2Sa
22:1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day
that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies,
and out of the hand of Saul:
2Sa
22:2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my
deliverer;
2Sa
22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and
the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou
savest me from violence.
2Sa
22:4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies.
2Sa
22:5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made
me afraid;
2Sa
22:6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death
prevented me;
2Sa
22:7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he
did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his
ears.
2Sa
22:8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved
and shook, because he was wroth.
2Sa
22:9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth
devoured: coals were kindled by it.
2Sa
22:10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was
under his feet.
2Sa
22:11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the
wings of the wind.
2Sa
22:12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and
thick clouds of the skies.
2Sa
22:13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
2Sa
22:14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his
voice.
2Sa
22:15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and
discomfited them.
2Sa
22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world
were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath
of his nostrils.
2Sa
22:17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
2Sa
22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that
hated me: for they were too strong for me.
2Sa
22:19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my
stay.
2Sa
22:20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.
2Sa
22:21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to
the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
2Sa
22:22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
2Sa
22:23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his
statutes, I did not depart from them.
2Sa
22:24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine
iniquity.
2Sa
22:25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my
righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
2Sa
22:26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with
the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
2Sa
22:27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward
thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
2Sa
22:28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are
upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
2Sa
22:29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my
darkness.
2Sa
22:30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped
over a wall.
2Sa
22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD
is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
2Sa
22:32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock,
save our God?
2Sa
22:33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way
perfect.
2Sa
22:34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my
high places.
2Sa
22:35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by
mine arms.
2Sa
22:36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
gentleness hath made me great.
2Sa
22:37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
2Sa
22:38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not
again until I had consumed them.
2Sa
22:39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not
arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
2Sa
22:40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up
against me hast thou subdued under me.
2Sa
22:41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might
destroy them that hate me.
2Sa
22:42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto
the LORD, but he answered them not.
2Sa
22:43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp
them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
2Sa
22:44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou
hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I
knew not shall serve me.
2Sa
22:45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear,
they shall be obedient unto me.
2Sa
22:46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their
close places.
2Sa
22:47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the
God of the rock of my salvation.
2Sa
22:48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the
people under me,
2Sa
22:49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted
me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me
from the violent man.
2Sa
22:50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen,
and I will sing praises unto thy name.
2Sa
22:51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy
to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

Psa
18:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the
LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that
the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand
of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Psa
18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my
salvation, and my high tower.
Psa
18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psa
18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men
made me afraid.
Psa
18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death
prevented me.
Psa
18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he
heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even
into his ears.
Psa
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills
moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
Psa
18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth
devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Psa
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was
under his feet.
Psa
18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the
wings of the wind.
Psa
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him
were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
Psa
18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds
passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
Psa
18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his
voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
Psa
18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out
lightnings, and discomfited them.
Psa
18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the
world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of
thy nostrils.
Psa
18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
Psa
18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me:
for they were too strong for me.
Psa
18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my
stay.
Psa
18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.
Psa
18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to
the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Psa
18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
Psa
18:22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me.
Psa
18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.
Psa
18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Psa
18:25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright
man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
Psa
18:26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward
thou wilt shew thyself froward.
Psa
18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high
looks.
Psa
18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my
darkness.
Psa
18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped
over a wall.
Psa
18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD
is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Psa
18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save
our God?
Psa
18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way
perfect.
Psa
18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my
high places.
Psa
18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by
mine arms.
Psa
18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right
hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Psa
18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
Psa
18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn
again till they were consumed.
Psa
18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are
fallen under my feet.
Psa
18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast
subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Psa
18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might
destroy them that hate me.
Psa
18:41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even
unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
Psa
18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast
them out as the dirt in the streets.
Psa
18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not
known shall serve me.
Psa
18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall
submit themselves unto me.
Psa
18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close
places.
Psa
18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of
my salvation be exalted.
Psa
18:47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under
me.
Psa
18:48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above
those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent
man.
Psa
18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen,
and sing praises unto thy name.
Psa
18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his
anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. |
