2 Samuel 22
Tafel-Bibel
1Und David redete zu Jehovah die Worte dieses Liedes am Tage, da ihn Jehovah aus der Hand aller seiner Feinde und aus der Hand Sauls errettet hatte, und sprach:
2Jehovah, mein Hort, meine Feste und mein Befreier.
3Mein Gott, mein Fels, auf Den ich mich verlasse; mein Schild und Horn meines Heils, meine Burg und meine Zuflucht, Du mein Retter, Der Du mir hilfst von der Gewalttat.
4Lobenswürdiger, rufe ich, Jehovah! Und von meinen Feinden wird mir geholfen.
5Denn Brandungen des Todes hatten mich umfangen, Bäche Belials mich verstört.
6Stricke der Hölle umgaben mich, Fallstricke des Todes kamen mir entgegen.
7In meiner Drangsal rief ich zu Jehovah, und zu meinem Gotte rief ich, und Er hörte von seinem Tempel meine Stimme und mein Angstschrei kam in Seine Ohren.
8Und es schwankte und erbebte die Erde, die Grundfesten der Himmel zitterten und schwankten; denn Er entbrannte.
9Rauch stieg auf von seiner Nase; und Feuer aus Seinem Munde fraß; Glühkohlen brannten aus Ihm hervor.
10Und Er neigte die Himmel und kam herab, und Wolkendunkel war unter Seinen Füßen.
11Und Er fuhr auf dem Cherub und flog und schwebte auf den Flügeln des Windes daher.
12Und setzte Finsternis um Sich her als Hütten, Bande von Wassern, dichte Wolken der Wolkenhimmel.
13Aus dem Glanze vor Ihm brannten Glühkohlen des Feuers.
14Vom Himmel donnerte Jehovah und der Höchste gab Seine Stimme.
15Und sandte aus Pfeile und zerstreute sie, den Blitz, und verwirrte sie.
16Des Meeres Grundbette erschienen, die Grundfesten der Welt wurden aufgedeckt, vom Dräuen Jehovahs, vom Odem des Hauches Seiner Nase.
17Er sandte herab aus der Höhe und holte mich; aus vielen Wassern zog Er mich empor.
18Er errettete mich von meinem starken Feinde, von meinen Hassern, denn sie waren zu gewaltig für mich.
19Sie kamen wider mich am Tage meiner Not, aber Jehovah ward mir eine Stütze.
20Und Er brachte mich heraus in das Weite, Er riß mich heraus, denn Er hatte Lust an mir.
21Nach meiner Gerechtigkeit vergalt mir Jehovah. Nach der Lauterkeit meiner Hände gab Er es mir zurück.
22Denn ich hielt die Wege Jehovahs und tat nicht Unrecht wider meinen Gott.
23Denn alle Seine Rechte sind vor mir und Seine Satzungen tue ich nicht weg von mir.
24Ich war ihm untadelig und hütete mich vor meiner Missetat.
25Und Jehovah gibt mir wieder nach meiner Gerechtigkeit, nach meiner Lauterkeit vor Seinen Augen.
26Dem Heiligen erweisest Du Dich heilig, mit dem untadeligen Helden untadelig.
27Mit dem Lauteren zeigst Du Dich lauter und mit dem Krummen erscheinst Du verdreht.
28Dem elenden Volke hilfst Du, und Deine Augen sind wider die Hohen, daß Du sie erniedrigst.
29Denn Du bist meine Leuchte, Jehovah, und Jehovah macht meine Finsternis erglänzen.
30Denn mit Dir durchlaufe ich Kriegshaufen. Mit meinem Gotte überspringe ich die Mauer.
31Gott, untadelig ist Sein Weg, die Rede Jehovahs ist geläutert; Er ist ein Schild allen, die auf Ihn sich verlassen.
32Denn wer ist Gott außer Jehovah! Und wer ein Fels außer unserem Gotte.
33Gott ist mir Stärke der Tapferkeit, und macht untadelig meinen Weg.
