2 Samuel 22 And Dauid spake the wordes of thys songe vnto the Lorde, what tyme the Lorde had delyuered him out of the hande of all his enemyes, and out of the hande of Saul.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Dauid spake the wordes of thys songe vnto the Lorde, what tyme the Lorde had delyuered him out of the hande of all his enemyes, and out of the hande of Saul. ² And he sayde: the Lorde is my rocke, and my castel, and my delyuerer. ³ God is my strength, in him will I trust: he is my shylde, and the horne of my saluacyon: my worshyp and my refuge: my sauiour, thou shalt saue me from wronge. ⁴ I will call on the Lorde which is prayse worthy, and so shall I be saued from myne enemyes. ⁵ For the corrupcyons of deeth closed me about: the floudes of Belial put me in feare. ⁶ The sorowes of hell compassed me about: the snares of deeth ouertoke me. ⁷ In my tribulacyon will I call vpon the Lorde, and crye to my God. And he shall heare my voyce out of his temple, and my crye shall enter into his eares. ⁸ The erth trimbled and quaked: the foundacyons of heuen moued and shoke, whan he was angrye. ⁹ Smoke went vp in his wrath, and consumynge fyre out of hys mouth, coles were kendled therof. ¹⁰ And he bowed heuen, and came downe, and there was darcknesse vnder his fete. ¹¹ And he satt vpon Cherub & dyd flye he was sene caryed vpon the wynges of the wynde. ¹² He made darcknesse a tabernacle rounde about hym, with waters geathered to geather in thycke cloudes. ¹³ Thorowe the bryghtnesse of his presence were the fyre coles kyndled. ¹⁴ God thundred from heuen, and he that is most hye, doth put out his voyce. ¹⁵ He shotte arowes, and skatered them: he hurled lyghtenynge, and ouerthrewe them. ¹⁶ The flowinges of the see appered, and the foundacyons of the worlde were sene, by the reason of the rebukinge of the Lorde, and thorowe the blastynge of the breeth of hys nostrelles. ¹⁷ He shall sende from heauen, and fett me, he shall plucke me out of many waters. ¹⁸ He shall delyuer me from my myghtye aduersarye, and fro myne enemyes, for they are to stronge for me. ¹⁹ When they had ouertaken me in the daye of my calamytye the Lorde stayed me vp. ²⁰ For he brought me out into rowmth: he delyuered me, because he had a loue vnto me. ²¹ The Lord will rewarde me accordinge to my ryghtwysnesse: accordynge to the purenesse of my handes will he recompense me. ²² For I haue kept the wayes of the Lorde, & done no wyckednesse agaynst my God. ²³ For all his lawes are in my syght, & his statutes wyll not I put awaye fro me. ²⁴ In his syght also haue I bene vndefyled, & haue kepte me fro myne awne iniquite. ²⁵ And the Lorde dyd to me agayne, accordynge to my ryghtwesnes, euen after my purenesse in his eyesyght. ²⁶ Wyth the godly thou shalt be godly, and wt the man that is vncorrupt, thou shalt be vncorrupt. ²⁷ With the pure thou shalt be pure, & with the frowarde thou shalt be frowarde. ²⁸ And the pore people that are in aduersyte, thou shalt helpe. And on the proude shalt thou cast thine eyes. ²⁹ Thou art my light O Lorde: the Lorde shall lyght my darknesse. ³⁰ For with thy helpe I will runne thorowe an Hoste of men, and in my God wyll I sprynge ouer a walle ³¹ God is vncorrupt in his waye: the worde of the Lorde is tryed in the fyre: he is the defender of all them that trust in him. ³² For who is a God, saue the Lorde? & who is myghtie, saue oure God? ³³ God strengtheth me with power, and ryddyth the waye in battell cleare before me. ³⁴ He maketh my fete lyke hartes fete, & setteth me fast vpon my hye holde. ³⁵ He teacheth my handes to fyght, that euen a bowe of stele is to weake for myne armes. ³⁶ Thou hast geuen me the shild of thy saluacyon, and with thy louinge mekenesse thou dost multiplie me. ³⁷ Thou shalt make me space to walke in, and my legges shall not fayle me. ³⁸ I wyll folowe vpon myne enemyes and destroye them, and turne not agayne vntyll I haue consumed them. ³⁹ I will waste them and smyte them, that they shall not be able to aryse: yee, they shall fall vnder my fete. ⁴⁰ Thou hast gyrded me about with myght to battell, and them that roase agaynst me, hast thou subdued vnder me. ⁴¹ And thou madest myne enemyes (& them that hated me) to turne their backes to me, that I myght destroye them. ⁴² They loke for helpe, but there is none to saue them: Yee, euen vnto the Lorde do they crye, but he heareth them not. ⁴³ I will beate them as smalle as the dust of the erth: I will stampe them as the dyrte of the strete, and will spreade them abroade. ⁴⁴ Thou shalt delyuer me from the dissencyon of my people: thou shalt kepe me to be an heed ouer nacyons: the people whych I knewe not, shall serue me. ⁴⁵ Straunge children dissemble with me. At the hearynge of the eare they obeye me. ⁴⁶ Straunge chyldren will shryncke awaye, and they shalbe smytten with feare in their preuye chamber. ⁴⁷ God is a lyue, and blessed be my maker: magnifyed be God, my most stronge saluacion. ⁴⁸ It is God that aduengeth me, and bryngeth downe the people vnder me. ⁴⁹ He delyuereth me fro myne enemyes, thou also shalt lyfte me vpon hye from them that ryse agaynst me, thou shalt delyuer me from the wicked men. ⁵⁰ And therfore I will prayse the (O Lorde) amonge the nacyons, and wyll synge vnto thy name. ⁵¹ Whych sheweth greate saluacyon for his kynge, and dealeth mercyfully with his anoynted: euen wyth Dauid, and wyth his sede for euermore.
