2 Samuel 22:45–47

45 foreigners cower before me;

as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

46 They all lose heart;

they come trembling from their strongholds.

47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!

Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!

45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me:

As soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

46 Strangers shall fade away,

And they shall be afraid out of their close places.

47 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock;

And exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

45 Foreign nations cringe before me;

as soon as they hear of me, they submit.

46 They all lose their courage

and come trembling from their strongholds.

47 “The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock!

May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted!

45 The foreigners submit to me;

As soon as they hear, they obey me.

46 The foreigners fade away,

And come frightened from their hideouts.

47 “The Lord lives!

Blessed be my Rock!

Let God be exalted,

The Rock of my salvation!

45 Foreigners obey me.

As soon as they hear me, they obey me.

46 They all become afraid

and tremble in their hiding places.

47 “The Lord lives!

May my Rock be praised!

Praise God, the Rock, who saves me!

45 The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me:

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

46 The foreigners shall fade away,

And shall come trembling out of their close places.

47 Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock;

And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

45 Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me. 46 Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places. 47 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God, the rock of my salvation,

45 Foreigners will cringe in front of me. 

As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me. 

46 Foreigners will lose heart, 

although they are armedin their fortifications. 

47 The Lord lives! 

Thanks be to my rock! 

May God, the rock of my salvation, be glorified. 

45 Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;

as soon as they hear, they obey me.

46 Foreigners lose heart

and come trembling from their fortifications.

47 The Lord lives—may my rock be praised!

God, the rock of my salvation, is exalted.

45 Foreigners came cringing to me;

as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

46 Foreigners lost heart

and came trembling out of their strongholds.

47 The Lord lives! Blessed be my rock,

and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,

45 Children of a foreign land came cringing to me;

when they heard of me, they became obedient to me.

46 Children of a foreign land lost heart

and came trembling from their strongholds.

47 Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock!

May God, the rock of my salvation, be exalted!

45 People from other lands bow down to me in fear.

As soon as they hear me, they obey me.

46 All of them give up hope.

They come trembling out of their hiding places.

47 “The Lord lives! Give praise to my Rock!

Give honor to God, the Rock! He is my Savior!

45 “Foreigners pretend obedience to me;

As soon as they hear, they obey me.

46 “Foreigners lose heart,

And come trembling out of their fortresses.

47 “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock;

And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
