2 Samuel 22
King James Version
22 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.
2 Samuel 22

David's Song of Deliverance
22 And David spoke (A)to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2 (B)He said,
(C)“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
3 (D)my[a] God, my rock, (E)in whom I take refuge,
(F)my shield, and (G)the horn of my salvation,
(H)my stronghold and (I)my refuge,
my savior; you save me from violence.
4 I call upon the Lord, who is (J)worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
5 (K)“For the waves of death encompassed me,
the torrents of destruction assailed me;[b]
6 (L)the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
7 (M)“In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I called.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry (N)came to his ears.
8 “Then (O)the earth reeled and rocked;
(P)the foundations of the heavens trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
9 Smoke went up from his nostrils,[c]
and devouring fire from his mouth;
(Q)glowing coals flamed forth from him.
10 (R)He bowed the heavens and (S)came down;
(T)thick darkness was under his feet.
11 He rode on a cherub and flew;
he was seen on (U)the wings of the wind.
12 He made (V)darkness around him (W)his canopy,
thick clouds, a gathering of water.
13 Out of the brightness before him
(X)coals of fire flamed forth.
14 (Y)The Lord thundered from heaven,
and the Most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out (Z)arrows and scattered them;
lightning, and routed them.
16 Then the channels of the sea were seen;
the foundations of the world were laid bare,
at the rebuke of the Lord,
at the (AA)blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 (AB)“He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
18 He rescued me from my strong enemy,
from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
20 (AC)He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because (AD)he delighted in me.
21 “The Lord (AE)dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the (AF)cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
22 (AG)For I have kept the ways of the Lord
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 (AH)For all his rules were before me,
and from his statutes I did not turn aside.
24 I was (AI)blameless before him,
and I kept myself from guilt.
25 (AJ)And the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to my cleanness in his sight.
26 (AK)“With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the (AL)blameless man you show yourself blameless;
27 with the purified you deal purely,
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
28 (AM)You save a humble people,
(AN)but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29 (AO)For you are my lamp, O Lord,
and my God lightens my darkness.
30 For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
31 This God—(AP)his way is perfect;
the (AQ)word of the Lord proves true;
he is (AR)a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
32 “For who is God, but the Lord?
(AS)And who is a rock, except our God?
33 This God is my (AT)strong refuge
and has made my[d] way blameless.[e]
34 (AU)He made my feet like the feet of a deer
and set me secure (AV)on the heights.
35 (AW)He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your gentleness made me great.
37 (AX)You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet[f] did not slip;
38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
and did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;
they fell (AY)under my feet.
40 For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made (AZ)those who rise against me sink under me.
41 You (BA)made my enemies turn their backs to me,[g]
those who hated me, and I destroyed them.
42 They looked, but there was none to save;
they cried to the Lord, but (BB)he did not answer them.
43 I beat them fine (BC)as the dust of the earth;
I crushed them and stamped them down (BD)like the mire of the streets.
44 “You delivered me from strife with my people;[h]
you kept me as the head of (BE)the nations;
(BF)people whom I had not known served me.
45 Foreigners came cringing to me;
as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
46 Foreigners lost heart
and came trembling[i] (BG)out of their fortresses.
47 “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be (BH)my God, (BI)the rock of my salvation,
48 the God who gave me vengeance
and (BJ)brought down peoples under me,
49 who brought me out from my enemies;
you exalted me above (BK)those who rose against me;
you delivered me from (BL)men of violence.
50 (BM)“For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and sing praises to your name.
51 (BN)Great salvation he brings[j] to his king,
and shows steadfast love to (BO)his anointed,
to David and his offspring (BP)forever.”

David’s Psalm of Deliverance
22 (A)Now David spoke (B)the words of this song to the Lord on the day that the Lord had saved him from the [a]hand of all his enemies and from the [b]hand of Saul. 2 He said,
“(C)The Lord is my [c]rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
3 [d](D)My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
My (E)shield and (F)the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and (G)my refuge;
My savior, You save me from violence.
