2 Samuel 22:1-12 ▼

1 And David will speak to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul:

2 And he will say, Jehovah my rock and my fastness and my deliverer;

3 The God of my rock; I will trust in him: My shield and the horn of my salvation, my height and my refuge; My saviour; thou wilt save me from violence.

4 Praising, I will call Jehovah and shall be saved from mine enemies.

5 For the breakers of death surrounded me The torrents of Beilal will terrify me;

6 The pangs of hades surrounded me; The snares of death anticipated me;

7 In straits to me I will call Jehovah, And to God will I call, And he will hear my voice from his temple, And my cry in his ears.

8 And the earth will shake and tremble, The foundation of the heavens will be disturbed, And they will shake, for it kindled to him.

9 Smoke went up in his anger, And fire from his mouth shall consume: Coals were kindled from it.

10 He will incline the heavens and come down; And darkness under his feet.

11 And he will ride upon a cherub and fly: And he will be seen upon the wings of the wind.

12 And he will set darkness round about him for booths, The gatherings of waters the darkness of clouds.
