10_2SA_22_01 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 :
10_2SA_22_02 And he said , the LORD [ Is ] my rock , And my fortress , And my deliverer ;
10_2SA_22_03 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 .
10_2SA_22_04 I will call on the LORD , [ who Is ] worthy to be praised : So shall I be saved from mine enemies .
10_2SA_22_05 when the waves of death compassed me , the floods of ungodly men made me afraid ;
10_2SA_22_06 the sorrows of hell compassed me about ; the snares of death prevented me ;
10_2SA_22_07 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 .
10_2SA_22_08 Then the earth shook And trembled ; the foundations of heaven moved And shook , because he was wroth .
10_2SA_22_09 there went up A smoke out of his nostrils , And fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were kindled by it .
10_2SA_22_10 he bowed the heavens also , And came down ; And darkness [ was ] under his feet .
10_2SA_22_11 And he rode upon A cherub , And did fly : And he was seen upon the wings of the wind .
10_2SA_22_12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him , dark waters , [ And ] thick clouds of the skies .
10_2SA_22_13 through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled .
10_2SA_22_14 the LORD thundered from heaven , And the most high uttered his voice .
10_2SA_22_15 And he sent out arrows , And scattered them ; lightning , And discomfited them .
10_2SA_22_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 .
10_2SA_22_17 he sent from above , he took me ; he drew me out of Many waters ;
10_2SA_22_18 he delivered me from my strong enemy , [ And ] from them that hated me : for they were too strong for me .
10_2SA_22_19 they prevented me in the day of my calamity : but the LORD was my stay .
10_2SA_22_20 he brought me forth also into A large place : he delivered me , because he delighted in me .
10_2SA_22_21 the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness : according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me .
10_2SA_22_22 for I have kept the ways of the LORD , And have not wickedly departed from my God .
10_2SA_22_23 for all his judgments [ were ] before me : And [ as for ] his statutes , I did not Depart from them .
10_2SA_22_24 I was also upright before him , And have kept myself from mine iniquity .
10_2SA_22_25 therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness ; according to my cleanness in his eye sight .
10_2SA_22_26 with the merciful thou Wilt show thyself merciful , [ And ] with the upright man thou Wilt show thyself upright .
10_2SA_22_27 with the pure thou Wilt show thyself pure ; And with the froward thou Wilt show thyself unsavoury .
10_2SA_22_28 And the afflicted people thou Wilt save : but thine eyes [ are ] upon the haughty , [ that ] thou mayest bring [ them ] down .
10_2SA_22_29 for thou [ art ] my lamp , O LORD : And the LORD will lighten my darkness .
10_2SA_22_30 for by thee I have run through A troop : by my God have I leaped over A wall .
10_2SA_22_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 .
10_2SA_22_32 for who [ Is ] God , save the LORD ? And who [ Is ] A rock , save our God ?
10_2SA_22_33 God [ Is ] my strength [ And ] power : And he maketh my way perfect .
10_2SA_22_34 he maketh my feet like hinds' [ feet ] : And setteth me upon my high places .
10_2SA_22_35 he teacheth my hands to war ; So that A bow of steel Is broken by mine arms .
10_2SA_22_36 thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation : And thy gentleness hath made me great .
10_2SA_22_37 thou hast enlarged my steps under me ; So that my feet did not slip .
10_2SA_22_38 I have pursued mine enemies , And destroyed them ; And turned not again until I had consumed them .
10_2SA_22_39 And I have consumed them , And wounded them , that they could not Arise : yea , they are fallen under my feet .
10_2SA_22_40 for thou hast girded me with strength to battle : them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me .
10_2SA_22_41 thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies , that I might destroy them that hate me .
10_2SA_22_42 they looked , but [ there was ] none to save ; [ even ] unto the LORD , but he answered them not .
10_2SA_22_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 .
10_2SA_22_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 .
10_2SA_22_45 strangers shall submit themselves unto me : as soon as they hear , they shall be obedient unto me .
10_2SA_22_46 strangers shall fade away , And they shall be afraid out of their close places .
10_2SA_22_47 the LORD liveth ; And blessed [ be ] my rock ; And exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation .
10_2SA_22_48 it [ Is ] God that avengeth me , And that bringeth down the people under me ,
10_2SA_22_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 .
10_2SA_22_50 therefore I will give thanks unto thee , O LORD , among the heathen , And I will sing praises unto thy name .
10_2SA_22_51 [ he Is ] the tower of salvation for his king : And showeth mercy to his anointed , unto David , And to his seed for evermore .
