2 Samuel 22

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Then David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song, on the day Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

2 And he said: "Yahweh [is] my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.

3 I take refuge in God, my rock, my shield, and the {strength} of my salvation. My stronghold and my refuge, O my savior, you will save me from violence!

4 I call [upon] Yahweh who is praiseworthy, and I [am] saved from those who hate me.

5 For the breaker waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.

6 The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

7 In my distress I called [upon] Yahweh, and to my God I called. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help [was] to his ears.

8 The earth heaved and shook, the foundations of heaven trembled and heaved because {he was angry}.

9 Smoke went up from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. Burning coals devoured, they burned from him.

10 He bowed the heavens and came down; a very thick cloud [was] under his feet.

11 He rode upon a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.

12 He put darkness [as] a canopy all around him, a collection of {thick rain clouds}.

13 From the brightness before him flamed burning coals of fire.

14 Yahweh thundered from heaven, and the Most High {uttered his voice}.

15 He sent arrows and he scattered them, lightning, and he directed them.

16 Then the channels of water of the sea were exposed, the foundations of the world, at the rebuke of Yawheh, from the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

17 He sent from a high position [and] took me; he drew me from mighty waters.

18 He delivered me from my strong enemies, from those who hate me, for they [were] mightier than I.

19 They approached me on the day of my disaster, but Yahweh [was] my support.

20 He brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.

21 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.

22 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh; I have not acted wickedly against my God.

23 For all of his ordinances [were] before me, and I did not turn aside from his statutes.

24 I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

25 Yahweh has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before his eyes.

26 With the loyal, you act as loyal, and with the blameless, you show yourself blameless.

27 With the pure, you show yourself pure, but with the crooked, you appear as a fool.

28 Humble people you will deliver, but your eyes [are] on the haughty, [whom] you bring down.

29 For you, O Yahweh [are] my lamp, and Yahweh lightens my darkness.

30 For by you I can run a raid; by my God I can leap over a wall.

31 This God, his way [is] blameless; the promise of Yahweh [is] flawless. He [is] a shield to all who take refuge in him.

32 For who [is] God apart from Yahweh? And who [is] a rock apart from our God?

33 God [is] my strong refuge, he has fully opened my way.

34 He makes my feet like a doe deer, and on my high places he has set me.

35 He trains my hands for the war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 You have given me the shield of your salvation; your willingness to help has made me great.

37 You have broadened my steps beneath me; my ankles have not wobbled.

38 I pursued those who hate me, and I destroyed them. I did not turn back until finishing them.

39 I wiped them out and I smashed them; they did not get up; they fell under my feet.

40 You have girded me with physical strength for the battle; you caused those who rose up against me to kneel under me.

41 {My enemies you cause to retreat from me}; I destroy those who hate me.

42 They looked out, but there was no deliverer, [even] to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

43 I beat them fine, like the dust of the earth; like the mire of the streets, I crushed them, I stamped them down.

44 You delivered me from the strife of my people; you preserved me as the head of the nations. A people I had not known served me.

45 Children of a foreign land came cringing to me; {when they heard of me}, they became obedient to me.

46 Children of a foreign land lost heart and came trembling from their strongholds.

47 Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! May God, the rock of my salvation, be exalted!

48 God does vengeance for me, bringing down peoples under me.

49 He brings me out from my enemies, and from those who rose up against me you lift me up, and from men of violence you rescue me.

50 Therefore I will extol you, Yahweh, among the nations! I will sing praises to your name!

51 He makes great salvation [for] his king and shows loyal love to his anointed one, David and to his descendants forever."

New International Version NIV

1 David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

2 He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent people you save me.

4 “I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.

5 The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

6 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.

7 “In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.

8 The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens shook; they trembled because he was angry.

9 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.

10 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

11 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

12 He made darkness his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.

13 Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth.

14 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

15 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

16 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.

17 “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.

18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.

19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.

20 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

21 “The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God.

23 All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.

24 I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.

25 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.

26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

27 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

28 You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.

29 You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light.

30 With your help I can advance against a troop ; with my God I can scale a wall.

31 “As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

33 It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.

35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 You make your saving help my shield; your help has made me great.

37 You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

39 I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

40 You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.

41 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.

42 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but he did not answer.

43 I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.

44 “You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples; you have preserved me as the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,

45 foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

46 They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.

47 “The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!

48 He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me,

49 who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.

50 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.

51 “He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
