For

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

, O LORD

One'

am
saved
.
I will
call upon
the
LORD
, who
is
worthy
to
be
praised;
so
shall

be
saved
from my enemies.
Compassed
me
have
cords of death ,
And
streams
of
the worthless
make
me afraid
.
The
cords of death encompassed
me;
the torrents
of
chaos
overwhelmed
me.
Cords of Sheol have
surrounded
me,
Before
me have
been
snares of death.
The
cords of Sheol entangled
me ;
the
snares of death confronted
me
.
In mine
adversity
I call
Jehovah,
And
unto
my God I
cry
. He
heareth
from His temple my voice, And My cry before
Him
cometh
into
His ears.
In my
distress
I called
upon
the
LORD;
I
cried
to
my God for
help
. From His temple He
heard
my voice, and my cry for
His help
reached
His
ears.
And
shake
and
tremble
doth
the earth, And foundations of hills
are
troubled,
And
they shake
--
because He hath
wrath
.
Then
the earth shook
and
quaked
, and the
foundations of the
mountains
trembled;
they were
shaken
because He burned
with
anger
.
Gone
up
hath
smoke by
His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth,
Coals have
been
kindled
by
it
.
Smoke rose
from
His nostrils, and consuming
fire came
from His mouth ;
glowing
coals blazed
forth
.
And
He inclineth
the heavens ,
and cometh
down ,
And
thick
darkness
`is'
under
His feet.
He parted
the heavens and came
down with
dark
clouds
beneath
His feet.
And
He rideth
on
a cherub ,
and doth
fly,
And
He flieth
on wings of wind.
He mounted
a cherub and flew;
He soared
on the
wings of the
wind.
He maketh
darkness His secret
place, Round
about
Him
His
tabernacle,
Darkness
of
waters,
thick
clouds of
the
skies
.
He made
darkness His hiding
place, and
storm
clouds a
canopy
around
Him
.
From the brightness over-against
Him
His thick
clouds have
passed
on,
Hail
and coals of fire.
From the brightness of
His presence
His
clouds advanced—
hailstones
and coals of fire.
And
thunder
in
the heavens
doth
Jehovah,
And
the Most High giveth
forth
His
voice,
Hail
and coals of fire.
The LORD
thundered
from
heaven;
the voice
of
the
Most High resounded—
hailstones
and coals of fire.
And
He sendeth
His arrows and scattereth
them,
And
much
lightning ,
and crusheth
them.
He shot
His arrows and scattered
the
foes;
He
hurled
lightning and routed
them.
And
seen
are
the streams
of waters
, And revealed
are
foundations of the earth.
From
Thy
rebuke, O Jehovah
, From
the breath
of the spirit
of Thine
anger
.
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 sendeth
from above
--
He
taketh
me ,
He draweth
me out of many
waters.
He reached
down
from on
high
and
took
hold
of
me ;
He drew
me out of deep
waters.
He delivereth
me from my strong
enemy, And
from those
hating
me,
For they
have
been
stronger
than
I
.
He rescued
me from my powerful
enemy, from foes
too
mighty
for me
.
They go
before
me in a
day of my
calamity And
Jehovah
is
for
a
support to
me
.
They confronted
me in my
day of calamity ,
but
the
LORD
was
my
support.
And
He bringeth
me forth
to
a
large
place,
He draweth
me out,
because He delighted in me.
He brought
me out
into
the
open;
He rescued
me because He delighted in me.
Jehovah
doth
recompense
me According to my righteousness ,
According to the cleanness of my hands ,
He
doth
return
to
me
.
The
LORD
has
rewarded
me according to my righteousness ;
He
has
repaid
me
according to the cleanness of my hands.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah,
And have not done
wickedly against
my God.
For I have kept the ways of the
LORD
and have not wickedly departed
from
my God.
For all His judgments
`
are '
before me ,
And
His
statutes
I turn
not from
me
.
For all His ordinances
are before me ;
I have
not disregarded
His
statutes
.
And I am
perfect
with
him ,
And I
keep
myself from mine
iniquity.
And I have
been
blameless
before
Him and kept
myself from iniquity.
And
Jehovah
doth
return
to
me ,
According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands ,
Over-against
his eyes
.
So
the
LORD
has
repaid
me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in
His sight
.
With
the kind
Thou
showest
Thyself
kind
, With
a
perfect
man
showest
Thyself
perfect.
To
the faithful