4 I call upon the Lord, (H)who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.
5 For (I)the waves of death encompassed me;
(J)The floods of [e]destruction terrified me;
6 (K)The ropes of [f]Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
7 (L)In my distress I called upon the Lord,
Yes, I called out to my God;
And from His temple He heard my voice,
And my cry for help came into His ears.
8 Then (M)the earth shook and quaked,
(N)The foundations of heaven were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.
9 Smoke went up [g]out of His nostrils,
(O)And fire from His mouth was devouring;
(P)Coals were kindled by it.
10 He also bowed the heavens down low, and came down
With (Q)thick darkness under His feet.
11 (R)He rode on a cherub and flew;
He [h]appeared on (S)the wings of the wind.
12 (T)He made darkness canopies around Him,
A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky.
13 From the brightness before Him
(U)Coals of fire were kindled.
14 (V)The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice.
15 (W)And He shot arrows and scattered them,
Lightning, and [i]routed them.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared,
The foundations of the world were exposed
By the rebuke of the Lord,
(X)From the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17 (Y)He sent from on high, He took me;
(Z)He drew me out of many waters.
18 He rescued me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me on the day of my disaster,
(AA)But the Lord was my support.
20 (AB)He also brought me out into an open place;
He rescued me, (AC)because He delighted in me.
21 (AD)The Lord has treated me in accordance with my righteousness;
(AE)In accordance with the cleanliness of my hands He has repaid me.
22 (AF)For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not acted wickedly against my God.
23 (AG)For all His ordinances were before me,
And as for His statutes, I did not deviate from [j]them.
24 (AH)I was also [k]blameless toward Him,
And I have kept myself from my wrongdoing.
25 (AI)So the Lord has repaid me in accordance with my righteousness,
In accordance with my cleanliness before His eyes.
26 (AJ)With the one who is faithful You show Yourself faithful,
With the [l]blameless one You prove Yourself [m]blameless;
27 (AK)With the one who is pure You show Yourself pure,
(AL)But with the perverted You [n]show Yourself astute.
28 (AM)And You save an afflicted people;
(AN)But Your eyes are on the haughty whom You humiliate.
29 (AO)For You are my lamp, Lord;
And the Lord illuminates my darkness.
30 (AP)For by You I can run at a [o]troop of warriors;
By my God I can leap over a wall.
31 (AQ)As for God, His way is [p]blameless;
(AR)The word of the Lord is refined;
(AS)He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32 (AT)For who is God, except the Lord?
(AU)And who is a rock, except our God?
33 (AV)God is my strong fortress;
And He [q]sets the [r]blameless on [s]His way.
34 (AW)He makes [t]my feet like deer’s feet,
(AX)And sets me on my high places.
35 (AY)He trains my hands for battle,
(AZ)So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You have also given me (BA)the shield of Your salvation,
And Your [u]help makes me great.
37 (BB)You enlarge my steps under me,
And my [v]feet have not slipped.
38 I pursued my enemies and (BC)eliminated them,
And I did not turn back until they were finished off.
39 And I have devoured them and smashed them, so that they would not rise;
And (BD)they fell under my feet.
40 For You have encircled me with strength for battle;
You have forced (BE)those who rose up against me to bow down under me.
41 You have also (BF)made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I [w]destroyed those who hated me.
42 (BG)They looked, but there was no one to save them;
(BH)Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
43 (BI)Then I pulverized them as the dust of the earth;
(BJ)I crushed and trampled them like the mud of the streets.
44 (BK)You have also saved me from the contentions of my people;
(BL)You have kept me as head of the nations;
(BM)A people I have not known serve me.
45 (BN)Foreigners pretend to obey me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.
46 Foreigners lose heart,
(BO)And [x]come trembling out of their fortresses.
47 The Lord lives, and blessed be my Rock;
And exalted be [y](BP)my God, the rock of my salvation,
48 (BQ)The God who executes vengeance for me,
(BR)And brings down peoples under me,
49 Who also brings me out from my enemies;
You also raise me above (BS)those who rise up against me;
(BT)You rescue me from the violent person.
