    2 Samuel 22
    • 1   And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
    • 2   And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
    • 3   The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
    • 4   I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
    • 5   When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
    • 6   The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
    • 7   In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
    • 8   Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
    • 9   There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
    • 10   He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
    • 11   And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
    • 12   And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
    • 13   Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
    • 14   The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
    • 15   And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
    • 16   And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
    • 17   He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
    • 18   He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
    • 19   They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
    • 20   He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
    • 21   The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
    • 22   For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
    • 23   For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
    • 24   I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
    • 25   Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
    • 26   With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
    • 27   With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
    • 28   And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
    • 29   For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness.
    • 30   For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
    • 31   As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
    • 32   For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?
    • 33   God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
    • 34   He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
    • 35   He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
    • 36   Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
    • 37   Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
    • 38   I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
    • 39   And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
    • 40   For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
    • 41   Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
    • 42   They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
    • 43   Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
    • 44   Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
    • 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.
    • 48   It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
    • 49   And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
    • 50   Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
    • 51   He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
