2 Samuel 22:14-31 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

14. Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice.

15. And he sent arrows, and scattered mine enemies; Lightning, and discomfited them.

16. And the beds of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

17. He reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great waters;

18. He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; For they were mightier than I.

19. They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

20. And he brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

21. Jehovah hath 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 Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God

23. For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,

24. And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity.

25. And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.

26. With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;

27. With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.

28. And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, whom thou bringest down.

29. For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth 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 Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him.
