Of

who
sang
this
song
to
the
LORD
on
the
day
the
LORD
had
delivered
him
from
the
hand
of
all
his
enemies
and
from
the
hand
of
Saul.
He
said:
I love You
, O LORD, my strength.

my fortress, and my deliverer ;
my God ,
my strength
, in whom I will
trust;
my buckler
, and the horn of my salvation, and
my high
tower
.

enemies.

The sorrows
of death compassed
me ,
and
the floods
of ungodly
men
made
me afraid
.
The cords
of death encompassed
me ;
the torrents
of chaos
overwhelmed
me.
The sorrows
of hell
compassed
me about:
the snares of death prevented
me.
The cords
of Sheol
entangled
me ;
the snares of death confronted
me.
In my distress I called upon the LORD ,
and
cried unto
my God :
he heard my voice out
of
his
temple
, and my cry came
before
him,
even
into
his ears.

Then the earth shook and trembled;
the foundations also
of the hills
moved
and
were shaken ,
because he was
wroth
.
Then the earth shook and quaked,
and
the foundations of the mountains
trembled;
they
were shaken because He burned
with

There
went
up
a
smoke out
of
his nostrils, and fire out
of
his mouth devoured:
coals were
kindled
by
it
.
Smoke rose
from
His nostrils, and consuming
fire came
from
His mouth ;
glowing
coals blazed
forth
.
He bowed
the heavens also,
and came down :
and
darkness
was
under
his feet.
He parted
the heavens and came down with
dark
clouds
beneath
His feet.
And
he rode
upon
a cherub ,
and did
fly:
yea,
he did
fly
upon
the wings of the wind.
He mounted
a cherub and flew;
He soared
on
the wings of the wind.
He made darkness his secret
place ;
his
pavilion
round
about
him
were
dark
waters
and thick
clouds of
the
skies
.
He made darkness His hiding
place ,
and storm
clouds a
canopy
around
Him
.
At
the brightness that
was
before
him
his thick
clouds passed,
hail
stones
and coals of fire.
From
the brightness of
His presence
His
clouds advanced—
hailstones
and coals of fire.

thundered in
the
heavens,
and
the Highest
gave
his
voice ;
hail
stones
and coals of fire.

heaven;
the voice of
the
Most
High
resounded—
hailstones

out
his arrows ,
and scattered them
; and
he shot
out
lightnings,
and discomfited
them.
He shot
His arrows and scattered the
foes
; He hurled
lightning
and routed
them.
Then
the channels of waters
were
seen
, and the foundations of the world were discovered
at thy
rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy
nostrils.
The channels of the
sea
appeared
, and the foundations of the world were exposed,
at Your
rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your
nostrils.
He sent
from above,
he
took me ,
he drew me out of many
waters.
He reached
down
from on
high
and
took hold
of
me ;
He drew me out of deep
waters.
He delivered
me from my strong
enemy, and
from them
which
hated
me:
for
they
were
too strong
for me.

enemy, from foes
too mighty

They prevented
me in the
day of my
calamity :
but the LORD was my stay

; he delivered
me ,
because he delighted in me.

into the
open
; He rescued
me because He delighted in me.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath
he
recompensed
me
.

were
before me ,
and
I did
not put
away
his statutes from
me
.

