| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I love you, O LORD, my strength. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried 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 reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14And he sent out his arrows and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings and routed them. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty 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 into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22For all his rules were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24So the LORD has rewarded 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 merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30This God—his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?— |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He trains my hands for war, so that 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, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42I beat them fine as dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43You delivered me from strife with the people; you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation— |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me, |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48who rescued me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from the man of violence. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing to your name. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever. |
