22 Davíð flutti Drottni orð þessa ljóðs, þá er Drottinn frelsaði hann af hendi allra óvina hans og af hendi Sáls.
2 Hann mælti: Drottinn er bjarg mitt og vígi, hann er sá sem hjálpar mér.
3 Guð minn er hellubjarg mitt, þar sem ég leita hælis, skjöldur minn og horn hjálpræðis míns, háborg mín og hæli, frelsari minn, sem frelsar mig frá ofbeldi.
4 Lofaður sé Drottinn, hrópa ég, og ég frelsast frá óvinum mínum.
5 Brimöldur dauðans umkringdu mig, elfur glötunarinnar skelfdu mig,
6 snörur Heljar luktu um mig, möskvar dauðans féllu yfir mig.
7 Í angist minni kallaði ég á Drottin, og til Guðs míns hrópaði ég. Í helgidómi sínum heyrði hann raust mína, óp mitt barst til eyrna honum.
8 Jörðin bifaðist og nötraði, undirstöður fjallanna skulfu, þær bifuðust, því að hann var reiður.
9 Reykur gekk fram úr nösum hans og eyðandi eldur af munni hans, glóðir brunnu út frá honum.
10 Hann sveigði himininn og steig niður, og skýsorti var undir fótum hans.
11 Hann steig á bak kerúb og flaug af stað og sveif á vængjum vindarins.
12 Hann gjörði myrkrið í kringum sig að skýli, regnsortann og skýþykknið.
13 Frá ljómanum fyrir honum flugu hagl og eldglæringar.
14 Drottinn þrumaði af himni, hinn hæsti lét raust sína gjalla.
15 Hann skaut örvum sínum og tvístraði þeim, lét eldingarnar leiftra og hræddi þá.
16 Þá sá í mararbotn, og undirstöður jarðarinnar urðu berar fyrir ógnum Drottins, fyrir andgustinum úr nösum hans.
17 Hann seildist niður af hæðum og greip mig, dró mig upp úr hinum miklu vötnum.
18 Hann frelsaði mig frá hinum sterku óvinum mínum, frá fjandmönnum mínum, er voru mér yfirsterkari.
19 Þeir réðust á mig á mínum óheilladegi, en Drottinn var mín stoð.
20 Hann leiddi mig út á víðlendi, hann frelsaði mig, af því að hann hafði þóknun á mér.
21 Drottinn fór með mig eftir réttlæti mínu, eftir hreinleik handa minna galt hann mér,
22 því að ég hefi varðveitt vegu Drottins og hefi ekki reynst ótrúr Guði mínum.
23 Allar skipanir hans hefi ég fyrir augum og frá boðorðum hans hefi ég ekki vikið.
24 Ég var lýtalaus fyrir honum og gætti mín við misgjörðum.
25 Drottinn galt mér eftir réttlæti mínu, eftir hreinleik handa minna fyrir augliti hans.
26 Gagnvart ástríkum ert þú ástríkur, gagnvart ráðvöndum ráðvandur,
27 gagnvart hreinum hreinn, en gagnvart rangsnúnum ert þú afundinn.
28 Þú hjálpar þjáðum lýð, en gjörir alla hrokafulla niðurlúta.
29 Já, þú ert lampi minn, Drottinn, Guð minn lýsir mér í myrkrinu.
30 Fyrir þína hjálp hleyp ég yfir virkisgrafir, fyrir hjálp Guðs míns stekk ég yfir borgarveggi.
31 Vegur Guðs er lýtalaus, orð Drottins er skírt. Skjöldur er hann öllum þeim, sem leita hælis hjá honum.
32 Því að hver er Guð, nema Drottinn, og hver er hellubjarg, utan vor Guð?
33 Sá Guð, sem gyrðir mig styrkleika og gjörir veg minn sléttan.
34 Hann gjörir fætur mína sem hindanna og veitir mér fótfestu á hæðunum.
35 Hann æfir hendur mínar til hernaðar, svo að armar mínir benda eirbogann.
36 Þú gafst mér skjöld hjálpræðis þíns, og lítillæti þitt gjörði mig mikinn.
37 Þú rýmdir til fyrir skrefum mínum og ökklar mínir riðuðu ekki.
38 Ég elti óvini mína og náði þeim, og sneri ekki aftur fyrr en ég hafði gjöreytt þeim.
39 Ég gjöreyddi þeim og molaði þá sundur, svo að þeir risu ekki upp framar og hnigu undir fætur mér.
40 Þú gyrtir mig styrkleika til ófriðarins, beygðir fjendur mína undir mig.
41 Þú lést mig sjá bak óvina minna, þeim eyddi ég, sem hata mig.