are
before me ;
I have
not disregarded
His statutes.
I was
also
upright
before him ,
and I
kept myself from mine
iniquity.
And
I have
been
blameless
before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
Therefore
hath
the LORD recompensed
me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight
.
So
the LORD has
repaid
me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight
.
With
the merciful
thou
wilt
shew
thyself
merciful;
with
an
upright
man
thou
wilt
shew
thyself
upright
;
To
the faithful
You
show
Yourself
faithful,
to
the
blameless
You
show
Yourself
blameless
;
With
the pure thou
wilt
shew
thyself
pure ;
and
with
the froward
thou
wilt
shew
thyself
froward
.
to
the pure You
show
Yourself
pure ,
but
to
the crooked
You
show
Yourself
shrewd
.
For thou
wilt
save the
afflicted people ;
but wilt
bring
down
high
looks
.
For You
save an
afflicted people ,
but You
humble
those
with
haughty
eyes
.
For thou
wilt
light my candle:
the
LORD
my God will
enlighten
my darkness.
For You,
O
LORD,
light my lamp;
my God lights
up
my darkness.
For by
thee
I have
run
through
a
troop;
and by
my God have
I leaped
over
a wall.
For in
You
I can
charge
an
army,
and with
my God I can
scale
a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect :
the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler
to all those
that
trust
in him.
As for God, His way is perfect ;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield
to all who
take
refuge
in Him.
For who is God save
the LORD? or
who is a
rock save
our God?
For who is God besides
the LORD? And
who is the
Rock except
our God?
It is God that
girdeth
me with strength ,
and maketh
my way perfect
.

my feet like hinds'
feet,
and setteth
me upon my
high
places

my feet like those
of
a
deer
and stations
me upon the
heights

my hands to
war,
so
that
a bow of steel
is
broken
by
mine
arms
.
He trains
my hands for
battle;
my
arms
can
bend
a bow of bronze
.
Thou
hast
also
given me the
shield of thy
salvation :
and
thy
right hand hath
holden
me up
, and thy
gentleness hath
made
me great
.
You
have
given me Your
shield of salvation ;

right hand upholds
me, and Your
gentleness exalts
me.

hast
enlarged
my
steps
under
me ,
that my feet
did
not slip
.
You
broaden
the
path
beneath
me so
that my ankles
do
not give
way
.
I have
pursued mine
enemies ,
and overtaken
them :
neither
did
I turn again
till
they were consumed.
I pursued my
enemies and overtook
them ;
I did
not
turn back
until

wounded
them that
they were
not able
to
rise :

fallen under my feet.

them so
they could
not rise ;
they have
fallen under my feet.

thou
hast
girded
me with strength unto
the
battle :

hast
subdued under
me
those
that
rose
up
against
me.
You
have
armed
me with strength for
battle ;
You
have
subdued my
foes
beneath

hast
also
given
me
the
necks
of
mine
enemies; that
I might
destroy
them
that
hate
me.
You
have
made
my
enemies retreat
before
me
; I put
an
end
to
those
who
hated
me.
They cried, but there was none
to save them :
even
unto
the LORD, but he answered
them
not.
They cried for
help
, 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 before
the wind :
I did
cast
them out
as
the
dirt
in the streets.
I ground
them as dust in
the face
of
the
wind ;
I trampled
them like
mud
in the streets.
Thou
hast
delivered me from the strivings
of the people; and
thou
hast
made me the head of the
heathen:
a people whom
I have
not known shall serve me.
You
have
delivered me from the strife
of the people; You
have
made me the head of nations;
a people I had
not known shall serve me.
As
soon
as
they hear of
me, they shall
obey me :
the
strangers
shall
submit
themselves
unto
me.
When
they hear me, they obey me ;
foreigners
cower
before
me.
The
strangers
shall
fade
away,
and be
afraid
out
of
their close
places
.
Foreigners
lose
heart
and come
trembling
from
their strongholds
.
The LORD liveth;
and blessed be my rock ;
and let
the God of my salvation be exalted .
The LORD lives,
and blessed be my Rock !
And may
the God of my salvation be exalted —
It
is
God that
avengeth
me ,
and subdueth
the
people
under
me .
the
God who
avenges
me and subdues
nations
beneath
me ,
He
delivereth
me from mine
enemies :
yea,
thou
liftest
me up
above those
that
rise
up
against
me:
thou
hast
delivered
me from the
violent man
.
who
delivers
me from my
enemies .
You
exalt
me above my
foes;
You
rescue
me from violent men
.
Therefore will
I give
thanks
unto
thee
, O LORD, among the heathen,
and
sing praises unto
thy
name.
Therefore I will
praise
You
, O LORD, among the nations;
I
will

to his anointed, to David ,
and to
his seed
for
evermore
.
