OUT OF HIS TEMPLE

^{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
