1 - David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD 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. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior- from violent men you save me.
4 - I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.
5 - "The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
6 - The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
7 - In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.
8 - "The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens shook; they trembled because he was angry.
9 - Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.
10 - He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
11 - He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.
12 - He made darkness his canopy around him- the dark rain clouds of the sky.
13 - Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth.
14 - The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 - He shot arrows and scattered the enemies, bolts of lightning and routed them.
16 - The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of breath from 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 my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 - They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.
20 - He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
21 - "The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
22 - For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not done evil by turning from my God.
23 - All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.
24 - I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.
25 - The LORD has rewarded 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 the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.
29 - You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light.
30 - With your help I can advance against a troop; 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 for all who take refuge in him.
32 - For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
33 - It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
34 - He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
35 - He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 - You give me your shield of victory; you stoop down to make me great.
37 - You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.
38 - "I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 - I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.
40 - You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet.
41 - You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.
42 - They cried for help, but there was no one to save them- to the LORD, but he did not answer.
43 - I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.
44 - "You have delivered me from the attacks of my people; you have preserved me as the head of nations. People I did not know are subject to me,
45 - and foreigners come cringing to me; as soon as they hear me, they obey me.
46 - They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.
47 - "The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God, the Rock, my Savior!
48 - He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me,
49 - who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me.
50 - Therefore I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to your name.
51 - He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever."
