2 Samuel 22:1-51 David’s Son to the Lord God, When He saved David from His Enemies

David’s Son to the Lord God, When He saved David from His Enemies

2 Samuel 22:1-51      The Book of 2 Samuel [in Smaller Chunks]

David [spoke] the words of this song to the Lord [God,] [on] the day that the Lord delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, & out of the hand of Saul. And [king David] said, The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, & my deliverer.

* My God [is] my Rock, & I will trust in Him. He is my shield, & the horn of my Salvation, my high tower, my refuge, & my [Savior.] You [saved] me from violence. [*Luke 1:68-70 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He has visited, & redeemed His people, & has raised up a horn of Salvation for us in the house of His servant, David; [like] He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, [who] have been since the world began.]

I will call on the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised: so I shall be saved from [my] enemies. When the waves of death [encircled] me, & the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; the sorrows of hell [surrounded all around] me; & the [traps] of death [confronted] me. I called to the Lord & cried [out] to my God, in my distress, & He [heard] my voice out of His temple, & my [out] cry [entered] His ears.

Then, the earth shook & trembled; & the foundations of heaven moved & shook, because He was [angry.] Smoke went up [from] His nostrils there, & fire [from] His mouth devoured, & coals were kindled, [a.k.a. lit,] by it.

[Hebrews 12:28-29 [For this reason,] we [receive] a kingdom [that] can’t be [removed.] Let us have grace, [by which] we may serve God acceptably with reverence, & Godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.]

He also [bent] the heavens [down,] & also came down; & darkness was under His feet. And He rode upon a cherub, [& flew,] & He was seen upon the wings of the wind. [Exodus 20:21-23 And the people stood [far away,] & Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

And the Lord said to Moses, You shall say [this] to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. You shall not make [for] Me gods of silver, & neither shall you make [yourselves] gods of gold.]

And [the Lord God] made [the dark] pavilions [covering] [all around] Him, dark waters, & thick clouds [in] the skies. Through the brightness before Him, coals of fire were [ignited.]

The Lord thundered from heaven, & the Most High uttered His voice. He sent out arrows, & scattered [the enemy,] [with] lightning, & [defeated] them. And at: the [rebuke] of the Lord, & the blast of breath [from] His nostrils, the channels of the sea appeared, & the foundations of the world were discovered.

[Exodus 15:8-10 And with the blast of Your nostrils, the waters were gathered together. The [flood waters] stood upright [like a] heap, & the depths were congealed, [a.k.a. changed from liquid form to solid,] in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, & I will overtake [them.] I will divide the [plunder.] My lusts shall be satisfied upon them. I will draw my sword, & my hand shall destroy them. You [blew] with your wind, & the sea covered them. They sank [like] lead in the mighty waters.]

He sent from above, & [the Lord God,] took me; & He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from: my strong [enemies, & those who] hated me, [because] they were too strong for me. They [confronted] me [on] the day of my calamity; but the Lord was my [strong support.]

He also brought me [out] into a large place, & He delivered me, because He delighted in me. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness, & He [has repaid] me according to the cleanness of my hands.

For I have kept the [Lord’s] ways, & haven’t departed wickedly from my God. For all His judgments were before me, & I didn’t depart from His [mandates.] I was also upright before Him, & have kept myself from [my] iniquity. Therefore, the Lord [has rewarded] me according to: my righteousness; & my cleanness in His sight.

With [those who are] merciful, You, [will show] Yourself, merciful. And with the upright man, You [will show] Yourself, upright.  With [those who are] pure, You, [will show] Yourself, pure.

With [those who are] [devious,] You, [will show] Yourself [as] [shrewd.] You [will] save the afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the [arrogant, & proud, so] You [may] bring them down, [a.k.a. humble them.]

For You [are] my Lamp, O Lord, & the Lord [God] will [turn my darkness into light.] For by You, my God, You have [allowed] [me] to run through a troop, & to leap over a wall. For [God’s] way is perfect; & the Word of the Lord is [tested.]

[The Lord God is a shield] to all [those who] trust in Him. For Who is God [except for] the Lord? Who is a Rock, [except for] our God? God is my strength & power; & He makes my [ways] perfect.

He [makes] my feet like [the hind feet of deer,] & [puts] me upon my high places. [The Lord God teaches] my hands [how] to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by [my] arms. You [have] also given me the shield of Your Salvation; & Your gentleness [has] made me great.

You [have] enlarged [the path] under me, so that my feet don’t slip. I have pursued & destroyed [my] enemies; & [I didn’t] [return] [back] again, until I had consumed them. And I have wounded them, & have [destroyed] them, [so] that they couldn’t arise.

[Yes,] they [have] fallen under my feet. For You [have strapped] me with strength [for] battle. [Those who] rose up against me, You [have put] under [my control.] Also, You [have] given me the necks of [my] enemies, so I might destroy [those who] hate me.

[Psalm 44:5-7 Through You, we will push down our enemies. Through Your Name, we will [trample those] under [who] rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, & neither shall my sword save me. But You have saved us from our enemies, & have put them to shame [who] hated us.]

They looked, but there was [no one] to save [them; & they] even [looked] to the Lord, but He [didn’t] answer them. Then, I beat them as [fine] as the dust of the earth. I [stomped] [on] them, [like] the [mud] of the street, & spread them [around.]

You [have] also delivered me from [the disputes] of my people. You [have] kept me to be [in charge over] the heathen: a people which I [didn’t know,] shall serve Me. [Romans 10:9-13 That if you shall confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, & shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

For with the heart, man believes [leading to] righteousness, & with the mouth, confession is made [leading to] Salvation. For the scripture says, [Whoever] believes [in] Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew, & the Greek, [a.k.a. Gentile;] for the same Lord over all is rich to all [who] call upon Him. For [whoever] shall call upon the Name of the. Lord, shall be saved.]

Strangers, [a.k.a. Foreigners,] shall [bow] themselves to Me; & as soon as they hear [about Me,] they shall [obey] Me. [Foreigners] shall [hide] away, & they shall be afraid [to come] out of their [hiding] places.

The Lord [Lives,] & blessed be my Rock; & exalted be the God, the Rock of my Salvation. It is God [Who avenges] me, & [brings] down the people under me. And [Who brings] me [out] from [my] enemies.

You [have] also lifted me up on high above [those who] rose up against me. You [have] delivered me from the violent [men.] Therefore, I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the heathen, & I will sing praises to Your Name.

*[The Lord God] is the tower of Salvation for [me,] His king, & [displays] mercy to David, His anointed, & to his seed, [a.k.a. offspring, & descendants,] forever more. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the offspring of David & the Bright & Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him [who] hears say, Come. And let him [who is thirsty,] come. And [whoever] [is] [willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.]
