GOD in the Old Testament - 2 Samuel - Part 15

2 Samuel 22:7  (continued) 

    "In my distress I called to the LORD;

        I called out to my God.

    From his temple he heard my voice;

        my cry came to his ears."

 

2 Samuel 22:22  

    "For I have kept the ways of the LORD;

        I am not guilty of turning from my God."

 

2 Samuel 22:30-33  

    "With your help I can advance against a troop;

        with my God I can scale a wall." 

 

    "As for God his way is perfect:

        The LORD's word is flawless;

        he shields all who take refuge in him.

    For who is God besides the LORD?

        And who is the Rock except our God?

    It is God who arms me with strength

        and keeps my way secure."

 

2 Samuel 22:47-49  

    "The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!

        Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!

    He is the God who avenges me,

        who puts the nations under me,

        who sets me free from my enemies.

    You exalted me above my foes;

        from a violent man you rescued me."

(see all 2 Samuel 22)

 

2 Samuel 23:1  

    These are the last words of David:

 

    "The inspired utterance of David son of Jesse,

        the utterance of the man exalted by the Most High,

    the man anointed by the God of Jacob,

        the hero of Israel's songs: ...

 

2 Samuel 23:3-5  

    "The God of Israel spoke,

        the Rock of Israel said to me:

    'When one rules over people in righteousness,

        when he rules in the fear of God,

    he is like the light of morning at sunrise

        on a cloudless morning,

    like the brightness after rain

        that brings grass from the earth.'

 

    "If my house were not right with God,

        surely he would not have made with me an 

            everlasting covenant,

        arranged and secured every part;

    surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation

        and grant me my every desire."

(see all 2 Samuel 23)

 

2 Samuel 24:3  

    But Joab replied to the king, "May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?"

 

2 Samuel 24:24  

    But the king replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing."

(see all 2 Samuel 24)
