1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD rescued him from the power of all his enemies, including Saul.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2He said: "The LORD is my high ridge, my stronghold, my deliverer.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3My God is my rocky summit where I take shelter, my shield, the horn that saves me, my stronghold, my refuge, my savior. You save me from violence!
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I was delivered from my enemies.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5The waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6The ropes of Sheol tightened around me; the snares of death trapped me.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7In my distress I called to the LORD; I called to my God. From his heavenly temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8The earth heaved and shook; the foundations of the sky trembled. They heaved because he was angry.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Smoke ascended from his nose; fire devoured as it came from his mouth; he hurled down fiery coals.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10He made the sky sink as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11He mounted a winged angel and flew; he glided on the wings of the wind.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12He shrouded himself in darkness, in thick rain clouds.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13From the brightness in front of him came coals of fire.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14The LORD thundered from the sky; the sovereign One shouted loudly.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15He shot arrows and scattered them, lightning and routed them.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16The depths of the sea were exposed; the inner regions of the world were uncovered by the LORD's battle cry, by the powerful breath from his nose.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17He reached down from above and grabbed me; he pulled me from the surging water.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hate me, for they were too strong for me.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD helped me.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20He brought me out into a wide open place; he delivered me because he was pleased with me.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21The LORD repaid me for my godly deeds; he rewarded my blameless behavior.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22For I have obeyed the LORD's commands; I have not rebelled against my God.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23For I am aware of all his regulations, and I do not reject his rules.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24I was blameless before him; I kept myself from sinning.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25The LORD rewarded me for my godly deeds; he took notice of my blameless behavior.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26You prove to be loyal to one who is faithful; you prove to be trustworthy to one who is innocent.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27You prove to be reliable to one who is blameless, but you prove to be deceptive to one who is perverse.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28You deliver oppressed people, but you watch the proud and bring them down.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Indeed, you are my lamp, LORD. The LORD illumines the darkness around me.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30Indeed,with your help I can charge against an army; by my God's power I can jump over a wall.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the LORD's promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32Indeed, who is God besides the LORD? Who is a protector besides our God?
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33The one true God is my mighty refuge; he removes the obstacles in my way.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend even the strongest bow.
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36You give me your protective shield; your willingness to help enables me to prevail.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37You widen my path; my feet do not slip.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38I chase my enemies and destroy them; I do not turn back until I wipe them out.
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39I wipe them out and beat them to death; they cannot get up; they fall at my feet.
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40You give me strength for battle; you make my foes kneel before me.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me.
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the LORD, but he does not answer them.
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43I grind them as fine as the dust of the ground; I crush them and stomp on them like clay in the streets.
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44You rescue me from a hostile army; you preserve me as a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45Foreigners are powerless before me; when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46Foreigners lose their courage; they shake with fear as they leave their strongholds.
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47The LORD is alive! My protector is praiseworthy! The God who delivers me is exalted as king!
48[an error occurred while processing this directive]48The one true God completely vindicates me; he makes nations submit to me.
49[an error occurred while processing this directive]49He delivers me from my enemies; you snatch me away from those who attack me; you rescue me from violent men.
50[an error occurred while processing this directive]50So I will give you thanks, O LORD, before the nations! I will sing praises to you.
51[an error occurred while processing this directive]51He gives his chosen king magnificent victories; he is faithful to his chosen ruler, to David and to his descendants forever!"
