Davids segersång
22 David sjöng till Herren denna sång, när Herren hade räddat honom från alla hans fiender och ur Sauls våld. 2 Han sade:
Herre, mitt bergfäste,
min borg och min räddare,
3 min Gud, min tillflykts klippa,
min sköld och min frälsnings horn,
mitt värn och min tillflykt,
min frälsare, du som frälsar mig från våldet.
4 Till Herren, den högtlovade, ropar jag,
och från mina fiender blir jag räddad.
5 Dödens vågor omgav mig,
fördärvets strömmar förskräckte mig.
6 Dödsrikets band omslöt mig,
dödens snaror föll över mig.
7 I min nöd åkallade jag Herren,
till min Gud ropade jag.
Från sitt tempel hörde han min röst,
mitt rop nådde hans öron.
8 Då skakade jorden och bävade,
himlens grundvalar darrade,
de skakade, ty hans vrede var upptänd.
9 Rök steg upp från hans näsa,
förtärande eld från hans mun,
eldsglöd ljungade från honom.
10 Han sänkte himlen och for ner,
mörka moln var under hans fötter.
11 Han for på keruben och flög,
han svävade fram på vindens vingar.
12 Han gjorde mörker till hyddor som omslöt honom,
vattenmassor, tjocka moln.
13 Ur glansen framför honom flammade klot av eld.
14 Herren dundrade från himlen,
den Högste lät höra sin röst.
15 Han sköt pilar och skingrade dem,
blixtar och förvirrade dem.
16 Havets bäddar kom i dagen,
jordens grundvalar blev synliga,
genom Herrens näpst,
för hans vredes stormvind.
17 Han räckte ut sin hand från höjden
och grep tag i mig,
han drog mig upp ur de stora vattnen.
18 Han räddade mig från min starke fiende,
från dem som hatade mig,
ty de var mig för starka.
19 De överföll mig på min olyckas dag,
men Herren blev mitt stöd.
20 Han förde mig ut på rymlig plats,
han räddade mig, ty han har mig kär.
21 Herren gjorde väl med mig efter min rättfärdighet,
efter mina händers renhet lönade han mig.
22 Ty jag höll mig på Herrens vägar,
jag avföll ej från min Gud i ogudaktighet.
23 Alla hans domslut hade jag för ögonen,
och hans stadgar lät jag inte vika ifrån mig.
24 Jag var fullkomlig inför honom
och tog mig till vara för synd.
25 Därför har Herren lönat mig efter min rättfärdighet,
efter min renhet inför hans ögon.
26 Mot den trogne visar du dig trofast,
mot den fullkomlige visar du dig fullkomlig.
27 Mot den rene visar du dig ren,
men mot den falske visar du dig vrång.
28 Du frälsar ett betryckt folk,
men dina ögon är emot de stolta,
du ödmjukar dem.
29 Ty du, Herre, är min lampa,
Herren gör mitt mörker ljust.
30 Med dig kan jag slå ner fiendehärar,
med min Gud stormar jag murar.
31 Guds väg är fullkomlig.
Herrens tal är rent.
Han är en sköld för alla som flyr till honom.
32 Ty vem är Gud förutom Herren,
vem är en klippa utom vår Gud?
33 Gud är mitt starka värn,
han leder den fullkomlige på hans väg,
34 Du gör mina fötter som hindens
och ställer mig på mina höjder.
35 Du lär mina händer att strida,
mina armar att spänna kopparbågen.
36 Du ger mig din frälsnings sköld,
ditt saktmod gör mig stor.
37 Du gör plats för mina steg där jag går,
mina fötter vacklar inte.
38 Jag förföljde mina fiender och förgjorde dem.
Jag vände inte tillbaka,
förrän jag hade gjort slut på dem.
39 Jag gjorde slut på dem, jag slog dem,
och de reste sig inte,
de föll under mina fötter.
40 Du utrustade mig med kraft till striden,
du böjde mina motståndare under mig.
41 Mina fiender drev du på flykten för mig,
dem som hatade mig förgjorde jag.
42 De såg sig omkring, men där fanns ingen räddare,
till Herren, men han svarade dem inte.
43 Jag stötte sönder dem till stoft på marken,
jag krossade dem och trampade på dem som smuts på gatan.
44 Du räddade mig ur mitt folks strider,
du bevarade mig till ett huvud för hednafolk,
folkslag jag inte kände blev mina tjänare.
45 Främlingar kom krypande för mig,
så snart de hörde talas om mig lydde de mig.
