2. The 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.
|
6. In 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.
|
7. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
|
8. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
|
11. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
|
13. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
|
14. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
|
15. Then 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.
|
17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
|
20. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
|
24. Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
|
25. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
|
30. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
|
35. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
|
37. I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
|
39. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
|
42. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
|
43. Thou 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.
|
48. He 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.
|
49. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
|
50. Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
