2 Samuel 22

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And David made a song to the Lord in these words, on the day when the Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul:

2 And he said, The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour, even mine;

3 My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.

4 I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.

5 For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear;

6 The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.

7 In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears.

8 Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

9 There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.

10 The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.

11 And he went through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.

12 And he made the dark his tent round him, a mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

13 Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire.

14 The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out.

15 And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

16 Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord's wrath, because of the breath of his mouth.

17 He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.

18 He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

19 They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support.

20 He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.

21 The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.

22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.

23 For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.

24 And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.

25 Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.

26 On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

27 He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

28 For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but your eyes are on men of pride, to make them low.

29 For you are my light, O Lord; and the Lord will make the dark bright for me.

30 By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

31 As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him.

32 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a Rock but our God?

33 God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.

34 He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.

35 He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.

36 You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.

37 You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip.

38 I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.

39 I have sent destruction on them and given them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.

40 For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me.

41 By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.

42 They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.

43 Then they were crushed as small as the dust of the earth, stamped down under my feet like the waste of the streets.

44 You have made me free from the fightings of my people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

45 Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.

46 They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

47 The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured:

48 It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

49 He makes me free from my haters: I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

50 Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.

51 Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 2 And Dovid spoke unto Hashem the devarim of this shirah (song) in the day that Hashem had delivered him out of the palm of all his oyevim (enemies) and out of the palm of Sha’ul:

2 And he said, Hashem is my rock, and my matzadah, and my deliverer;

3 The Elohei (G-d of) my Tzur; in Him will I trust; He is my mogen, and the keren of my Salvation, my stronghold, and my refuge, my Moshia; Thou savest me from chamas.

4 I will call on Hashem, Who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my oyevim.

5 When the waves of mavet (death) compassed me, the floods of scoundrels overwhelm me;

6 The chevlei Sheol (cords of Sheol) encompassed me; the snares of mavet confronted me;

7 In my distress I called upon Hashem, and cried to Elohai; and He did hear my voice out of His Heikhal, and my cry did enter into His oznayim.

8 Then ha’aretz shook and trembled; the mosedot (foundations) of Shomayim moved and shook, because He was in wrath.

9 There went up an ashan (smoke) out of His nostrils, and eish out of His peh (mouth) devoured; coals were kindled by it.

10 He bowed HaShomayim also, and came down; and a dark cloud was under His raglayim.

11 And He rode upon a keruv, and did fly; and He was seen upon the wings of the ruach.

12 And He made choshech sukkot round about Him, dark mayim, and thick clouds of the skies.

13 Through the radiant brightness before Him were coals of eish kindled.

14 Hashem thundered from Shomayim, and Elyon uttered His voice.

15 He sent out khitzim, and scattered them; lightning, and vanquished them.

16 And the channels of the yam appeared, the mosedot (foundations) of the tevel (world) were uncovered, at the rebuking of Hashem, at the blast of the ruach of His nostrils.

17 He sent from on High, He took me; He drew me out of mayim rabbim;

18 He delivered me from my strong oyev, and from them that hated me; for they were too strong for me.

19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but Hashem was my support.

20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because chafetz (He delighted) in me.

21 Hashem rewarded me according to my tzedakah; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.

22 For I have been shomer over the drakhei Hashem, and have not wickedly departed from Elohai [see Ac 21:21].

23 For all His mishpatim were before me; as for His chukkot, I did not depart from them.

24 I was also tamim (blameless) before Him, and have kept myself from mine avon (iniquity).

25 Therefore Hashem hath rewarded me according to my tzedakah; according to my cleanness before His eyesight.

26 With the chasid (loyal, the one having chesed, the devout one) Thou wilt show Thyself loyal, and with the Gibbor tamim (blameless man) Thou wilt show Thyself blameless.

27 With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure; and with the ikkesh (crooked, devious) Thou wilt show Thyself shrewd.

28 And the Am oni (afflicted people) Thou wilt save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest bring them down.

29 For Thou art my ner (lamp), Hashem; and Hashem will lighten my choshech.

30 For by Thee I have run through a troop; by Elohai can I leap over a wall.

31 As for G-d, His derech is tamim; the Word of Hashem is proven; He is a mogen (shield) to all them that trust in Him.

32 For who is G-d, save Hashem? And who is Tzur, save Eloheinu?

33 G-d is my ma’oz and power; and He maketh my derech perfect.

34 He maketh my feet like the feet of ayyalot (deer); and maketh me stand upon my high places.

35 He teacheth my yadayim for milchamah; so that a keshet nechoshah is bent by mine arms.

36 Thou hast also given me the mogen of Thy Salvation; and hath stooped down to make me great.

37 Thou hast enlarged my stride under me; so that my karsulayim do not slip.

38 I have pursued mine oyevim, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise; indeed, they are fallen under my raglayim.

40 For Thou hast girded me with chayil (strength) for milchamah (battle); them that rose up against me hast Thou caused to bow down under me.

41 Thou hast also given me victory over the necks of mine oyevim, that I might destroy them that hate me.

42 They looked, but there was no moshia; even unto Hashem, but He answered them not.

43 Then did I beat them as small as the aphar of eretz, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did scatter them abroad.

44 Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people, Thou hast kept me to be Rosh of the Goyim; a people which I knew not shall serve me [Mt 28:19].

45 Foreigners shall submit themselves unto me; as soon as they hear, they shall be mishma’at (obedient) unto me.

46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their misgerot (strongholds).

47 Hashem liveth; and baruch be my Tzur; and exalted be the Elohei Tzur of my Salvation.

48 It is G-d that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the nations under me.

49 And that bringeth me forth from mine oyevim; Thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me; Thou hast delivered me from the ish chamasim.

50 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, Hashem, among the Goyim, and I will sing praises unto Shimecha (Thy Name).

51 He is the migdal Yeshu’ot for His melech; and showeth chesed to His Moshiach, unto Dovid, and to his zera ad-olam.
