4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5“The waves of death overwhelmed me; floods of destruction swept over me. |

10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. |

23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I have followed all his regulations; I have never abandoned his decrees. |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24I am blameless before God; I have kept myself from sin. |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25The LORD rewarded me for doing right. He has seen my innocence. |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26“To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. |
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 rescue the humble, but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them. |
29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29O LORD, you are my lamp. The LORD lights up my darkness. |

32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? |
33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect. |
34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights. |
35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. |

40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet. |
41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41You placed my foot on their necks. I have destroyed all who hated me. |
42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the LORD, but he refused to answer. |
43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trampled them in the gutter like dirt. |
44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44“You gave me victory over my accusers. You preserved me as the ruler over nations; people I don’t even know now serve me. |
45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45Foreign nations cringe before me; as soon as they hear of me, they submit. |
46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds. |
47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47“The LORD lives! Praise to my Rock! May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted! |

51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51You give great victories to your king; you show unfailing love to your anointed, to David and all his descendants forever.” |
