me; The floods
of ungodliness

, And my cry `came'
into
his ears.

And
were shaken ,
because he was
wroth
.

of
his mouth devoured:
Coals were
kindled
by
it
.

was
under
his feet.

seen
upon
the wings of the wind.

his
voice

, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

waters ;

down
from on high and

me;
for

were
too mighty for me.

eyes are upon
the haughty ,

thou
mayest
bring them down.

lamp
, O Jehovah
; And

my darkness.

, O LORD,
are
my
lamp

thee
I run
upon
a
troop
; By
my God do
I leap
over
a wall.
For in
You
I can
charge
an
army
; with
my God I can
scale
a wall.

He is a shield unto
all them
that
take refuge in him.

? And who is a
rock ,
save

the
perfect
in

me great

my
steps
under
me ;
And
my feet
have
not slipped
.
You
broaden
the
path
beneath
me so
that
my ankles
do
not give
way
.
I have
pursued mine
enemies ,
and destroyed them; Neither
did
I turn again
till
they were consumed.

enemies and destroyed them; I did
not

they cannot
arise:
Yea,
they are
fallen under my feet.

and crushed
them so they could
not
rise;

me with strength unto
the
battle; Thou

subdued under
me
those
that
rose
up
against
me.

That
I might
cut
off
them
that
hate
me.
You
have
made my
enemies retreat
before
me ;
I put
an
end
to
those
who
hated
me.

to save ;
Even
unto
Jehovah
, but he answered
them
not.
They looked, but there was no
one
to save them—
to
the
LORD
, but He did
not answer
.
Then
did
I beat
them small
as the dust of the earth ,
I did
crush
them as
the
mire
of
the streets ,
and
did
spread
them
abroad
.
I ground
them as the dust of the earth ;
I crushed
and
trampled
them like
mud
in
the streets.

also
hast
delivered me from the strivings
of my people; Thou
hast
kept
me to
be
the head of the
nations :
A people whom
I have
not known shall serve me.
You
have
delivered me from the strife
of my people; You
have
preserved
me as
the head of nations ;
a people I had
not known shall serve me.
The
foreigners shall
submit
themselves
unto
me :
As
soon
as
they hear of
me, they shall
obey me.
Foreigners cower
before
me ;
when
they hear me, they obey me.
The
foreigners shall
fade
away,
And shall
come trembling out
of
their close
places
.
Foreigners lose
heart
and come trembling from
their strongholds
.
Jehovah
liveth;
And blessed be my rock ;
And exalted
be
God, the rock of my salvation,
The
LORD
lives,
and blessed be my Rock !
And may
God, the Rock of my salvation, be
exalted—
Even
the God that
executeth
vengeance
for
me ,
And that
bringeth
down peoples
under
me,
the God who
avenges
me and brings
down nations
beneath
me,
And
that
bringeth
me forth
from mine
enemies :
Yea,
thou
liftest
me up
above them
that
rise
up
against
me
; Thou
deliverest
me from the
violent man
.
who
frees
me from my
enemies .
You
exalt
me above my
foes
; You
rescue
me from violent men
.
Therefore I will give
thanks
unto
thee
, O Jehovah
, among the nations ,
And
will sing praises unto
thy
name.
Therefore I will praise
You
, O LORD
, among the nations ;
I
will sing praises to
Your
name.
Great deliverance
giveth
he to his king ,
And
showeth
lovingkindness
to his anointed, To David and to
his seed,
for
evermore
.
Great salvation
He brings
to His king .
He
shows
loving
devotion
to His anointed, to David and his descendants
forever
. ”