46 Främlingarnas mod vissnade bort,
med bävan övergav de sina fästen.
47 Herren lever! Välsignad vare min klippa,
upphöjd vare Gud, min frälsnings klippa.
48 Gud, du har givit mig hämnd
och lagt folken under mig.
49 Du har fört mig ut från mina fiender
du har upphöjt mig över mina motståndare,
och räddat mig från våldsmän.
50 Därför vill jag tacka dig bland hednafolken, Herre,
och lovsjunga ditt namn.
51 Ty du ger din kung stor seger,
du handlar nådigt mot din smorde,
mot David och hans efterkommande till evig tid.
2 Samuel 22
New International Version
2 Samuel 22
New International Version
David’s Song of Praise(A)
22 David sang(B) to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said:
“The Lord is my rock,(C) my fortress(D) and my deliverer;(E)
3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,(F)
my shield[a](G) and the horn[b](H) of my salvation.
He is my stronghold,(I) my refuge and my savior—
from violent people you save me.
4 “I called to the Lord, who is worthy(J) of praise,
and have been saved from my enemies.
5 The waves(K) of death swirled about me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
6 The cords of the grave(L) coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
7 “In my distress(M) I called(N) to the Lord;
I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came to his ears.
8 The earth(O) trembled and quaked,(P)
the foundations(Q) of the heavens[c] shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire(R) came from his mouth,
burning coals(S) blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds(T) were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim(U) and flew;
he soared[d] on the wings of the wind.(V)
12 He made darkness(W) his canopy around him—
the dark[e] rain clouds of the sky.
13 Out of the brightness of his presence
bolts of lightning(X) blazed forth.
14 The Lord thundered(Y) from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot his arrows(Z) and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
16 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke(AA) of the Lord,
at the blast(AB) of breath from his nostrils.
17 “He reached down from on high(AC) and took hold of me;
he drew(AD) me out of deep waters.
18 He rescued(AE) me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.(AF)
20 He brought me out into a spacious(AG) place;
he rescued(AH) me because he delighted(AI) in me.(AJ)
21 “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(AK)
according to the cleanness(AL) of my hands(AM) he has rewarded me.
22 For I have kept(AN) the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
23 All his laws are before me;(AO)
I have not turned(AP) away from his decrees.
24 I have been blameless(AQ) before him
and have kept myself from sin.
25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(AR)
according to my cleanness[f] in his sight.
26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27 to the pure(AS) you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(AT)
28 You save the humble,(AU)
but your eyes are on the haughty(AV) to bring them low.(AW)
29 You, Lord, are my lamp;(AX)
the Lord turns my darkness into light.
30 With your help I can advance against a troop[g];
with my God I can scale a wall.
31 “As for God, his way is perfect:(AY)
The Lord’s word is flawless;(AZ)
he shields(BA) all who take refuge in him.
32 For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock(BB) except our God?(BC)
33 It is God who arms me with strength[h]
and keeps my way secure.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(BD)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(BE)
35 He trains my hands(BF) for battle;
my arms can bend a bow(BG) of bronze.
36 You make your saving help my shield;(BH)
your help has made[i] me great.
37 You provide a broad path(BI) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 I crushed(BJ) them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
40 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.(BK)
41 You made my enemies turn their backs(BL) in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
42 They cried for help,(BM) but there was no one to save them—(BN)
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(BO)
43 I beat them as fine as the dust(BP) of the earth;
I pounded and trampled(BQ) them like mud(BR) in the streets.
44 “You have delivered(BS) me from the attacks of the peoples;
you have preserved(BT) me as the head of nations.
People(BU) I did not know now serve me,
45 foreigners cower(BV) before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.(BW)
46 They all lose heart;
they come trembling[j](BX) from their strongholds.
47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted(BY) be my God, the Rock, my Savior!(BZ)
48 He is the God who avenges(CA) me,(CB)
who puts the nations under me,
49 who sets me free from my enemies.(CC)
You exalted me(CD) above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises(CE) of your name.(CF)

21st Century King James Version
2 Samuel 22
21st Century King James Version
22 And David spoke 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 savior; 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 lay ahead of me.
7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God; and He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry entered 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 flew; 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 laid bare 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 came before 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 eyesight.
26 “With the merciful Thou wilt show Thyself merciful, and with the upright man Thou wilt show Thyself upright.
27 With the pure Thou wilt show thyself pure, and with the froward Thou wilt show thyself unsavory.
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 stamped them as the mire of the street and 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 whom 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 secret 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 showeth mercy to His anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.”
