WORD Research this...2 Samuel 22
- 1 And David made a song to the Lord in these words, on the day when the Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul:
- 2 And he said, The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour, even mine;
- 3 My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.
- 4 I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.
- 5 For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear;
- 6 The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.
- 7 In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears.
- 8 Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.
- 9 There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.
- 10 The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.
- 11 And he went through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.
- 12 And he made the dark his tent round him, a mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
- 13 Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire.
- 14 The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out.
- 15 And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.
- 16 Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord's wrath, because of the breath of his mouth.
- 17 He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.
- 18 He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.
- 19 They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support.
- 20 He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.
- 21 The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.
- 22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.
- 23 For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.
- 24 And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
- 25 Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.
- 26 On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;
- 27 He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.
- 28 For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but your eyes are on men of pride, to make them low.
- 29 For you are my light, O Lord; and the Lord will make the dark bright for me.
- 30 By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.
- 31 As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him.
- 32 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a Rock but our God?
- 33 God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.
- 34 He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.
- 35 He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.
- 36 You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.
- 37 You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip.
- 38 I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.
- 39 I have sent destruction on them and given them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.
- 40 For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me.
- 41 By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.
- 42 They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.
- 43 Then they were crushed as small as the dust of the earth, stamped down under my feet like the waste of the streets.
- 44 You have made me free from the fightings of my people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.
- 45 Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.
- 46 They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.
- 47 The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured:
- 48 It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.
- 49 He makes me free from my haters: I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.
- 50 Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.
- 51 Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.

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.
