2 Samuel 22

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 And David speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,

2 and he saith: `Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,

3 My God [is] my rock -- I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!

4 The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.

5 When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,

6 The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death.

7 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears,

8 And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!

9 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.

10 And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.

11 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.

12 And He setteth darkness Round about Him -- tabernacles, Darkness of waters -- thick clouds of the skies.

13 From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!

14 Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.

15 And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;

16 And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.

17 He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

18 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.

19 They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,

20 And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.

21 Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

23 For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.

24 And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

25 And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.

26 With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,

27 With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.

28 And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.

29 For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.

30 For by Thee I run -- a troop, By my God I leap a wall.

31 God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.

32 For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?

33 God -- my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;

34 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,

35 Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,

36 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

37 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

38 I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed.

39 And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.

40 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.

41 And mine enemies -- Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me -- and I cut them off.

42 They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.

43 And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small -- I spread them out!

44 And -- Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me.

45 Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.

46 Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.

47 Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God -- The Rock of my salvation.

48 God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,

49 And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.

50 Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.

51 Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!'

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 David spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued 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, my mountain where I seek refuge. My shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.

4 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.

5 For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of destruction terrified me.

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

7 I called to the Lord in my distress; I called to my God. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help [reached] His ears.

8 Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they shook because He burned with anger.

9 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire [came] from His mouth; coals were set ablaze by it.

10 He parted the heavens and came down, a dark cloud beneath His feet.

11 He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.

12 He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.

13 From the radiance of His presence, flaming coals were ignited.

14 The Lord thundered from heaven; the Most High projected His voice.

15 He shot arrows and scattered them; [He hurled] lightning bolts and routed them.

16 The depths of the sea became visible, the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

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

18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.

19 They confronted me in the day of my distress, but the Lord was my support.

20 He brought me out to a wide-open place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

21 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; He repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.

22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not turned from my God to wickedness.

23 Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.

24 I was blameless before Him and kept myself from sinning.

25 So the Lord repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.

26 With the faithful You prove Yourself faithful; with the blameless man You prove Yourself blameless;

27 with the pure You prove Yourself pure, but with the crooked You prove Yourself shrewd.

28 You rescue an afflicted people, but Your eyes are set against the proud- You humble them.

29 Lord, You are my lamp; the Lord illuminates my darkness.

30 With You I can attack a barrier, and with my God I can leap over a wall.

31 God-His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

32 For who is God besides the Lord? And who is a rock? Only our God.

33 God is my strong refuge; He makes my way perfect.

34 He makes my feet like [the feet of] a deer and sets me securely on the heights.

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

36 You have given me the shield of Your salvation; Your help exalts me.

37 You widen [a place] beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way.

38 I pursue my enemies and destroy them; I do not turn back until they are wiped out.

39 I wipe them out and crush them, and they do not rise; they fall beneath my feet.

40 You have clothed me with strength for battle; You subdue my adversaries beneath me.

41 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hated me.

42 They look, but there is no one to save [them]- [they look] to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

43 I pulverize them like dust of the earth; I crush them and trample them like mud in the streets.

44 You have freed me from the feuds among my people; You have appointed me the head of nations; a people I had not known serve me.

45 Foreigners submit to me grudgingly; as soon as they hear, they obey me.

46 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their fortifications.

47 The Lord lives-may my rock be praised! God, the rock of my salvation, is exalted.

48 God-He gives me vengeance and casts down peoples under me.

49 He frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my adversaries; You rescue me from violent men.

50 Therefore I will praise You, Lord, among the nations; I will sing about Your name.

51 He is a tower of salvation for His king; He shows loyalty to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