34Er machte meine Füße gleich denen der Hindinnen, und ließ mich stehen auf meinen Höhen.
35Er lehrte meine Hände den Streit und meine Arme, daß sie den ehernen Bogen spannten.
36Und gabst mir den Schild Deines Heiles, und während Du mich demütigest, mehrest du mich.
37Du machtest weit meinen Schritt unter mir, daß meine Knöchel nicht gleiteten.
38Ich setzte meinen Feinden nach und vernichtete sie, und kehrte nicht um, bis sie getilgt waren.
39Ich tilgte sie und zerschmetterte sie, daß sie nicht aufstanden, und sie unter meine Füße fielen.
40Und Du umgürtetest mich mit Tapferkeit zum Streite, und ließest, die wider mich aufstanden, sich krümmen unter mir.
41Du hast mir meiner Feinde Nacken gegeben, und meine Hasser habe ich vertilgt.
42Sie schauten aus, und kein Retter war da, zu Jehovah, und Er antwortete ihnen nicht.
43Und ich zermalmte sie wie Staub der Erde, wie Kot der Gassen zerstieß ich sie und zerstampfte sie.
44Du befreist mich von dem Hadern meines Volkes. Du behütetest mich, daß ich zum Haupte der Völkerschaften würde, ein Volk, das ich nicht gekannt, diente mir.
45Söhne des Auslandes werden mir huldigen, gehorchen mir auf Ohrgehör.
46Die Söhne des Auslandes welken hin und kriechen hervor aus ihren Schlössern.
47Es lebt Jehovah, und gesegnet sei mein Fels, und erhöht sei mein Gott, der Fels meines Heiles,
48Der Gott, Der mir Rache gibt und Völker herabbringt unter mich.
49Und mich herausgebracht aus meinen Feinden, und mich erhöht über die, so wider mich aufstanden, und mich errettet von dem Manne der Gewalttat.
50Darum bekenne ich Dich unter den Völkerschaften, Jehovah, und singe Psalmen Deinem Namen.
51Er macht großes Heil Seinem König und tut Barmherzigkeit Seinem Gesalbten, dem David, und Seinem Samen in Ewigkeit.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y HABLÓ David á Jehová las palabras de este cántico, el día que Jehová le había librado de la mano de todos sus enemigos, y de la mano de Saúl.
2Y dijo: Jehová es mi roca, y mi fortaleza, y mi libertador;
3Dios de mi roca, en él confiaré: mi escudo, y el cuerno de mi salud, mi fortaleza, y mi refugio; mi salvador, que me librarás de violencia.
4Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser loado, y seré salvo de mis enemigos.
5Cuando me cercaron ondas de muerte, y arroyos de iniquidad me asombraron,
6Me rodearon los dolores del infierno, y me tomaron descuidado lazos de muerte.
7Tuve angustia, invoqué á Jehová, y clamé á mi Dios: y él oyó mi voz desde su templo; llegó mi clamor á sus oídos.
8La tierra se removió, y tembló; los fundamentos de los cielos fueron movidos, y se estremecieron, porque él se airó.
9Subió humo de sus narices, y de su boca fuego consumidor, por el cual se encendieron carbones.
10Y abajó los cielos, y descendió: una oscuridad debajo de sus pies.
11Subió sobre el querubín, y voló: aparecióse sobre las alas del viento.
12Puso tinieblas alrededor de sí á modo de pabellones; aguas negras y espesas nubes.
13Del resplandor de su presencia se encendieron ascuas ardientes.
14Jehová tronó desde los cielos, y el Altísimo dió su voz;
15Arrojó saetas, y desbaratólos; relampagueó, y consumiólos.
16Entonces aparecieron los manantiales de la mar, y los fundamentos del mundo fueron descubiertos, á la reprensión de Jehová, al resoplido del aliento de su nariz.
17Extendió su mano de lo alto, y arrebatóme, y sacóme de copiosas aguas.
18Libróme de fuertes enemigos, de aquellos que me aborrecían, los cuales eran más fuertes que yo.
