2 Samuel 22

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 David said the words of this song to ADONAI on the day ADONAI delivered him from the power of all his enemies and from the power of Sha'ul.

2 He said: "ADONAI is my Rock, my fortress and deliverer,

3 the God who is my Rock, in whom I find shelter, my shield, the power that saves me, my stronghold and my refuge. My savior, you have saved me from violence.

4 I call on ADONAI, who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies.

5 "For death's breakers were closing over me, the floods of B'liya'al terrified me,

6 the ropes of Sh'ol were wrapped around me, the snares of death lay there before me.

7 In my distress I called to ADONAI; yes, I called to my God. Out of his temple he heard my voice, and my cry entered his ears.

8 "Then the earth quaked and shook, the foundations of heaven trembled. They were shaken because he was angry.

9 Smoke arose in his nostrils; and from his mouth, devouring fire, with coals blazing from it.

10 He lowered heaven and came down with thick darkness under his feet.

11 He rode on a keruv and flew, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

12 He made darkness his canopy around him, thick clouds in the skies dense with water.

13 From the brightness before him, fiery coals flamed out.

14 "ADONAI thundered from heaven, Ha'Elyon sounded his voice.

15 He sent out arrows and scattered them; with lightning he routed them.

16 The channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were exposed at ADONAI's rebuke, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.

17 "He sent from on high, he took me and pulled me out of deep water;

18 he rescued me from my powerful enemy, from those who hated me, for they were stronger than I.

19 They came against me on my day of calamity, but ADONAI was my support.

20 "He brought me out to an open place; he rescued me, because he took pleasure in me.

21 ADONAI rewarded me for my uprightness, he repaid me because my hands were clean.

22 "For I have kept the ways of ADONAI, I have not done evil by leaving my God;

23 for all his rulings were before me, I did not depart from his regulations.

24 I was pure-hearted toward him and kept myself from my sin.

25 "Hence ADONAI repaid me for my uprightness, according to my purity in his view.

26 With the merciful, you are merciful; with the champion of purity, you are pure;

27 with the honest, you are honest; but with the crooked you are cunning.

28 People afflicted, you save; but when your eyes are on the haughty, you humble them.

29 "For you, ADONAI, are my lamp; ADONAI lights up my darkness.

30 With you I can run through a whole troop of men, with my God I can leap a wall.

31 "As for God, his way is perfect, the word of ADONAI has been tested by fire; he shields all who take refuge in him.

32 For who is God but ADONAI, and who is a Rock but our God?

33 "God is my strength and protection; he makes my way go straight.

34 He makes me swift and sure-footed as a deer and enables me to stand on my high places.

35 He trains my hands for war until my arms can bend a bow of bronze;

36 You give me your shield, which is salvation; your answers make me great.

37 You lengthen the steps I can take, yet my ankles do not turn.

38 "I pursued my enemies and wiped them out, without turning back until they were destroyed.

39 I destroyed them, crushed them; they can't get up; they have fallen under my feet.

40 "For you braced me with strength for the battle and bent down my adversaries beneath me.

41 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, so that I could destroy those who hate me.

42 "They looked, but there was no one to help, even to ADONAI, but he didn't answer.

43 I pulverized them like dust on the ground, pounded and stamped on them like mud in the streets.

44 "You also freed me from the quarrels of my people. You kept me to be the head of the nations; a people I did not know now serve me.

45 Foreigners come cringing to me; the moment they hear of me, they obey me.

46 Foreigners lose heart as they stagger from their fortresses.

47 "ADONAI is alive! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock of my salvation,

48 the God who gives me vengeance and makes peoples submit to me.

49 He brings me out from my enemies. You raise me over those who rebel against me, you rescue me from violent men.

50 "So I give thanks to you, ADONAI, among the nations; I sing praises to your name.

51 He is a tower of salvation for his king; he displays grace to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever."

King James Version KJV

1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

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

11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

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

19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

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

21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

38 I have pursued mine enemies, 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: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

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

42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,

49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
