2 Samuel 22 1-2 Samuel 22 51
Then David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day when the Lord had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.And he said:“ The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.“ When the waves of death surrounded me, The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry entered His ears.“ Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry.Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it.He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet.He rode upon a cherub, and flew; And He was seen upon the wings of the wind.He made darkness canopies around Him, Dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled.“ The Lord thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice.He sent out arrows and scattered them; Lightning bolts, and He vanquished them.Then the channels of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered, At the rebuke of the Lord, At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.“ He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; For they were too strong for me.They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my support.He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.“ The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.For I have kept the ways of the Lord, And have not wickedly departed from my God.For all His judgments were before me; And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.I was also blameless before Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in His eyes.“ With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.You will save the humble people; But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.“ For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.“ For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect.He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.“ You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.You enlarged my path under me; So my feet did not slip.“ I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.And I have destroyed them and wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose against me.You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me.They looked, but there was none to save; Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trod them like dirt in the streets, And I spread them out.“ You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me as the head of the nations. A people I have not known shall serve me.The foreigners submit to me; As soon as they hear, they obey me.The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.“ The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let God be exalted, The Rock of my salvation!It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me;He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.“ He is the tower of salvation to His king, And shows mercy to His anointed, To David and his descendants forevermore.”

Isaiah 12:1-6
And in that day you will say:“ O Lord, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid;‘ For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’”Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation.And in that day you will say:“ Praise the Lord, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted.Sing to the Lord, For He has done excellent things; This is known in all the earth.Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!”

1 Samuel 2 1-1 Samuel 2 10
And Hannah prayed and said:“ My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.“ No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.“ Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.“ The bows of the mighty men are broken, And those who stumbled are girded with strength.Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, And the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, And she who has many children has become feeble.“ The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up.The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory.“ For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, And He has set the world upon them.He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.“ For by strength no man shall prevail.The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.“ He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed.”

I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications.Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.Then I called upon the name of the Lord:“ O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

Exodus 15:1-21
Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:“ I will sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name.Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.The depths have covered them; They sank to the bottom like a stone.“ Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.And in the greatness of Your excellence You have overthrown those who rose against You; You sent forth Your wrath; It consumed them like stubble.And with the blast of Your nostrils The waters were gathered together; The floods stood upright like a heap; The depths congealed in the heart of the sea.The enemy said,‘ I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied on 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.“ Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?You stretched out Your right hand; The earth swallowed them.You in Your mercy have led forth The people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength To Your holy habitation.“ The people will hear and be afraid; Sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed; The mighty men of Moab, Trembling will take hold of them; All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.Fear and dread will fall on them; By the greatness of Your arm They will be as still as a stone, Till Your people pass over, O Lord, Till the people pass over Whom You have purchased.You will bring them in and plant them In the mountain of Your inheritance, In the place, O Lord, which You have made For Your own dwelling, The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.“ The Lord shall reign forever and ever.”For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.And Miriam answered them:“ Sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”

Judges 5:1-31
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying:“ When leaders lead in Israel, When the people willingly offer themselves, Bless the Lord!“ Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I, even I, will sing to the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.“ Lord, when You went out from Seir, When You marched from the field of Edom, The earth trembled and the heavens poured, The clouds also poured water;The mountains gushed before the Lord, This Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.“ In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, In the days of Jael, The highways were deserted, And the travelers walked along the byways.Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, Until I, Deborah, arose, Arose a mother in Israel.They chose new gods; Then there was war in the gates; Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.My heart is with the rulers of Israel Who offered themselves willingly with the people. Bless the Lord!“ Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, Who sit in judges’ attire, And who walk along the road.Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places, There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord, The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel; Then the people of the Lord shall go down to the gates.“ Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away, O son of Abinoam!“ Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles; The Lord came down for me against the mighty.From Ephraim were those whose roots were in Amalek. After you, Benjamin, with your peoples, From Machir rulers came down, And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter’s staff.And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As Issachar, so was Barak Sent into the valley under his command; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, To hear the pipings for the flocks? The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan, And why did Dan remain on ships? Asher continued at the seashore, And stayed by his inlets.Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.“ The kings came and fought, Then the kings of Canaan fought In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoils of silver.They fought from the heavens; The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, march on in strength!Then the horses’ hooves pounded, The galloping, galloping of his steeds.‘ Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord,‘ Curse its inhabitants bitterly, Because they did not come to the help of the Lord, To the help of the Lord against the mighty.’“ Most blessed among women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed is she among women in tents.He asked for water, she gave milk; She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.She stretched her hand to the tent peg, Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head, She split and struck through his temple.At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; At her feet he sank, he fell; Where he sank, there he fell dead.“ The mother of Sisera looked through the window, And cried out through the lattice,‘ Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?’Her wisest ladies answered her, Yes, she answered herself,‘ Are they not finding and dividing the spoil: To every man a girl or two; For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments, Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed, Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’“ Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But let those who love Him be like the sun When it comes out in full strength.” So the land had rest for forty years.
