1.And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2.And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3.The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
4.I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
7.In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8.Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
10.He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11.And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
13.Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14.The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15.And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16.And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
18.He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19.They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20.He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21.The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22.For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23.For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
26.With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
28.And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
32.For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
38.I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39.And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
41.Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42.They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43.Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44.Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
46.Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47.The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
49.And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50.Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51.He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