You
show
Yourself
faithful
, to
the
blameless
You
show
Yourself
blameless;
With
the pure Thou
showest
Thyself
pure, And
with
the perverse
showest
Thyself
a
wrestler,
to
the pure You
show
Yourself
pure, but
to
the crooked
You
show
Yourself
shrewd.
For Thou
a
poor
people savest
, And
the
eyes of
the
high
causest
to
fall
.
For You
save
an
afflicted
people, but
You
humble
those
with
haughty
eyes.
For Thou
--
Thou
lightest
my lamp ,
Jehovah
my God enlighteneth
my darkness.
For You,
O
LORD,
light
my lamp ;
my God lights
up
my darkness.
For by
Thee
I run
--
a
troop!
And by
my God I leap
a wall.
For in
You
I can
charge
an
army,
and with
my God I can
scale
a wall.
God !
perfect
`is'
His way ,
The saying
of Jehovah
is tried,
A shield `is'
He
to all those
trusting
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 besides Jehovah
? And who `
is '
a
rock save
our God?
For who is God besides the
LORD
? And who is the
Rock except
our God?
God !
who is
girding
me `
with '
strength ,
And He
maketh
perfect
my way.
It
is
God who arms
me with strength and makes
my way clear
.
Making
my feet like hinds,
And on
my
high
places
causeth
me to
stand
.
He
makes
my feet like those
of
a
deer
and stations
me upon
the
heights
.
Teaching
my hands for battle ,
And
a bow of brass
was
brought
down
by
my
arms
.
He
trains
my hands for battle ;
my
arms
can
bend
a bow of bronze
.
And
Thou
givest
to
me the
shield of Thy
salvation ,
And
Thy
right hand doth
support
me, And Thy
lowliness
maketh
me great
.
You
have
given
me Your
shield of salvation ;
Your
right hand upholds
me, and Your
gentleness
exalts
me.
Thou
enlargest
my
step
under
me ,
And
mine
ankles have
not slidden
.
You
broaden
the
path
beneath
me so
that
my
ankles do
not give
way
.
I pursue
mine
enemies ,
and overtake
them ,
And
turn back not
till
they are
consumed.
I pursued
my
enemies and overtook
them ;
I
did
not
turn back until
they were
consumed.
I smite
them ,
and
they are
not able
to
rise ,
They fall
under my feet ,
I crushed
them so
they could
not rise ;
they have
fallen
under my feet .
And
Thou
girdest
me `
with '
strength for battle ,
Causest
my withstanders
to
bow
under
me.
You
have
armed
me with strength for battle ;
You
have
subdued
my foes
beneath
me.
As
to
mine
enemies --
Thou
hast
given
to
me the
neck,
As
to those hating
me --
I
cut
them
off
.
You
have
made
my
enemies retreat
before
me ;
I
put
an
end
to those who
hated
me.
They cry
, and
there is
no saviour,
On
Jehovah
, and
He doth
not answer them
.
They cried
for
help
, but
there was
no one
to
save
them—
to
the
LORD
, but
He did
not answer.
And
I beat
them as dust before
wind,
As
mire
of the streets
I empty
them out
.
I ground
them as dust in
the
face
of the wind;
I trampled
them like
mud
in
the
streets
.
Thou
dost
deliver
me From the strivings
of the people ,
Thou
placest
me for
a
head of nations ,
A people I have
not known do
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.
At
the
hearing
of
the
ear
they hearken
to
me, Sons
of
a
stranger
feign
obedience
to
me ,
When
they hear
me, they
obey
me ;
foreigners
cower
before
me.
Sons
of
a
stranger
fade
away,
And are
slain
out
of
their close
places
.
Foreigners
lose
heart
and come
trembling
from
their strongholds
.
Jehovah
liveth
--
and blessed `is'
my rock ,
And exalted
is
the God of my salvation .
The
LORD
lives,
and blessed be
my Rock !
And may
the God of my salvation be
exalted—
God --
who is
giving
vengeance
to
me ,
And He
subdueth
peoples
under
me,
the
God who avenges
me and subdues
nations
beneath
me,
My
deliverer
from mine
enemies ,
Above my withstanders
Thou
raisest
me ,
From a
man
of
violence
dost
deliver
me
.
who
delivers
me
from my
enemies .
You
exalt
me
above my foes;
You
rescue
me from violent
men
.
Therefore I confess
Thee
among
nations
, O Jehovah
, And
to
Thy
name
I sing praise,
Therefore I will
praise
You
, O LORD
, among
the
nations;
I will
sing praises
to
Your
name.
Magnifying
the
salvation of
His king ,
And
doing
kindness
to His anointed, To David ,
and to
his seed
--
unto
the
age!
Great
salvation He
brings
to
His king .
He
shows
loving
devotion
to His anointed, to David and his descendants
forever.
