And David{H1732} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto the LORD{H3068} the words{H1697} of this song{H7892} in the day{H3117} that the LORD{H3068} had delivered{H5337}{(H8689)} him out of the hand{H3709} of all his enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, and out of the hand{H3709} of Saul{H7586}:

And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, The LORD{H3068} is my rock{H5553}, and my fortress{H4686}, and my deliverer{H6403}{(H8764)};

The God{H430} of my rock{H6697}; in him will I trust{H2620}{(H8799)}: he is my shield{H4043}, and the horn{H7161} of my salvation{H3468}, my high tower{H4869}, and my refuge{H4498}, my saviour{H3467}{(H8688)}; thou savest{H3467}{(H8686)} me from violence{H2555}.

I will call{H7121}{(H8799)} on the LORD{H3068}, who is worthy to be praised{H1984}{(H8794)}: so shall I be saved{H3467}{(H8735)} from mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}.

When the waves{H4867} of death{H4194} compassed{H661}{(H8804)} me, the floods{H5158} of ungodly men{H1100} made me afraid{H1204}{(H8762)};

The sorrows{H2256} of hell{H7585} compassed me about{H5437}{(H8804)}; the snares{H4170} of death{H4194} prevented{H6923}{(H8765)} me;

In my distress{H6862} I called{H7121}{(H8799)} upon the LORD{H3068}, and cried{H7121}{(H8799)} to my God{H430}: and he did hear{H8085}{(H8799)} my voice{H6963} out of his temple{H1964}, and my cry{H7775} did enter into his ears{H241}.

Then the earth{H776} shook{H1607}{(H8691)}{(H8675)}{H1607}{(H8799)} and trembled{H7493}{(H8799)}; the foundations{H4146} of heaven{H8064} moved{H7264}{(H8799)} and shook{H1607}{(H8691)}, because he was wroth{H2734}{(H8804)}.

There went up{H5927}{(H8804)} a smoke{H6227} out of his nostrils{H639}, and fire{H784} out of his mouth{H6310} devoured{H398}{(H8799)}: coals{H1513} were kindled{H1197}{(H8804)} by it.

He bowed{H5186}{(H8799)} the heavens{H8064} also, and came down{H3381}{(H8799)}; and darkness{H6205} was under his feet{H7272}.

And he rode{H7392}{(H8799)} upon a cherub{H3742}, and did fly{H5774}{(H8799)}: and he was seen{H7200}{(H8735)} upon the wings{H3671} of the wind{H7307}.

And he made{H7896}{(H8799)} darkness{H2822} pavilions{H5521} round about{H5439} him, dark{H2841} waters{H4325}, and thick clouds{H5645} of the skies{H7834}.

Through the brightness{H5051} before him were coals{H1513} of fire{H784} kindled{H1197}{(H8804)}.

The LORD{H3068} thundered{H7481}{(H8686)} from heaven{H8064}, and the most High{H5945} uttered{H5414}{(H8799)} his voice{H6963}.

And he sent out{H7971}{(H8799)} arrows{H2671}, and scattered{H6327}{(H8686)} them; lightning{H1300}, and discomfited{H2000}{(H8799)} them.

And the channels{H650} of the sea{H3220} appeared{H7200}{(H8735)}, the foundations{H4146} of the world{H8398} were discovered{H1540}{(H8735)}, at the rebuking{H1606} of the LORD{H3068}, at the blast{H5397} of the breath{H7307} of his nostrils{H639}.

He sent{H7971}{(H8799)} from above{H4791}, he took{H3947}{(H8799)} me; he drew{H4871}{(H8686)} me out of many{H7227} waters{H4325};

He delivered{H5337}{(H8686)} me from my strong{H5794} enemy{H341}{(H8802)}, and from them that hated{H8130}{(H8802)} me: for they were too strong{H553}{(H8804)} for me.

They prevented{H6923}{(H8762)} me in the day{H3117} of my calamity{H343}: but the LORD{H3068} was my stay{H4937}.

He brought me forth{H3318}{(H8686)} also into a large place{H4800}: he delivered{H2502}{(H8762)} me, because he delighted{H2654}{(H8804)} in me.

The LORD{H3068} rewarded{H1580}{(H8799)} me according to my righteousness{H6666}: according to the cleanness{H1252} of my hands{H3027} hath he recompensed{H7725}{(H8686)} me.

For I have kept{H8104}{(H8804)} the ways{H1870} of the LORD{H3068}, and have not wickedly departed{H7561}{(H8804)} from my God{H430}.

For all his judgments{H4941} were before me: and as for his statutes{H2708}, I did not depart{H5493}{(H8799)} from them.

I was also upright{H8549} before him, and have kept{H8104}{(H8691)} myself from mine iniquity{H5771}.

Therefore the LORD{H3068} hath recompensed{H7725}{(H8686)} me according to my righteousness{H6666}; according to my cleanness{H1252} in his eye sight{H5048}{H5869}.

With the merciful{H2623} thou wilt shew thyself merciful{H2616}{(H8691)}, and with the upright{H8549} man{H1368} thou wilt shew thyself upright{H8552}{(H8691)}.

