2 Samuel 22 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul.
2 He sang: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
3 my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. He is my refuge, my savior, the one who saves me from violence.
4 I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.
5 "The waves of death overwhelmed me; floods of destruction swept over me.
6 The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path.
7 But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I cried to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears.
8 "Then the earth quaked and trembled. The foundations of the heavens shook; they quaked because of his anger.
9 Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him.
10 He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.
11 Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.
12 He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds.
13 A great brightness shone around him, and burning coals blazed forth.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot arrows and scattered his enemies; his lightning flashed, and they were confused.
16 Then at the command of the LORD, at the blast of his breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.
17 "He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters.
18 He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me.
19 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the LORD supported me.
20 He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.
21 The LORD rewarded me for doing right; he restored me because of my innocence.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not turned from my God to follow evil.
23 I have followed all his regulations; I have never abandoned his decrees.
24 I am blameless before God; I have kept myself from sin.
25 The LORD rewarded me for doing right. He has seen my innocence.
26 "To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity.
27 To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the wicked you show yourself hostile.
28 You rescue the humble, but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them.
29 O LORD, you are my lamp. The LORD lights up my darkness.
30 In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.
31 "God's way is perfect. All the LORD's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
32 For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock?
33 God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect.
34 He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
35 He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.
36 You have given me your shield of victory; your help has made me great.
37 You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.
38 "I chased my enemies and destroyed them; I did not stop until they were conquered.
39 I consumed them; I struck them down so they did not get up; they fell beneath my feet.
40 You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet.
41 You placed my foot on their necks. I have destroyed all who hated me.
42 They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the LORD, but he refused to answer.
43 I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trampled them in the gutter like dirt.
44 "You gave me victory over my accusers. You preserved me as the ruler over nations; people I don't even know now serve me.
45 Foreign nations cringe before me; as soon as they hear of me, they submit.
46 They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds.
47 "The LORD lives! Praise to my Rock! May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted!
48 He is the God who pays back those who harm me; he brings down the nations under me
49 and delivers me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents.
50 For this, O LORD, I will praise you among the nations; I will sing praises to your name.
51 You give great victories to your king; you show unfailing love to your anointed, to David and all his descendants forever."
1 And David H1732 spoke H1696 unto the LORD H3068 H853 the words H1697 of this H2063 song H7892 in the day H3117 that the LORD H3068 had delivered H5337 him out of the hand H4480 H3709 of all H3605 his enemies, H341 and out of the hand H4480 H3709 of Saul: H7586
2 And he said, H559 The LORD H3068 is my rock, H5553 and my fortress, H4686 and my deliverer; H6403
3 The God H430 of my rock; H6697 in him will I trust: H2620 he is my shield, H4043 and the horn H7161 of my salvation, H3468 my high tower, H4869 and my refuge, H4498 my savior; H3467 thou savest H3467 me from violence H4480 H2555 .
4 I will call on H7121 the LORD, H3068 who is worthy to be praised: H1984 so shall I be saved H3467 from mine enemies H4480 H341 .
5 When H3588 the waves H4867 of death H4194 compassed H661 me , the floods H5158 of ungodly H1100 men made me afraid; H1204
6 The sorrows H2256 of hell H7585 compassed me about; H5437 the snares H4170 of death H4194 prevented H6923 me;
7 In my distress H6862 I called upon H7121 the LORD, H3068 and cried H7121 to H413 my God: H430 and he did hear H8085 my voice H6963 out of his temple H4480 H1964 , and my cry H7775 did enter into his ears. H241
8 Then the earth H776 shook H1607 and trembled; H7493 the foundations H4146 of heaven H8064 moved H7264 and shook, H1607 because H3588 he was wroth. H2734
9 There went up H5927 a smoke H6227 out of his nostrils, H639 and fire H784 out of his mouth H4480 H6310 devoured: H398 coals H1513 were kindled H1197 by H4480 it.
10 He bowed H5186 the heavens H8064 also , and came down; H3381 and darkness H6205 was under H8478 his feet. H7272
11 And he rode H7392 upon H5921 a cherub, H3742 and did fly: H5774 and he was seen H7200 upon H5921 the wings H3671 of the wind. H7307
12 And he made H7896 darkness H2822 pavilions H5521 round about H5439 him, dark H2841 waters, H4325 and thick clouds H5645 of the skies. H7834
13 Through the brightness H4480 H5051 before H5048 him were coals H1513 of fire H784 kindled. H1197
14 The LORD H3068 thundered H7481 from H4480 heaven, H8064 and the most High H5945 uttered H5414 his voice. H6963
15 And he sent out H7971 arrows, H2671 and scattered H6327 them; lightning, H1300 and discomfited H2000 them.
16 And the channels H650 of the sea H3220 appeared, H7200 the foundations H4146 of the world H8398 were discovered, H1540 at the rebuking H1606 of the LORD, H3068 at the blast H4480 H5397 of the breath H7307 of his nostrils. H639
17 He sent H7971 from above H4480 , H4791 he took H3947 me ; he drew H4871 me out of many waters H4480 H4325; H7227
18 He delivered H5337 me from my strong enemy H4480 H341, H5794 and from them that hated H4480 H8130 me: for H3588 they were too strong H553 for H4480 me.
