## Text

[1] And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. [2] He said:
“The LORD is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer. [3] My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation.
My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior,
You save me from violence. [4] I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
so shall I be saved from my enemies. [5] For the waves of death engulfed me;
the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me. [6] The cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me. [7] In my distress I called upon the LORD;
I cried out to my God.
And from His temple He heard my voice,
and my cry for help reached His ears. [8] Then the earth shook and quaked;
the foundations of the heavens trembled;
they were shaken because He burned with anger. [9] Smoke rose from His nostrils,
and consuming fire came from His mouth;
glowing coals blazed forth. [10] He parted the heavens and came down
with dark clouds beneath His feet. [11] He mounted a cherub and flew;
He soared on the wings of the wind. [12] He made darkness a canopy around Him,
a gathering of water and thick clouds. [13] From the brightness of His presence
coals of fire blazed forth. [14] The LORD thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded. [15] He shot His arrows and scattered the foes;
He hurled lightning and routed them. [16] The channels of the sea appeared,
and the foundations of the world were exposed
at the rebuke of the LORD,
at the blast of the breath of His nostrils. [17] He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
He drew me out of deep waters. [18] He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from foes too mighty for me. [19] They confronted me in my day of calamity,
but the LORD was my support. [20] He brought me out into the open;
He rescued me because He delighted in me. [21] The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness;
He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands. [22] For I have kept the ways of the LORD
and have not wickedly departed from my God. [23] For all His ordinances are before me;
I have not disregarded His statutes. [24] And I have been blameless before Him
and kept myself from iniquity. [25] So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness,
according to my cleanness in His sight. [26] To the faithful You show Yourself faithful,
to the blameless You show Yourself blameless; [27] to the pure You show Yourself pure,
but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd. [28] You save an afflicted people,
but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down. [29] For You, O LORD, are my lamp;
the LORD lights up my darkness. [30] For in You I can charge an army;
with my God I can scale a wall. [31] As for God, His way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield to all
who take refuge in Him. [32] For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God? [33] God is my strong fortress
and He makes my way clear. [34] He makes my feet like those of a deer
and stations me upon the heights. [35] He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze. [36] You have given me Your shield of salvation,
and Your gentleness exalts me. [37] You broaden the path beneath me
so that my ankles do not give way. [38] I pursued my enemies and destroyed them;
I did not turn back until they were consumed. [39] I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise;
they have fallen under my feet. [40] You have armed me with strength for battle;
You have subdued my foes beneath me. [41] You have made my enemies retreat before me;
I put an end to those who hated me. [42] They looked, but there was no one to save them—
to the LORD, but He did not answer. [43] I ground them as the dust of the earth;
I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets. [44] You have delivered me from the strife of my people;
You have preserved me as the head of nations;
a people I had not known shall serve me. [45] Foreigners cower before me;
when they hear me, they obey me. [46] Foreigners lose heart
and come trembling from their strongholds. [47] The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock!
And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted— [48] the God who avenges me
and brings down nations beneath me, [49] who frees me from my enemies.
You exalt me above my foes;
You rescue me from violent men. [50] Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations;
I will sing praises to Your name. [51] Great salvation He brings to His king.
He shows loving devotion to His anointed,
to David and his descendants forever.”
