"I love You, O LORD
, amy strength
."
The LORD is amy 1rock
and bmy fortress
and my cdeliverer
, My God
, my rock
, in whom I take
refuge
; My dshield
and the ehorn
of my salvation
, my fstronghold
.
I call upon the LORD
, who is aworthy to be praised
, And I am bsaved
from my enemies
.
The acords of death
encompassed
me, And the btorrents
of 1ungodliness
2terrified
me.
The acords of 1Sheol
surrounded
me; The snares
of death
confronted
me.
In my adistress I called
upon the LORD
, And cried
to my God
for help
; He heard
my voice
bout of His temple
, And my ccry
for help
before
Him came
into His ears
.
Then the aearth shook
and quaked
; And the bfoundations
of the mountains
were trembling
And were shaken
, because
He was angry
.
Smoke went
up 1out of His nostrils
, And afire
from His mouth
devoured
; Coals
were kindled
by it.
He abowed the heavens
also, and came
down
With thick
bdarkness
under
His feet
.
He rode upon a acherub
and flew
; And He sped
upon the bwings
of the wind
.
He made adarkness
His hiding
place
, bHis 1canopy
around
Him, Darkness
of waters
, thick
clouds
of the skies
.
From the abrightness before
Him passed
His thick
clouds
, Hailstones
and bcoals
of fire
.
The LORD also athundered
in the heavens
, And the Most
High
uttered
His voice
, Hailstones
and coals
of fire
.
He asent out His arrows
, and scattered
them, And lightning
flashes
in abundance
, and 1routed
them.
Then the achannels of water
appeared
, And the foundations
of the world
were 1laid
bare
At Your brebuke
, O LORD
, At the blast
of the cbreath
of Your nostrils
.
He asent from on high
, He took
me; He drew
me out of bmany
waters
.
He adelivered me from my strong
enemy
, And from those who hated
me, for they were btoo
mighty
for me.
They confronted me in athe day
of my calamity
, But bthe LORD
was my stay
.
He brought me forth
also into a abroad
place
; He rescued
me, because
bHe delighted
in me.
The LORD has arewarded
me according to my righteousness
; According to the bcleanness
of my hands
He has recompensed
me.
For I have akept the ways
of the LORD
, And have bnot wickedly
departed
from my God
.
For all aHis ordinances
were before
me, And I did not put
away
His bstatutes
from me.
I was also 1 ablameless with Him, And I bkept
myself from my iniquity
.
Therefore the LORD has arecompensed
me according to my righteousness
, According to the cleanness
of my hands
in His eyes
.
With athe kind You show
Yourself kind
; With the 1blameless
bYou show
Yourself blameless
;
With the pure You show
Yourself apure
, And with the crooked
bYou show
Yourself 1astute
.
For You asave an afflicted
people
, But bhaughty
eyes
You abase
.
For You alight my lamp
; The LORD
my God
billumines
my darkness
.
For by You I can 1 arun upon a troop
; And by my God
I can bleap
over a wall
.
As for God, His way
is 1 ablameless
; The bword
of the LORD
is tried
; He is a cshield
to all
who take
refuge
in Him.
For awho is God
, but the LORD
? And who
is a brock
, except
our God
,
The God who agirds
me with strength
And 1makes
my way
2 bblameless
?
He amakes my feet
like hinds'
feet, And bsets
me upon my high
places
.
He atrains my hands
for battle
, So that my arms
can bbend
a bow
of bronze
.
You have also given me athe shield
of Your salvation
, And Your bright
hand
upholds
me; And cYour 1gentleness
makes
me great
.
You aenlarge my steps
under
me, And my 1 bfeet
have not slipped
.
I apursued my enemies
and overtook
them, And I did not turn
back
buntil
they were consumed
.
I shattered them, so that they were anot able
to rise
; They fell
bunder
my feet
.
For You have agirded me with strength
for battle
; You have 1 bsubdued
under
me those who rose
up against me.
You have also made my enemies
aturn
their backs
to me, And I 1 bdestroyed
those who hated
me.
They cried for help
, but there
was anone
to save
, Even to the LORD
, but bHe did not answer
them.
Then I beat them fine
as the adust
before
the wind
; I emptied
them out as the mire
of the streets
.
You have delivered me from the acontentions
of the people
; You have placed
me as bhead
of the nations
; A cpeople
whom I have not known
serve
me.
As soon as they hear, they obey
me; Foreigners
1 asubmit
to me.
Foreigners afade
away
, And bcome
trembling
out of their 1fortresses
.
The LORD alives
, and blessed
be bmy rock
; And exalted
be cthe God
of my salvation
,
The God who aexecutes
vengeance
for me, And bsubdues
peoples
under
me.
He adelivers me from my enemies
; Surely
You blift
me above
those who rise
up against me; You rescue
me from the cviolent
man
.
Therefore I will agive
thanks
to You among the nations
, O LORD
, And I will bsing
praises
to Your name
.
He gives great 1 adeliverance
to His king
, And shows
lovingkindness
to bHis anointed
, To David
and chis 2descendants
forever
.