19Asaltáronme en el día de mi calamidad; mas Jehová fué mi sostén.
20Sacóme á anchura; libróme, porque puso su voluntad en mí.
21Remuneróme Jehová conforme á mi justicia; y conforme á la limpieza de mis manos, me dió la paga.
22Porque yo guardé los caminos de Jehová, y no me aparté impíamente de mi Dios.
23Porque delante de mí tengo todas sus ordenanzas; y atento á sus fueros, no me retiraré de ellos.
24Y fuí íntegro para con él, y guardéme de mi iniquidad.
25Remuneróme por tanto Jehová conforme á mi justicia, y conforme á mi limpieza delante de sus ojos.
26Con el bueno eres benigno, y con el íntegro te muestras íntegro;
27Limpio eres para con el limpio, mas con el perverso eres rígido.
28Y tú salvas al pueblo humilde; mas tus ojos sobre los altivos, para abatirlos.
29Porque tú eres mi lámpara, oh Jehová: Jehová da luz á mis tinieblas.
30Porque en ti romperé ejércitos, y con mi Dios saltaré las murallas.
31Dios, perfecto su camino: la palabra de Jehová purificada, escudo es de todos los que en él esperan.
32Porque ¿qué Dios hay sino Jehová? ¿ó quién es fuerte sino nuestro Dios?
33Dios es el que con virtud me corrobora, y el que despeja mi camino;
34El que hace mis pies como de ciervas, y el que me asienta en mis alturas;
35El que enseña mis manos para la pelea, y da que con mis brazos quiebre el arco de acero.
36Tú me diste asimismo el escudo de tu salud, y tu benignidad me ha acrecentado.
37Tú ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí, para que no titubeasen mis rodillas.
38Perseguiré á mis enemigos, y quebrantarélos; y no me volveré hasta que los acabe.
39Los consumiré, y los heriré, y no se levantarán; y caerán debajo de mis pies.
40Ceñísteme de fortaleza para la batalla, y postraste debajo de mí los que contra mí se levantaron.
41Tú me diste la cerviz de mis enemigos, de mis aborrecedores, y que yo los destruyese.
42Miraron, y no hubo quien los librase; á Jehová, mas no les respondió.
43Yo los desmenuzaré como polvo de la tierra; hollarélos como á lodo de las plazas, y los disiparé.
44Tú me libraste de contiendas de pueblos: tú me guardaste para que fuese cabeza de gentes: pueblos que no conocía, me sirvieron.
45Los extraños titubeaban á mí: en oyendo, me obedecían.
46Los extraños desfallecían, y temblaban en sus escondrijos.
47Viva Jehová, y sea bendita mi roca; sea ensalzado el Dios, la roca de mi salvamento:
48El Dios que me ha vengado, y sujeta los pueblos debajo de mí;
49Y que me saca de entre mis enemigos: tú me sacaste en alto de entre los que se levantaron contra mí: librásteme del varón de iniquidades.
50Por tanto yo te confesaré entre las gentes, oh Jehová, y cantaré á tu nombre.
51El que engrandece las saludes de su rey, y hace misericordia á su ungido, á David, y á su simiente, para siempre.
King James Version
1And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3The 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.
4I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7In 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 into his ears.
8Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
27With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
28And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
29For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
World English Bible
1David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
2and he said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
3God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.
4I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
5For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
6The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.
7In my distress, I called on the LORD. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.
8Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
9Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
11He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
12He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
14The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
15He sent out arrows and scattered them, lightning and confused them.
16Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the LORD’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
20He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22For I have kept the LORD’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.
24I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
25Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
26With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.
27With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
28You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.
29For you are my lamp, LORD. The LORD will light up my darkness.
30For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
31As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
32For who is God, besides the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God?
33God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.
34He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.
35He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
36You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.
37You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
38I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.
39I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
40For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42They looked, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
43Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
44You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
45The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.
46The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.
47The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
48even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,
49who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
50Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
51He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”