50 (BU)Therefore I will [z]give thanks to You, Lord, among the nations,
And I will sing praises to Your name.
51 (BV)He is a tower of [aa]salvation to His king,
And (BW)shows favor to His anointed,
(BX)To David and his [ab]descendants forever.”

Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
다윗이 주를 찬양하다
(시 18:1-50)
22 주께서 다윗을 그의 모든 원수들과 사울의 손에서 구해 주셨을 때에 다윗이 이 노래로 주를 찬양하였다.
2 주님은 나의 반석, 나의 요새, 나를 건지시는 분
3 나의 하나님은 내가 피할 반석
나의 방패, 나의 구원의 뿔이시다[a].
그분은 나의 산성, 나의 피난처
나의 구원자시라
포악한 자에게서 나를 구해 주십니다.
4 찬양 받으실 주님
내가 당신께 부르짖으니
당신께서 나를 원수들에게서 구해 주십니다.
5 죽음의 물결이 나를 휘감고
파멸의 파도가 나를 덮쳤다.
6 무덤[b]의 밧줄이 나를 칭칭 감고
죽음의 올무가 내 앞에 놓여 있었다.
7 내가 고통 가운데서 주께 부르짖었다.
나의 하나님께 부르짖었더니
나의 부르짖음이
성전에 계신 그분 앞에 닿았고
그분의 귀에 들렸다.
8 땅이 떨리고 흔들렸다.
하늘의 기초도 흔들렸다.
주께서 진노하시니
그것들이 흔들렸다.
9 그분의 코에서 연기가 오르고
그분의 입에서는
숯덩이들이 벌겋게 달아오르면서 내뿜는 불길처럼
모든 것을 삼키는 불이 뿜어 나왔다.
10 그분께서 하늘을 가르고 내려오셨다.
짙은 먹구름이 그분의 발밑에 깔려 있었다.
11 그분께서 그룹 천사를 타고 날아오셨다.
바람의 날개를 타고 하늘 높이 날아오셨다.
12 어둠으로 당신의 주위를 둘러 장막을 만드셨다.
빗방울 머금은 먹구름으로 당신을 두르셨다.
13 주 앞에서 빛나는 광채로부터
번개 불빛이 번쩍 터져 나왔다.
14 주께서 하늘에서 천둥을 치셨다.
지극히 높으신 분의 목소리가
하늘 가득 울려 퍼졌다.
15 주님께서 화살[c]을 쏘아
원수들을 흩으셨다.
큰 번개를 번쩍이시니
그들이 당황하여 사방으로 달아났다.
16 오, 주님
당신의 꾸짖음에
당신의 코에서 나오는 강한 콧김에
바다 속 깊은 골들이 드러나고
땅의 기초가 알몸뚱이를 드러냈습니다.
17 주께서 높은 곳에서 손을 내밀어
나를 붙잡아 주시고
깊은 물에서 나를 건져 주셨다.
18 그분께서 나를 구해 주셨다.
내 원수들이 너무 강하여
내가 도무지 당해 낼 수 없었는데
나를 구해 주셨다.
19 내가 재난을 당하던 날
원수들이 나에게 덤벼들었으나
주께서 나를 붙들어 주셨다.
20 주께서 나를 좋아하시므로
나를 구해 주시고
나를 넓은 곳으로 데려다 주셨다.
21 주께서는
내가 의롭다 하여 내게 상을 주시고
내 손이 깨끗하다 하여 내게 선을 베푸셨다.
22 이는
내가 주의 길을 따라 살며
하나님께 등을 돌리는 악한 짓을 저지르지 않았기 때문이다.
23 나는 주의 법을 내 앞에 두고 지켰으며
그분의 법규에서 돌아선 적이 없었다.
24 나는 그분 앞에서 흠 잡힐 데 없었고
죄 짓는 일을 하지 않았다.
25 내가 의롭게 살아 왔고
그분께서 보시기에 내 손이 깨끗하였으므로
주께서 내게 상을 베푸셨다.
