- 1. ¶ I WILL love thee, O LORD, my strength and my trust;
- 2. My refuge and my deliverer is the mighty God in whom I trust; he is my helper and the horn of my salvation and my glorious refuge.
- 3. I will call upon the LORD; so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
- 4. For the pains of death surrounded me, and the rush of ungodly men have confused me.
- 5. The travail of Sheol has taken hold of me: the snares of death preceded me.
- 6. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
- 7. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken because he was angry.
- 8. There went up a smoke out of his wrath, and fire flamed from his face, and coals were kindled by it.
- 9. He bowed the heavens and came down; and thick darkness was under his feet.
- 10. And he rode upon cherubim and flew; yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
- 11. He made darkness his covert; his pavilion round about him was darkness of waters and thick clouds of the skies.
- 12. Out of the brightness of his shadow his clouds rained hailstones and coals of fire.
- 13. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
- 14. Yea, he sent out his arrows and scattered them; and he multiplied his lightnings and confused them.
- 15. Then the brooks appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid open at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thine anger.
- 16. He sent from on high and quieted me; he received me out of great waters.
- 17. He delivered me from my strong enemies and from them which hated me; for they were too strong for me.
- 18. They confronted me in the day of my extremity, but the LORD was my deliverer.
- 19. He brought me forth into comfort; he delivered me because he delighted in me.
- 20. ¶ The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
- 21. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not revolted against my God.
- 22. For all his judgments were before me, and his laws I did not put away from me.
- 23. I was also blameless before him, and I carefully kept myself from my sins.
- 24. Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyes.
- 25. With the pure thou shalt be pure; with an upright man thou shalt be upright.
- 26. With the clean thou shalt be clean; and from the crooked thou shalt turn aside.
- 27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt humble the proud.
- 28. For thou wilt light my lamp; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
- 29. ¶ For through thee I have pursued a band of robbers; and through my God have I leaped over a fence.
- 30. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is pure: he is a help to all those that trust in him.
- 31. For there is no God save the LORD; and there is no one who is mighty like our God.
- 32. It is God that girds me with strength and makes my way perfect.
- 33. He makes my feet like hart’s feet and sets me upon high places.
- 34. He trains my hands to war; and he strengthens my arms like a bow of brass.
- 35. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; and thy right hand hath held me up; and thy discipline hath made me great.
- 36. Thou hast steadied my legs under me, that my ankles may not be weakened.
- 37. I will pursue my enemies and overtake them; and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
- 38. I will smite them so that they shall not be able to stand; they shall fall under my feet.
- 39. For thou hast girded me with strength to the battle; thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
- 40. Thou hast also defeated my enemies before me, that I might silence them that hate me.
- 41. They shall cry, but there will be none to save them; they shall beg the LORD, but he will not answer them.
- 42. Then I will beat them small as the dust before the wind; I will tread over them as the mire of the streets.
- 43. Thou wilt deliver me from the judgments of the people; and thou wilt make me the leader of the Gentiles; a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
- 44. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me; strangers shall submit themselves to me.
- 45. Strangers shall halt and shall be hindered from walking in their paths.
- 46. The LORD lives; blessed be the one who gives me strength; let my God and my Saviour be exalted.
- 47. It is God that avenges me and subdues the people under me.
- 48. He delivered me from my enemies; yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me; thou hast delivered me from lawless man.
- 49. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the Gentiles, and sing praises unto thy name.
- 50. Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David and to his descendants for evermore.
