2 Samuel 22:22-51 ▼

22 For I have watched the ways of Jehovah, And I acted not wickedly away from my God.

23 For all his judgments before me, And his laws I will not depart from them.

24 And I will be blameless to him, and I shall be washed from mine iniquity.

25 Jehovah will turn back to me according to my justice: According to my cleanness before his eyes.

26 With the merciful thou wilt be merciful, With the perfect man thou wilt be perfect.

27 With the chosen thou wilt be chosen, And with the perverse thou wilt be unseasoned.

28 And the people of affliction thou wilt save: And thine eyes upon the lifted up, thou wilt humble.

29 For thou my light, O Jehovah: And Jehovah will enlighten my darkness.

30 For in thee will I run, being pressed In my God will I leap over a wall.

31 The Strong One, blameless his way The saying of Jehovah purified, A shield to all trusting in him.

32 For who God besides Jehovah? And who a rock besides our God?

33 The Strong One strengthening me with strength: And he will leave his way blameless.

34 Setting my feet as the hinds: And upon the heights will he cause me to stand.

35 Teaching my hands to the war, And bringing down the brazen bow by mine arm.

36 And thou wilt give to me the shield of thy salvation, and thine answer will multiply me.

37 Thou wilt enlarge my steps under me, And my joints were not unsteady.

38 I will pursue mine enemies and destroy them I will not turn back even to finishing them.

39 And I will consume them and crush them, and they shall not be raised up.

40 Thou wilt fasten me together with strength for the war, Thou wilt subdue under me him rising up against me.

41 And the neck of mine enemies wilt thou give to me Those hating me, and I will cut them off.

42 They will look, and no saviour To Jehovah, and he answered them not.

43 And I will rub them as the dust of the earth: As the mire of the streets I will stamp them, I will beat them:

44 And thou wilt save me from the strifes of my people, Thou wilt watch me for the head of nations: The people I have not known shall serve me.

45 The sons of the stranger will lie to me: For the hearing of the ear they will hear to me.

46 The sons of the stranger shall fail, and be girded from their enclosings.

47 Jehovah living; and praised my rock: And God shall be lifted up, the rock of my salvation.

48 The Strong One giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me.

49 And bringing me out from mine enemies lifting me up from them rising up against me: From the man of violence thou wilt deliver me.

50 For this will I praise thee, O Jehovah, in the nations, to thy name will I play on the harp.

51 Magnifying the salvation of his king: And he has done mercy to his Messiah To David and to his seed even to forever.
