2 Samuel 22

<< 2 Samuel 22 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

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

2 And he said The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer

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

4 I will call on the LORD who is worthy to be praised so shall I be saved from mine enemies

5 When the waves of death compassed me the floods of ungodly men made me afraid

6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about the snares of death prevented me

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

8 Then the earth shook and trembled the foundations of heaven moved and shook because he was wroth

9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured coals were kindled by it

10 He bowed the heavens also and came down and darkness was under his feet

11 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly and he was seen upon the wings of the wind

12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him dark waters and thick clouds of the skies

13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled

14 The LORD thundered from heaven and the most High uttered his voice

15 And he sent out arrows and scattered them lightning and discomfited them

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

17 He sent from above he took me he drew me out of many waters

18 He delivered me from my strong enemy and from them that hated me for they were too strong for me

19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity but the LORD was my stay

20 He brought me forth also into a large place he delivered me because he delighted in me

21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me

22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God

23 For all his judgments were before me and as for his statutes I did not depart from them

24 I was also upright before him and have kept myself from mine iniquity

25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness according to my cleanness in his eye sight __

26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright

27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury

28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save but thine eyes are upon the haughty that thou mayest bring them down

29 For thou art my lamp O LORD and the LORD will lighten my darkness

30 For by thee I have run through a troop by my God have I leaped over a wall

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

32 For who is God save the LORD and who is a rock save our God

33 God is my strength and power and he maketh my way perfect

34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet and setteth me upon my high places

35 He teacheth my hands to war so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms

36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation and thy gentleness hath made me great

37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me so that my feet did not slip

38 I have pursued mine enemies and destroyed them and turned not again until I had consumed them

39 And I have consumed them and wounded them that they could not arise yea they are fallen under my feet

40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me

41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies that I might destroy them that hate me

42 They looked but there was none to save even unto the LORD but he answered them not

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

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

45 Strangers __ shall submit themselves unto me as soon as they hear __ they shall be obedient unto me

46 Strangers __ shall fade away and they shall be afraid out of their close places

47 The LORD liveth and blessed be my rock and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation

48 It is God that avengeth __ me and that bringeth down the people under me

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

50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee O LORD among the heathen and I will sing praises unto thy name

51 He is the tower __ of salvation for his king and sheweth mercy to his anointed unto David and to his seed for evermore
