22:1 ダビデは、主がすべての敵の手から、またサウルの手から彼を救い出された日に、次の言葉をもって主に歌をささげた。

22:2 主はわたしの岩、砦、逃れ場

22:3 わたしの神、大岩、避けどころ／わたしの盾、救いの角、砦の塔。わたしを逃れさせ、わたしに勝利を与え／不法から救ってくださる方。

22:4 ほむべき方、主をわたしは呼び求め／敵から救われる。

22:5 死の波がわたしを囲み／奈落の激流がわたしをおののかせ

22:6 陰府の縄がめぐり／死の網が仕掛けられている。

22:7 苦難の中から主を呼び求め／わたしの神を呼び求めると／その声は神殿に響き／叫びは御耳に届く。

22:8 主の怒りに地は揺れ動き／天の基は震え、揺らぐ。

22:9 御怒りに煙は噴き上がり／御口の火は焼き尽くし、炭火となって燃えさかる。

22:10 主は天を傾けて降り／密雲を足もとに従え

22:11 ケルビムを駆って飛び／風の翼に乗って現れる。

22:12 周りに闇を置き／暗い雨雲、立ち込める霧を幕屋とされる。

22:13 御前の輝きの中から炭火が燃え上がる。

22:14 主は天から雷鳴をとどろかせ／いと高き神は御声をあげられる。

22:15 主の矢は飛び交い／稲妻は散乱する。

22:16 主の叱咤に海の底は姿を現し／主の怒りの息に世界はその基を示す。

22:17 主は高い天から御手を伸ばしてわたしをとらえ／大水の中から引き上げてくださる。

22:18 敵は力があり／わたしを憎む者は勝ち誇っているが／なお、主はわたしを救い出される。

22:19 彼らが攻め寄せる災いの日／主はわたしの支えとなり

22:20 わたしを広い所に導き出し、助けとなり／喜び迎えてくださる。

ＴＥＶ Ⅱサム22:1-20

22:1 When the Lord saved David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang this song to the Lord:

22:2 The Lord is my protector; /he is my strong fortress.

22:3 My God is my protection, /and with him I am safe. /He protects me like a shield; /he defends me and keeps me safe. /He is my savior; /he protects me and saves me from violence.

22:4 I call to the Lord, /and he saves me from my enemies. /Praise the Lord!

22:5 The waves of death were all around me; /the waves of destruction rolled over me.

22:6 The danger of death was around me, /and the grave set its trap for me.

22:7 In my trouble I called to the Lord; /I called to my God for help. /In his temple he heard my voice; /he listened to my cry for help.

22:8 Then the earth trembled and shook; /the foundations of the sky rocked and quivered /because God was angry!

22:9 Smoke poured out of his nostrils, /a consuming flame and burning coals from his mouth.

22:10 He tore the sky open and came down, /with a dark cloud under his feet.

22:11 He flew swiftly on his winged creature; /he traveled on the wings of the wind.

22:12 He covered himself with darkness; /thick clouds, full of water, surrounded him;

22:13 burning coals flamed up from the lightning before him.

22:14 Then the Lord thundered from the sky, /and the voice of Almighty God was heard.

22:15 He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; /with flashes of lightning he sent them running.

22:16 The floor of the ocean was laid bare, /and the foundations of the earth were uncovered /when the Lord rebuked his enemies /and roared at them in anger.

22:17 The Lord reached down from above and took hold of me; /he pulled me out of the deep waters.

22:18 He rescued me from my powerful enemies /and from all those who hate me- /they were too strong for me.

22:19 When I was in trouble, they attacked me, /but the Lord protected me.

22:20 He helped me out of danger; /he saved me because he was pleased with me.
