Settings

22:1And David spoke the words of this song to Jehovah on the day when Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. Compare
22:2And he said: Jehovah is my crag and my fortress and my Deliverer; Compare
22:3My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; / My shield and the horn of my salvation, my high retreat and my refuge; / My Savior, You save me from violence. Compare
22:4I called upon Jehovah, who is worthy of praise, / And from my enemies I was saved. Compare
22:5For the waves of death encompassed me; / The torrents of destruction assailed me. Compare
22:6The cords of Sheol surrounded me; / The snares of death confronted me. Compare
22:7In my distress I called upon Jehovah / And called to my God. / And He heard my voice from His temple, / And my cry came to His ears. Compare
22:8Then the earth shook and quaked, / And the foundations of the heavens trembled and shook about, / For He was furious. Compare
22:9Smoke went up from His nostrils, / And fire from His mouth devoured; / Coals blazed forth from Him. Compare
22:10He bowed the heavens down and descended, / And deep darkness was under His feet. Compare
22:11He rode upon a cherub and did fly; / He was seen upon the wings of the wind. Compare
22:12And He made darkness pavilions around Him: / Dark waterclouds, thick clouds of the skies. Compare
22:13Out of the brightness before Him / Fiery coals were kindled. Compare
22:14Jehovah thundered from heaven, / And the Most High uttered His voice. Compare
22:15And He sent forth arrows and scattered my enemies; / Lightning bolts, and discomfited them. Compare
22:16The channels of the sea were seen, / The foundations of the habitable land were laid bare, / By the rebuke of Jehovah, / At the blast of the breath of His nostrils. Compare
22:17He reached forth from on high; He took me; / He drew me out of great waters. Compare
22:18He delivered me from my strong enemy / And from those who hate me, for they were too mighty for me. Compare
22:19They confronted me in the day of my calamity, / But Jehovah became my support. Compare
22:20He brought me forth to a place broad and free; / He rescued me, for He took delight in me. Compare
22:21Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness; / According to the cleanness of my hands He has repaid me. Compare
22:22For I have kept the ways of Jehovah / And have not acted wickedly by turning away from my God. Compare
22:23For all His judgments were before me, / And as for His statutes, I did not turn away from them. Compare
22:24I was perfect toward Him, / And I kept myself from my iniquity. Compare
22:25Therefore Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, / According to my cleanness in His sight. Compare
22:26With the faithful You show Yourself faithful, / With the perfect man You show Yourself perfect, Compare
22:27With the pure You show Yourself pure, / And with the perverse You show Yourself contrary. Compare
22:28And You save the afflicted people, / But Your eyes are upon the haughty that You may bring them down; Compare
22:29For You are my lamp, O Jehovah. / And Jehovah lights up my darkness; Compare
22:30For by You I can run up against a troop; / By my God I can leap over a wall. Compare
22:31As for God, His way is perfect; / The word of Jehovah is tried. / He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. Compare
22:32For who is God other than Jehovah, / And who is a rock except our God? Compare
22:33God is my strong fortress, / And He makes my way perfect; Compare
22:34He makes my feet like hinds' feet / And sets me on my high places; Compare
22:35He teaches my hands to wage war / So that my arms may bend a bronze bow. Compare
22:36And You have given me the shield of Your salvation, / And Your condescending gentleness has made me great. Compare
22:37You have broadened the places of my steps under me, / And my feet have not slipped. Compare
22:38I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, / And I did not turn back until they were consumed. Compare
22:39And I devoured them and shattered them, so that they did not rise up; / Indeed, they have fallen under my feet. Compare
22:40And You girded me with strength for war; / You brought down under me those who rose up against me. Compare
22:41You also made my enemies turn their back to me, / And I annihilated those who hated me. Compare
22:42They looked, but there was no one to save them; / They looked to Jehovah, but He did not answer them. Compare
22:43Then I beat them like the dust of the earth; / I pounded them, I stamped them, like the mud of the streets. Compare
22:44And You rescued me from the strivings of my people; / You have kept me as the head of the nations; / A people whom I have not known serves me. Compare
22:45Foreigners come cringing to me; / At the mere hearing of a report, they obey me; Compare
22:46Foreigners are discouraged / And come quaking out of their fortresses. Compare
22:47Jehovah lives; and blessed be my rock, / And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation, Compare
22:48The God who executes vengeance for me / And brings down peoples under me, Compare
22:49And who brings me forth from my enemies. / Yes, You exalted me above those who rise up against me; / From the violent man You delivered me. Compare
22:50Therefore I give thanks to You among the nations, O Jehovah; / And I sing psalms to Your name. Compare
22:51It is He who magnifies salvation to His king / And executes lovingkindness to His anointed, / To David and to his seed forever. Compare
