1I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.studyinterlinear
2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.studyinterlinear
3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.studyinterlinear
4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.studyinterlinear
5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.studyinterlinear
6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.studyinterlinear
7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.studyinterlinear
8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.studyinterlinear
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.studyinterlinear
10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.studyinterlinear
11He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.studyinterlinear
12At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.studyinterlinear
13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.studyinterlinear
14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.studyinterlinear
15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.studyinterlinear
16He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.studyinterlinear
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.studyinterlinear
18They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.studyinterlinear
19He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.studyinterlinear
20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.studyinterlinear
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.studyinterlinear
22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.studyinterlinear
23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.studyinterlinear
24Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.studyinterlinear
25With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;studyinterlinear
26With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.studyinterlinear
27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.studyinterlinear
28For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.studyinterlinear
29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.studyinterlinear
30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.studyinterlinear
31For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?studyinterlinear
32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.studyinterlinear
33He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.studyinterlinear
34He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.studyinterlinear
35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.studyinterlinear
36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.studyinterlinear
37I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.studyinterlinear
38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.studyinterlinear
39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.studyinterlinear
40Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.studyinterlinear
41They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.studyinterlinear
42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.studyinterlinear
43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.studyinterlinear
44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.studyinterlinear
45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.studyinterlinear
46The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.studyinterlinear
47It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.studyinterlinear
48He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.studyinterlinear
49Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.studyinterlinear
50Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.studyinterlinear
