2 And he said , The LORD is my rock , and my fortress , and my deliverer ;⇉ ⇇
3 The God of my rock ; ↦ in him will I trust : he is my ↦ shield , and ↦ the horn of my salvation , ↦ my high tower , and ↦ my refuge , ↦ my saviour ; ↦ thou savest me from violence .⇇
4 ↦ I will call on the LORD , who is ↦ worthy to be praised : ↦ so shall I be saved from mine enemies .⇇
5 When the ↦ waves of death compassed me , ↦ the floods of ungodly men made me afraid ;⇇
6 The ↦ sorrows of hell compassed me about ; ↦ the snares of death prevented me ;⇇
7 In ↦ my distress I called upon the LORD , and cried to my God : and he ↦ did hear my voice ↦ out of his temple , and ↦ my cry did enter into his ears .⇇
8 Then ↦ the earth shook and trembled ; the ↦ foundations of heaven moved and shook , because he was wroth .⇇
9 There ↦ went up a smoke out of his nostrils , and fire out of his mouth devoured : ↦ coals were kindled by it .⇇
10 He ↦ bowed the heavens also , and came down ; and ↦ darkness was under his feet .⇇
11 And he rode upon ↦ a cherub , and did fly : and he was seen ↦ upon the wings of the wind .⇇
12 And he ↦ made darkness pavilions round about him , dark waters , and thick clouds of the skies .⇇
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled .⇇
14 The LORD ↦ thundered from heaven , and the most High uttered his voice .⇇
15 And he sent out ↦ arrows , and scattered them ; lightning , and discomfited them .⇇
16 And ↦ the channels of the sea appeared , the foundations of the world were discovered , at the ↦ rebuking of the LORD , at the blast of the breath of his ↦ nostrils .⇇
17 He ↦ sent from above , he took me ; ↦ he drew me out of many waters ;⇇
18 He ↦ delivered me from my strong enemy , and from them that hated me : for they were too strong for me .⇇
19 They ↦ prevented me in the day of my calamity : but ↦ the LORD was my stay .⇇
20 He ↦ brought me forth also into a large place : he delivered me , because he ↦ delighted in me .⇇
21 The LORD ↦ rewarded me according to my righteousness : according to the ↦ cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me .⇇
22 For ↦ I have kept ↦ the ways of the LORD , and ↦ have not wickedly departed from my God .⇇
23 ↦ For all his ↦ judgments were before me : and as for his statutes , ↦ I did not depart from them .⇇
24 I was also ↦ upright before him , and have ↦ kept myself from mine iniquity .⇇
25 Therefore the LORD hath ↦ recompensed me according to my righteousness ; according to my cleanness ↦ in his eye sight .⇇
26 With ↦ the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful , and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright .⇇
27 With ↦ the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure ; and with the froward thou wilt ↦ shew thyself unsavoury .⇉ ⇇
28 And the ↦ afflicted people thou wilt save : ↦ but thine eyes are upon the haughty , that thou mayest bring them down .⇇
29 For thou art my ↦ lamp , O LORD : and the LORD will ↦ lighten my darkness .⇇
30 For by thee I have ↦ run through a troop : by my God have I leaped over a wall .⇇
31 As for God , ↦ his way is perfect ; ↦ the word of the LORD is tried : he is ↦ a buckler to all them that trust in him .⇇
32 ↦ For who is God , save the LORD ? and who is ↦ a rock , save our God ?⇇
33 God is my ↦ strength and power : and he maketh ↦ my way ↦ perfect .⇇
34 He maketh my feet ↦ like hinds ' feet : and ↦ setteth me upon my high places .⇇
35 He ↦ teacheth my hands to war ; so that ↦ a bow of steel is broken by mine arms .⇇
36 Thou hast also given me ↦ the shield of thy salvation : and thy ↦ gentleness hath ↦ made me great .⇇
37 Thou hast ↦ enlarged my steps under me ; so that my ↦ feet did not slip .⇇
38 I have pursued mine enemies , and destroyed them ; and turned not again until I had consumed them .⇉ ⇇
39 And I have consumed them , and wounded them , that they could not arise : yea , they are fallen under my feet .⇉ ⇇
40 For thou hast ↦ girded me with strength to battle : ↦ them that rose up against me hast thou ↦ subdued under me .⇇
41 Thou hast also given me the ↦ necks of mine enemies , that ↦ I might destroy them that hate me .⇇
42 They looked , but there was none to save ; even ↦ unto the LORD , but he answered them not .⇇
43 Then did I beat them ↦ as small as the dust of the earth , I did stamp them ↦ as the mire of the street , and ↦ did spread them abroad .⇇
44 Thou also hast ↦ delivered me from the strivings of my people , thou hast kept me to be ↦ head of the heathen : ↦ a people which I knew not shall serve me .⇇
45 ↦ Strangers shall ↦ submit themselves unto me : as soon as they hear , they shall be obedient unto me .⇇
46 Strangers shall ↦ fade away , and they shall be afraid ↦ out of their close places .⇇
47 The ↦ LORD liveth ; and blessed be my rock ; and exalted be the God of ↦ the rock of my salvation .⇇
48 It is God that ↦ avengeth me , and ↦ that bringeth down the people under me ,⇇
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies : ↦ thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me : thou hast delivered me from ↦ the violent man .⇇
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee , O LORD , among the heathen , and ↦ I will sing praises unto thy name .⇉ ⇇
51 He is ↦ the tower of salvation for his king : and sheweth mercy to ↦ his anointed , unto David , and to his ↦ seed for evermore .⇇
