1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1And David 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.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42They looked, but there was no one to save them—to the LORD, but He did not answer.
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44You 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.
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
48[an error occurred while processing this directive]48the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,
49[an error occurred while processing this directive]49who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
50[an error occurred while processing this directive]50Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
51[an error occurred while processing this directive]51Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