19 They prevented H6923 me in the day H3117 of my calamity: H343 but the LORD H3068 was H1961 my stay. H4937
20 He brought me forth H3318 also into a large place H4800 H853 : he delivered H2502 me, because H3588 he delighted H2654 in me.
21 The LORD H3068 rewarded H1580 me according to my righteousness: H6666 according to the cleanness H1252 of my hands H3027 hath he recompensed H7725 me.
22 For H3588 I have kept H8104 the ways H1870 of the LORD, H3068 and have not H3808 wickedly H7561 departed from my God H4480 H430 .
23 For H3588 all H3605 his judgments H4941 were before H5048 me : and as for his statutes, H2708 I did not H3808 depart H5493 from H4480 them.
24 I was H1961 also upright H8549 before him and have kept myself H8104 from mine iniquity H4480 H5771 .
25 Therefore the LORD H3068 hath recompensed H7725 me according to my righteousness; H6666 according to my cleanness H1252 in H5048 his eye sight. H5869
26 With H5973 the merciful H2623 thou wilt show thyself merciful, H2616 and with H5973 the upright H8549 man H1368 thou wilt show thyself upright. H8552
27 With H5973 the pure H2889 thou wilt show thyself pure; H1305 and with H5973 the froward H6141 thou wilt show thyself unsavory. H6617
28 And the afflicted H6041 people H5971 thou wilt save: H3467 but thine eyes H5869 are upon H5921 the haughty, H7311 that thou mayest bring them down. H8213
29 For H3588 thou H859 art my lamp, H5216 O LORD: H3068 and the LORD H3068 will lighten H5050 my darkness. H2822
30 For H3588 by thee I have run H7323 through a troop: H1416 by my God H430 have I leaped H1801 over a wall. H7791
31 As for God, H410 his way H1870 is perfect; H8549 the word H565 of the LORD H3068 is tried: H6884 he H1931 is a buckler H4043 to all H3605 them that trust H2620 in him.
32 For H3588 who H4310 is God, H410 save H4480 H1107 the LORD H3068 ? and who H4310 is a rock, H6697 save H4480 H1107 our God H430 ?
33 God H410 is my strength H4581 and power: H2428 and he maketh H5425 my way H1870 perfect. H8549
34 He maketh H7737 my feet H7272 like hinds' H355 feet : and setteth H5975 me upon H5921 my high places. H1116
35 He teacheth H3925 my hands H3027 to war; H4421 so that a bow H7198 of steel H5154 is broken H5181 by mine arms. H2220
36 Thou hast also given H5414 me the shield H4043 of thy salvation: H3468 and thy gentleness H6038 hath made me great. H7235
37 Thou hast enlarged H7337 my steps H6806 under H8478 me ; so that my feet H7166 did not H3808 slip. H4571
38 I have pursued H7291 mine enemies, H341 and destroyed H8045 them ; and turned not again H3808 H7725 until H5704 I had consumed H3615 them.
39 And I have consumed H3615 them , and wounded H4272 them , that they could not H3808 arise: H6965 yea , they are fallen H5307 under H8478 my feet. H7272
40 For thou hast girded H247 me with strength H2428 to battle: H4421 them that rose up H6965 against me hast thou subdued H3766 under H8478 me.
41 Thou hast also given H5414 me the necks H6203 of mine enemies, H341 that I might destroy H6789 them that hate H8130 me.
42 They looked, H8159 but there was none H369 to save; H3467 even unto H413 the LORD, H3068 but he answered H6030 them not. H3808
43 Then did I beat H7833 them as small as the dust H6083 of the earth, H776 I did stamp H1854 them as the mire H2916 of the street, H2351 and did spread them abroad. H7554
44 Thou also hast delivered H6403 me from the strivings H4480 H7379 of my people, H5971 thou hast kept H8104 me to be head H7218 of the heathen: H1471 a people H5971 which I knew H3045 not H3808 shall serve H5647 me.
45 Strangers H1121 H5236 shall submit themselves H3584 unto me : as soon as they hear H8085 H241 , they shall be obedient H8085 unto me.
46 Strangers H1121 H5236 shall fade away, H5034 and they shall be afraid H2296 out of their close places H4480 H4526 .
47 The LORD H3068 liveth; H2416 and blessed H1288 be my rock; H6697 and exalted H7311 be the God H430 of the rock H6697 of my salvation. H3468
48 It is God H410 that avengeth H5414 H5360 me , and that bringeth down H8213 the people H5971 under H8478 me,
49 And that bringeth me forth H3318 from mine enemies H4480 : H341 thou also hast lifted me up on high H7311 above them that rose up H4480 H6965 against me : thou hast delivered H5337 me from the violent man H4480 H376. H2555
50 Therefore H5921 H3651 I will give thanks H3034 unto thee , O LORD, H3068 among the heathen, H1471 and I will sing praises H2167 unto thy name. H8034
51 He is the tower H4024 of salvation H3444 for his king: H4428 and showeth H6213 mercy H2617 to his anointed, H4899 unto David, H1732 and to his seed H2233 forevermore H5704 H5769 .
