me on my high places.

2 Samuel 22:34

He teaches my hands to war, So that my arms do bend a bow of brass.

2 Samuel 22:35

You have also given me the shield of your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.

2 Samuel 22:36

You have enlarged my steps under me; My feet have not slipped.

2 Samuel 22:37

I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again until they were consumed.

2 Samuel 22:38

I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can't arise: Yes, they are fallen under my feet.

2 Samuel 22:39

For you have girded me with strength to the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

2 Samuel 22:40

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, That I might cut off those who hate me.

2 Samuel 22:41

They looked, but there was none to save; Even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them.

2 Samuel 22:42

Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

2 Samuel 22:43

You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

2 Samuel 22:44

The foreigners shall submit themselves to me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

2 Samuel 22:45

The foreigners shall fade away, Shall come trembling out of their close places.

2 Samuel 22:46

Yahweh lives; Blessed be my rock; Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

2 Samuel 22:47

Even the God who executes vengeance for me, Who brings down peoples under me,

2 Samuel 22:48

Who brings me forth from my enemies: Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me; You deliver me from the violent man.

2 Samuel 22:49

Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, Will sing praises to your name.

2 Samuel 22:50

Great deliverance gives he to his king, Shows loving kindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, forevermore.