42 Þeir hrópuðu, en enginn kom til hjálpar, þeir hrópuðu til Drottins, en hann svaraði þeim ekki.
43 Ég muldi þá sem mold á jörð, tróð þá fótum sem skarn á strætum.
44 Þú frelsaðir mig úr fólkorustum, gjörðir mig að höfðingja þjóðanna. Lýður, sem ég þekkti ekki, þjónar mér.
45 Framandi menn smjaðra fyrir mér, óðara en þeir heyra mín getið, hlýða þeir mér.
46 Framandi menn dragast upp og koma skjálfandi fram úr fylgsnum sínum.
47 Lifi Drottinn, lofað sé mitt bjarg, og hátt upp hafinn sé Guð hjálpræðis míns!
48 Þú Guð, sem veittir mér hefndir og braust þjóðir undir mig,
49 sem hreifst mig úr höndum óvina minna og hófst mig yfir mótstöðumenn mína. Frá ójafnaðarmönnum frelsaðir þú mig.
50 Fyrir því vil ég vegsama þig, Drottinn, meðal þjóðanna og lofsyngja þínu nafni.
51 Hann veitir konungi sínum mikla hjálp og auðsýnir miskunn sínum smurða, Davíð og niðjum hans að eilífu.
2 Samuel 22
New International Version
2 Samuel 22
New International Version
David’s Song of Praise(A)
22 David sang(B) to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said:
“The Lord is my rock,(C) my fortress(D) and my deliverer;(E)
3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,(F)
my shield[a](G) and the horn[b](H) of my salvation.
He is my stronghold,(I) my refuge and my savior—
from violent people you save me.
4 “I called to the Lord, who is worthy(J) of praise,
and have been saved from my enemies.
5 The waves(K) of death swirled about me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
6 The cords of the grave(L) coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
7 “In my distress(M) I called(N) to the Lord;
I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came to his ears.
8 The earth(O) trembled and quaked,(P)
the foundations(Q) of the heavens[c] shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire(R) came from his mouth,
burning coals(S) blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds(T) were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim(U) and flew;
he soared[d] on the wings of the wind.(V)
12 He made darkness(W) his canopy around him—
the dark[e] rain clouds of the sky.
13 Out of the brightness of his presence
bolts of lightning(X) blazed forth.
14 The Lord thundered(Y) from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot his arrows(Z) and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
16 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke(AA) of the Lord,
at the blast(AB) of breath from his nostrils.
17 “He reached down from on high(AC) and took hold of me;
he drew(AD) me out of deep waters.
18 He rescued(AE) me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.(AF)
20 He brought me out into a spacious(AG) place;
he rescued(AH) me because he delighted(AI) in me.(AJ)
21 “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(AK)
according to the cleanness(AL) of my hands(AM) he has rewarded me.
22 For I have kept(AN) the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
23 All his laws are before me;(AO)
I have not turned(AP) away from his decrees.
24 I have been blameless(AQ) before him
and have kept myself from sin.
25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(AR)
according to my cleanness[f] in his sight.
26 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27 to the pure(AS) you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(AT)
28 You save the humble,(AU)
but your eyes are on the haughty(AV) to bring them low.(AW)
29 You, Lord, are my lamp;(AX)
the Lord turns my darkness into light.
30 With your help I can advance against a troop[g];
with my God I can scale a wall.
31 “As for God, his way is perfect:(AY)
The Lord’s word is flawless;(AZ)
he shields(BA) all who take refuge in him.
32 For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock(BB) except our God?(BC)
33 It is God who arms me with strength[h]
and keeps my way secure.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(BD)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(BE)
35 He trains my hands(BF) for battle;
my arms can bend a bow(BG) of bronze.
36 You make your saving help my shield;(BH)
your help has made[i] me great.
37 You provide a broad path(BI) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 I crushed(BJ) them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
40 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.(BK)
41 You made my enemies turn their backs(BL) in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
42 They cried for help,(BM) but there was no one to save them—(BN)
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(BO)
43 I beat them as fine as the dust(BP) of the earth;
I pounded and trampled(BQ) them like mud(BR) in the streets.
44 “You have delivered(BS) me from the attacks of the peoples;
you have preserved(BT) me as the head of nations.
People(BU) I did not know now serve me,
45 foreigners cower(BV) before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.(BW)
46 They all lose heart;
they come trembling[j](BX) from their strongholds.
47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted(BY) be my God, the Rock, my Savior!(BZ)
48 He is the God who avenges(CA) me,(CB)
who puts the nations under me,
49 who sets me free from my enemies.(CC)
You exalted me(CD) above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises(CE) of your name.(CF)
