Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 22:3:

  • Kupsabiny: “God is my rock-cave.
    He saves/protects me.
    God is my shield,
    and I trust in him so that he may rescue me.
    I take refuge in my hill, oh,
    God is my hill, oh please.
    You are the one who rescues me, oh my God,
    you who rescued me from the battle/war, really.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “My God is like my rock for me,
    who protects me.
    He is my shield,
    the power of my salvation,
    He is my stronghold,
    the place I take refuge.
    you are my savior,
    you save me from violent people.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “This is his song:
    ‘You (sing.), LORD, are my rock/stone of refuge,
    my strong/firm place-of-hiding and the-one-who-delivers.
    As a rock/stone of refuge, I can-hide in you (sing.).
    You (sing.) are my shield and powerful/mighty savior.
    You (sing.) are my place-to-take-refuge and place-of-hiding.
    You (sing.) are the one-who-saves me from cruel people.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield;
    you are the powerful one who saves me;
    you are like a place where I find refuge/am safe.
    You save me from those who act violently toward me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
