2 Samuel 22:10-27 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. He bowed the heavens and came down; a very thick cloud was under his feet.

11. He rode upon a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.

12. He put darkness as a canopy all around him, a collection of thick rain clouds.

13. From the brightness before him flamed burning coals of fire.

14. Yahweh thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.

15. He sent arrows and he scattered them, lightning, and he directed them.

16. Then the channels of water of the sea were exposed, the foundations of the world, at the rebuke of Yawheh, from the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

17. He sent from a high position and took me; he drew me from mighty waters.

18. He delivered me from my strong enemies, from those who hate me, for they were mightier than I.

19. They approached me on the day of my disaster, but Yahweh was my support.

20. He brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.

21. Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.

22. For I have kept the ways of Yahweh; I have not acted wickedly against my God.

23. For all of his ordinances were before me, and I did not turn aside from his statutes.

24. I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

25. Yahweh has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before his eyes.

26. With the loyal, you act as loyal, and with the blameless, you show yourself blameless.

27. With the pure, you show yourself pure, but with the crooked, you appear as a fool.
