1
And David spake
unto the
L
ORD
the words of this song in the day
that
the
L
ORD
had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
And he said, The
L
ORD
is
my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3
The God of my rock; in him will I trust:
he is
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
4
I will call on the
L
ORD
,
who is
worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7
In my distress I called upon the
L
ORD
, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry
did enter
into his ears.
8
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness
was
under his feet.
11
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters,
and
thick clouds of the skies.
13
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14
The
L
ORD
thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the
L
ORD
, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
and
from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the
L
ORD
was my stay.
20
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21
The
L
ORD
rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22
For I have kept the ways of the
L
ORD
, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23
For all his judgments
were
before me: and
as for
his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25
Therefore the
L
ORD
hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful,
and
with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
27
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
28
And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes
are
upon the haughty,
that
thou mayest bring
them
down.
29
For thou
art
my lamp, O
L
ORD
: and the
L
ORD
will lighten my darkness.
30
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31
As for
God, his way
is
perfect; the word of the
L
ORD
is
tried: he
is
a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32
For who
is
God, save the
L
ORD
? and who
is
a rock, save our God?
33
God
is
my strength
and
power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34
He maketh my feet like hinds’
feet:
and setteth me upon my high places.
35
He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40
For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42
They looked, but
there was
none to save;
even
unto the
L
ORD
, but he answered them not.
43
Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street,
and
did spread them abroad.
44
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me
to be
head of the heathen: a people
which
I knew not shall serve me.
45
Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47
The
L
ORD
liveth; and blessed
be
my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48
It
is
God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O
L
ORD
, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51
He is
the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
