2 Samuel 22:3-22
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.
I WILL CALL ON THE LORD, WHO IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED:
SO SHALL I BE SAVED FROM MINE ENEMIES.
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
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 HIS EARS.
THEN THE EARTH SHOOK AND TREMBLED;
THE FOUNDATION OF HEAVEN MOVED AND SHOOK, BECAUSE HE WAS WROTH
THERE WENT UP SMOKE OUT OF HIS NOSTRILS,
AND FIRE OUT OF HIS MOUTH DEVOURED:
COALS WERE KINDLED BY IT.
HE BOWED THE HEAVENS ALSO,
AND CAME DOWN;
AND DARKNESS WAS UNDER HIS FEET.
AND HE RODE UPON A CHERUB,
AND DID FLY:
AND HE WAS SEEN
UPON WINGS OF THE WIND.
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
THROUGH THE BRIGHTNESS BEFORE HIM WERE COALS OF FIRE KINDLED.
THE LORD THUNDERED FROM HEAVEN,
AND THE MOST HIGH UTTERED HIS VOICE.
AND HE SENT ARROWS, AND SCATTERED THEM; LIGHTNING, AND DISCOMFIT THEM.
And the channels of the sea appeared,
THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD WERE DISCOVERED,
AT THE REBUKING OF THE LORD, AT THE BLAST OF HIS NOSTRILS.
HE SENT FROM ABOVE, HE TOOK ME; HE DREW ME OUT OF MANY WATERS;
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me:
for they were too strong for me.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
THE Lord REWARDED ME ACCORDING TO MY RIGHTEOUSNESS;
ACCORDING TO THE CLEANNESS OF MY HANDS HATH HE RECOMPENSED ME.
FOR I HAVE KEPT THE WAYS OF THE LORD,
AND HAVE NOT WICKEDLY DEPARTED FROM MY GOD.
LOVE
