2 Samuel 22:7-27

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

7 I called on the LORD in my distress. I called to my God for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help reached his ears.

8 Then the earth shook and quaked. Even the foundations of the heavens trembled. They shook violently because he was angry.

9 Smoke went up from his nostrils, and a raging fire came out of his mouth. Glowing coals flared up from it.

10 He spread apart the heavens and came down with a dark cloud under his feet.

11 He rode on one of the angels as he flew, and he soared on the wings of the wind.

12 He surrounded himself with darkness. He made the dark rain clouds his covering.

13 Out of the brightness in front of him, he made lightning.

14 The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High made his voice heard.

15 He shot arrows and scattered them. He flashed streaks of lightning and threw them into confusion.

16 Then the ocean floor could be seen. The foundations of the earth were laid bare at the LORD's stern warning, at the blast of the breath from his nostrils.

17 He reached down from high above and took hold of me. He pulled me out of the raging water.

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

19 On the day when I faced disaster, they confronted me, but the LORD became my defense.

20 He brought me out to a wide-open place. He rescued me because he was pleased with me.

21 The LORD rewarded me because of my righteousness, because my hands are clean. He paid me back

22 because I have kept the ways of the LORD and I have not wickedly turned away from my God,

23 because all his judgments are in front of me and I have not turned away from his laws.

24 I was innocent as far as he was concerned. I have kept myself from guilt.

25 The LORD paid me back because of my righteousness, because he can see that I am clean.

26 [In dealing] with faithful people you are faithful, with innocent warriors you are innocent,

27 with pure people you are pure. [In dealing] with devious people you are clever.

New International Version NIV

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.
