II Samuel 22 (kjv)

22

And DavidH1732 spakeH1696 unto the LORDH3068 the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 had deliveredH5337 him out of the handH3709 of all his enemiesH341, and out of the handH3709 of SaulH7586:2And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 is my rockH5553, and my fortressH4686, and my delivererH6403;3The GodH430 of my rockH6697; in him will I trustH2620: he is my shieldH4043, and the hornH7161 of my salvationH3468, my high towerH4869, and my refugeH4498, my saviourH3467; thou savestH3467 me from violenceH2555.4I will callH7121 on the LORDH3068, who is worthy to be praisedH1984: so shall I be savedH3467 from mine enemiesH341.5When the wavesH4867 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, the floodsH5158 of ungodly menH1100 made me afraidH1204;6The sorrowsH2256 of hellH7585 compassed me aboutH5437; the snaresH4170 of deathH4194 preventedH6923 me;7In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068, and criedH7121 to my GodH430: and he did hearH8085 my voiceH6963 out of his templeH1964, and my cryH7775 did enter into his earsH241.8Then the earthH776 shookH1607 H1607 and trembledH7493; the foundationsH4146 of heavenH8064 movedH7264 and shookH1607, because he was wrothH2734.9There went upH5927 a smokeH6227 out of his nostrilsH639, and fireH784 out of his mouthH6310 devouredH398: coalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it.10He bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 also, and came downH3381; and darknessH6205 was under his feetH7272.11And he rodeH7392 upon a cherubH3742, and did flyH5774: and he was seenH7200 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.12And he madeH7896 darknessH2822 pavilionsH5521 round aboutH5439 him, darkH2841 watersH4325, and thick cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834.13Through the brightnessH5051 before him were coalsH1513 of fireH784 kindledH1197.14The LORDH3068 thunderedH7481 from heavenH8064, and the most HighH5945 utteredH5414 his voiceH6963.15And he sent outH7971 arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327 them; lightningH1300, and discomfitedH2000 them.16And the channelsH650 of the seaH3220 appearedH7200, the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were discoveredH1540, at the rebukingH1606 of the LORDH3068, at the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639.17He sentH7971 from aboveH4791, he tookH3947 me; he drewH4871 me out of manyH7227 watersH4325;18He deliveredH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH341, and from them that hatedH8130 me: for they were too strongH553 for me.19They preventedH6923 me in the dayH3117 of my calamityH343: but the LORDH3068 was my stayH4937.20He brought me forthH3318 also into a large placeH4800: he deliveredH2502 me, because he delightedH2654 in me.21The LORDH3068 rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6666: according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 me.22For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561 from my GodH430.23For all his judgmentsH4941 were before me: and as for his statutesH2708, I did not departH5493 from them.24I was also uprightH8549 before him, and have keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771.25Therefore the LORDH3068 hath recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6666; according to my cleannessH1252 in his eye sightH5048 H5869.26With the mercifulH2623 thou wilt shew thyself mercifulH2616, and with the uprightH8549 manH1368 thou wilt shew thyself uprightH8552.27With the pureH1305 thou wilt shew thyself pureH1305; and with the frowardH6141 thou wilt shew thyself unsavouryH6617.28And the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971 thou wilt saveH3467: but thine eyesH5869 are upon the haughtyH7311, that thou mayest bring them downH8213.29For thou art my lampH5216, O LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 will lightenH5050 my darknessH2822.30For by thee I have runH7323 through a troopH1416: by my GodH430 have I leaped overH1801 a wallH7791.31As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549; the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 is triedH6884: he is a bucklerH4043 to all them that trustH2620 in him.32For who is GodH410, saveH1107 the LORDH3068? and who is a rockH6697, saveH1107 our GodH430?33GodH410 is my strengthH4581 and powerH2428: and he makethH5425 my wayH1870 perfectH8549.34He makethH7737 my feetH7272 likeH7737 hindsH355' feet: and settethH5975 me upon my high placesH1116.35He teachethH3925 my handsH3027 to warH4421; so that a bowH7198 of steelH5154 is brokenH5181 by mine armsH2220.36Thou hast also givenH5414 me the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468: and thy gentlenessH6031 H6038 hath made me greatH7235.37Thou hast enlargedH7337 my stepsH6806 under me; so that my feetH7166 did not slipH4571.38I have pursuedH7291 mine enemiesH341, and destroyedH8045 them; and turned not againH7725 until I had consumedH3615 them.39And I have consumedH3615 them, and woundedH4272 them, that they could not ariseH6965: yea, they are fallenH5307 under my feetH7272.40For thou hast girdedH247 me with strengthH2428 to battleH4421: them that rose upH6965 against me hast thou subduedH3766 under me.41Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341, that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.42They lookedH8159, but there was none to saveH3467; even unto the LORDH3068, but he answeredH6030 them not.43Then did I beatH7833 them as small as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, I did stampH1854 them as the mireH2916 of the streetH2351, and did spread them abroadH7554.44Thou also hast deliveredH6403 me from the strivingsH7379 of my peopleH5971, thou hast keptH8104 me to be headH7218 of the heathenH1471: a peopleH5971 which I knewH3045 not shall serveH5647 me.45StrangersH1121 H5236 shall submitH3584 themselves unto me: as soon as they hearH8085 H241, they shall be obedientH8085 unto me.46StrangersH1121 H5236 shall fade awayH5034, and they shall be afraidH2296 out of their close placesH4526.47The LORDH3068 livethH2416; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; and exaltedH7311 be the GodH430 of the rockH6697 of my salvationH3468.48It is GodH410 that avengethH5414 H5360 me, and that bringeth downH3381 the peopleH5971 under me,49And that bringeth me forthH3318 from mine enemiesH341: thou also hast lifted me up on highH7311 above them that rose upH6965 against me: thou hast deliveredH5337 me from the violentH2555 manH376.50Therefore I will give thanksH3034 unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the heathenH1471, and I will sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034.51He is the towerH4024 H1431 of salvationH3444 for his kingH4428: and shewethH6213 mercyH2617 to his anointedH4899, unto DavidH1732, and to his seedH2233 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
