| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I 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 is 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 called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him-- the dark rain clouds of the sky. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24The 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] | 25To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41They cried for help, but there was no one to save them-- to the LORD, but he did not answer. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me, |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me, |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever. |