26 주님
당신께서는
진심으로 당신을 사랑하는 사람에게는
당신의 참 사랑을 보여 주시고
당신께 흠 잡을 데 없이 진실한 사람에게는
당신께서도 흠 잡을 데 없이 진실하십니다.
27 주님
당신께서는
순결한 사람은 순결하게 대접해 주시나
교활하게 속이는 사람의 꾀는
먼저 아시고 꺾어 버리십니다.
28 당신께서는 겸손한 자는 구해 주시나
교만한 자는 낮추십니다.
29 오, 주님
당신은 나의 등불.
나를 에워싼 어둠이 변하여 빛이 되게 하십니다.
30 나는 당신의 도우심으로
적군을 향하여 나아갈 수 있으며
하나님과 함께라면
적의 성벽을 기어오를 수 있습니다.
31 하나님의 길은 완전하며
주님의 말씀에는 티 한 점 없다.
그분은
피난처를 구해 당신께 오는 사람에게
방패가 되어 주신다.
32 주님 밖에 누가 하나님이시냐?
우리 하나님 밖에 누가 반석이시냐?
33 힘으로 나를 무장시키시고
내 길을 완전케 하시는 분은 하나님이시다.
34 그분께서
나의 발을 사슴의 발 같이 빠르게 하시며
나를 높은 곳에 서게 해 주신다.
35 그분께서
나의 손을 훈련시켜 싸우게 하시니
나의 팔이 놋쇠 활도 구부릴 수 있다.
36 하나님
당신께서 나에게 승리의 방패를 주시고
몸을 굽혀 나를 위대하게 하셨습니다.
37 당신께서 내 발밑의 길을 넓혀 주시니
나의 발목들이 비틀거리지 않았습니다.
38 내가 원수들을 뒤쫓아 그들을 무찔렀습니다.
그들을 전멸시키기까지 나는 돌아서지 않았습니다.
39 내가 그들을 완전히 무찔렀으니
그들이 다시는 일어서지 못할 것입니다.
40 당신께서 나에게 강한 힘을 주시어
내 원수들이 내 발 앞에 엎드려 절하게 하셨습니다.
41 내 원수들이 내게 등을 돌리고 도망치게 하시니
내가 그들을 거꾸러뜨렸습니다.
42 내 원수들이 소리쳐 도움을 청하였으나
그들을 구해 줄 이 아무도 없었습니다.
그들이 주께 부르짖었으나
주님은 그들에게 응답하지 않으셨습니다.
43 내가 그들을 산산이 부수어 땅의 먼지처럼 날려 버리고
그들을 짓밟아 길바닥에 나뒹구는 진흙덩이처럼 만들었습니다.
44 당신께서는
나를 공격해 온 사람들에게서 나를 구해 내시고
나를 뭇 민족의 지도자로 삼으셨습니다.
이제 내가 알지 못 하던 사람들까지 나를 섬기며
45 외국 사람들은 내 앞에서 몸 둘 바를 모릅니다.
그들은 내 명령을 듣는 순간 내게 복종합니다.
46 그들은 용기를 잃고
숨어 있던 요새에서 떨며 나옵니다.
47 주님은 살아 계신다!
나의 반석이신 주님을 찬양하여라!
나의 반석, 나의 구원자이신 하나님을 높이 받들어라!
48 그분은 하나님이시다.
내 원수를 갚아 주시고
뭇 민족을 내게 복종케 하시며
49 내 원수들에게서 나를 건져 주신다.
당신께서 나를 내 원수보다 높여 주시고
포악한 자들로부터 나를 구해 주셨습니다.
50 그러므로 주님
내가 뭇 민족 가운데서 당신을 찬양하며
당신의 이름을 노래하렵니다.
51 주께서는 당신의 임금에게 큰 승리를 안겨 주시고
당신께서 기름 부어 세우신 이에게 한결같은 친절을 베푸시니
곧 다윗과 그의 후손에게 영원토록 그리하시리라.
