2 Samuel 22

1 Then David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day when the Lord had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2 “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; 3 My Savior, You save me from violence. 4 So shall I be saved from my enemies. 5 The floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 6 The snares of death confronted me. 7 And my cry entered His ears. 8 Because He was angry. 9 Coals were kindled by it. 10 With darkness under His feet. 11 And He was seen upon the wings of the wind. 12 Dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 13 Coals of fire were kindled. 14 And the Most High uttered His voice. 15 Lightning bolts, and He vanquished them. 16 At the blast of the breath of His nostrils. 17 He drew me out of many waters. 18 For they were too strong for me. 19 But the Lord was my support. 20 He delivered me because He delighted in me. 21 He has recompensed me. 22 And have not wickedly departed from my God. 23 And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them. 24 And I kept myself from my iniquity. 25 According to my cleanness in His eyes. 26 With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; 27 And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. 28 But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down. 29 The Lord shall enlighten my darkness. 30 By my God I can leap over a wall. 31 He is a shield to all who trust in Him. 32 And who is a rock, except our God? 33 And He makes my way perfect. 34 And sets me on my high places. 35 So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 Your gentleness has made me great. 37 So my feet did not slip. 38 Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed. 39 They have fallen under my feet. 40 You have subdued under me those who rose against me. 41 So that I destroyed those who hated me. 42 Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them. 43 And I spread them out. 44 A people I have not known shall serve me. 45 As soon as they hear, they obey me. 46 And come frightened from their hideouts. 47 The Rock of my salvation! 48 And subdues the peoples under me; 49 You have delivered me from the violent man. 50 And sing praises to Your name. 51 To David and his descendants forevermore.”
