2 Samuel — Capítulo 22

KJVAnd 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:

KJVAnd he said, The LORD {is} my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

KJVThe 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.

KJVI will call on the LORD, {who is} worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

KJVWhen the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; {waves: or, pangs} {ungodly...: Heb. Belial}

KJVThe sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; {sorrows: or, cords}

KJVIn 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.

KJVThen the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

KJVThere went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by, etc}

KJVHe bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness {was} under his feet.

KJVAnd he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

KJVAnd he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, {and} thick clouds of the skies. {dark...: Heb. binding of waters}

KJVThrough the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

KJVThe LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

KJVAnd he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

KJVAnd 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.

KJVHe sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; {many: or, great}

KJVHe delivered me from my strong enemy, {and} from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

KJVThey prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

KJVHe brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

KJVThe LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

KJVFor I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

KJVFor all his judgments {were} before me: and {as for} his statutes, I did not depart from them.

KJVI was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity. {before: Heb. to}

KJVTherefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. {in...: Heb. before his eyes}

KJVWith the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, {and} with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

KJVWith the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. {shew thyself unsavoury: or, wrestle}

KJVAnd the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes {are} upon the haughty, {that} thou mayest bring {them} down.

KJVFor thou {art} my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. {lamp: or, candle}

KJVFor by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. {run: or, broken}

KJV{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. {tried: or, refined}

KJVFor who {is} God, save the LORD? and who {is} a rock, save our God?

KJVGod {is} my strength {and} power: and he maketh my way perfect. {maketh: Heb. riddeth, or, looseth}

KJVHe maketh my feet like hinds' {feet}: and setteth me upon my high places. {maketh: Heb. equalleth}

KJVHe teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. {to war: Heb. for the war}

KJVThou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. {made...: Heb. multiplied me}

KJVThou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip. {feet: Heb. ankles}

KJVI have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

KJVAnd I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

KJVFor thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me. {subdued: Heb. caused to bow}

KJVThou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

KJVThey looked, but {there was} none to save; {even} unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

KJVThen 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.

KJVThou 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.

KJVStrangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. {Strangers: Heb. Sons of the stranger} {submit...: or, yield feigned obedience: Heb. lie}

KJVStrangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

KJVThe LORD liveth; and blessed {be} my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

KJVIt {is} God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengement for}

KJVAnd 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.

KJVTherefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

KJV{He is} the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