With the pure{H1305}{(H8737)} thou wilt shew thyself pure{H1305}{(H8691)}; and with the froward{H6141} thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury{H6617}{(H8691)}.

And the afflicted{H6041} people{H5971} thou wilt save{H3467}{(H8686)}: but thine eyes{H5869} are upon the haughty{H7311}{(H8802)}, that thou mayest bring them down{H8213}{(H8686)}.

For thou art my lamp{H5216}, O LORD{H3068}: and the LORD{H3068} will lighten{H5050}{(H8686)} my darkness{H2822}.

For by thee I have run{H7323}{(H8799)} through a troop{H1416}: by my God{H430} have I leaped over{H1801}{(H8762)} a wall{H7791}.

As for God{H410}, his way{H1870} is perfect{H8549}; the word{H565} of the LORD{H3068} is tried{H6884}{(H8803)}: he is a buckler{H4043} to all them that trust{H2620}{(H8802)} in him.

For who is God{H410}, save{H1107} the LORD{H3068}? and who is a rock{H6697}, save{H1107} our God{H430}?

God{H410} is my strength{H4581} and power{H2428}: and he maketh{H5425}{(H8686)} my way{H1870} perfect{H8549}.

He maketh{H7737} my feet{H7272} like{H7737}{(H8764)} hinds{H355}' feet: and setteth{H5975}{(H8686)} me upon my high places{H1116}.

He teacheth{H3925}{(H8764)} my hands{H3027} to war{H4421}; so that a bow{H7198} of steel{H5154} is broken{H5181}{(H8765)} by mine arms{H2220}.

Thou hast also given{H5414}{(H8799)} me the shield{H4043} of thy salvation{H3468}: and thy gentleness{H6031}{(H8800)}{(H8676)}{H6038} hath made me great{H7235}{(H8686)}.

Thou hast enlarged{H7337}{(H8686)} my steps{H6806} under me; so that my feet{H7166} did not slip{H4571}{(H8804)}.

I have pursued{H7291}{(H8799)} mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, and destroyed{H8045}{(H8686)} them; and turned not again{H7725}{(H8799)} until I had consumed{H3615}{(H8763)} them.

And I have consumed{H3615}{(H8762)} them, and wounded{H4272}{(H8799)} them, that they could not arise{H6965}{(H8799)}: yea, they are fallen{H5307}{(H8799)} under my feet{H7272}.

For thou hast girded{H247}{(H8762)} me with strength{H2428} to battle{H4421}: them that rose up{H6965}{(H8801)} against me hast thou subdued{H3766}{(H8686)} under me.

Thou hast also given{H5414}{(H8804)} me the necks{H6203} of mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, that I might destroy{H6789}{(H8686)} them that hate{H8130}{(H8764)} me.

They looked{H8159}{(H8799)}, but there was none to save{H3467}{(H8688)}; even unto the LORD{H3068}, but he answered{H6030}{(H8804)} them not.

Then did I beat{H7833}{(H8799)} them as small as the dust{H6083} of the earth{H776}, I did stamp{H1854}{(H8686)} them as the mire{H2916} of the street{H2351}, and did spread them abroad{H7554}{(H8799)}.

Thou also hast delivered{H6403}{(H8762)} me from the strivings{H7379} of my people{H5971}, thou hast kept{H8104}{(H8799)} me to be head{H7218} of the heathen{H1471}: a people{H5971} which I knew{H3045}{(H8804)} not shall serve{H5647}{(H8799)} me.

Strangers{H1121}{H5236} shall submit{H3584}{(H8691)} themselves unto me: as soon as they hear{H8085}{(H8800)}{H241}, they shall be obedient{H8085}{(H8735)} unto me.

Strangers{H1121}{H5236} shall fade away{H5034}{(H8799)}, and they shall be afraid{H2296}{(H8799)} out of their close places{H4526}.

The LORD{H3068} liveth{H2416}; and blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be my rock{H6697}; and exalted{H7311}{(H8799)} be the God{H430} of the rock{H6697} of my salvation{H3468}.

It is God{H410} that avengeth{H5414}{(H8802)}{H5360} me, and that bringeth down{H3381}{(H8688)} the people{H5971} under me,

And that bringeth me forth{H3318}{(H8688)} from mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}: thou also hast lifted me up on high{H7311}{(H8787)} above them that rose up{H6965}{(H8801)} against me: thou hast delivered{H5337}{(H8686)} me from the violent{H2555} man{H376}.

Therefore I will give thanks{H3034}{(H8686)} unto thee, O LORD{H3068}, among the heathen{H1471}, and I will sing praises{H2167}{(H8762)} unto thy name{H8034}.

He is the tower{H4024}{(H8675)}{H1431}{(H8688)} of salvation{H3444} for his king{H4428}: and sheweth{H6213}{(H8802)} mercy{H2617} to his anointed{H4899}, unto David{H1732}, and to his seed{H2233} for{H5704} evermore{H5769}.
