| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I love you, LORD, my strength. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4The ropes of death were wrapped around me; the torrents of destruction terrified me. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I called to the LORD in my distress, and I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the mountains trembled; they shook because he burned with anger. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Smoke rose from his nostrils, and consuming fire came from his mouth; coals were set ablaze by it. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He made darkness his hiding place, dark storm clouds his canopy around him. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12From the radiance of his presence, his clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13The LORD thundered from heaven; the Most High made his voice heard. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14He shot his arrows and scattered them; he hurled lightning bolts and routed them. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15The depths of the sea became visible, the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he pulled me out of deep water. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17He rescued me from my powerful enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19He brought me out to a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; he repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not turned from my God to wickedness. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Indeed, I let all his ordinances guide me and have not disregarded his statutes. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I was blameless toward him and kept myself from my iniquity. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24So the LORD repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25With the faithful you prove yourself faithful, with the blameless you prove yourself blameless, |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26with the pure you prove yourself pure; but with the crooked you prove yourself shrewd. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27For you rescue an oppressed people, but you humble those with haughty eyes. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28LORD, you light my lamp; my God illuminates my darkness. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29With you I can attack a barricade, and with my God I can leap over a wall. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30God--his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in him. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31For who is God besides the LORD? And who is a rock? Only our God. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32God--he clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me securely on the heights. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He trains my hands for war; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35You have given me the shield of your salvation; your right hand upholds me, and your humility exalts me. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36You make a spacious place beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37I pursue my enemies and overtake them; I do not turn back until they are wiped out. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38I crush them, and they cannot get up; they fall beneath my feet. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39You have clothed me with strength for battle; you subdue my adversaries beneath me. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41They cry for help, but there is no one to save them--they cry to the LORD, but he does not answer them. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42I pulverize them like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43You have freed me from the feuds among the people; you have appointed me the head of nations; a people I had not known serve me. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44Foreigners submit to me cringing; as soon as they hear they obey me. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their fortifications. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46The LORD lives--blessed be my rock! The God of my salvation is exalted. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47God--he grants me vengeance and subdues peoples under me. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48He frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my adversaries; you rescue me from violent men. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Therefore I will give thanks to you among the nations, LORD; I will sing praises about your name. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50He gives great victories to his king; he shows loyalty to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever. |
