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