¹ And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. ² He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. ³ My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence. ⁴ I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies. ⁵ For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me. ⁶ The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. ⁷ In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears. ⁸ Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger. ⁹ Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth. ¹⁰ He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet. ¹¹ He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind. ¹² He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds. ¹³ From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth. ¹⁴ The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. ¹⁵ He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them. ¹⁶ The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils. ¹⁷ He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters. ¹⁸ He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me. ¹⁹ They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support. ²⁰ He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me. ²¹ The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands. ²² For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God. ²³ For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes. ²⁴ And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity. ²⁵ So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight. ²⁶ To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless; ²⁷ to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd. ²⁸ You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down. ²⁹ For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness. ³⁰ For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall. ³¹ As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. ³² For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? ³³ God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear. ³⁴ He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights. ³⁵ He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. ³⁶ You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me. ³⁷ You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way. ³⁸ I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed. ³⁹ I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet. ⁴⁰ You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me. ⁴¹ You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me. ⁴² They looked, but there was no one to save them—to the LORD, but He did not answer. ⁴³ I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets. ⁴⁴ You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me. ⁴⁵ Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me. ⁴⁶ Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds. ⁴⁷ The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted— ⁴⁸ the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me, ⁴⁹ who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men. ⁵⁰ Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name. ⁵¹ Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
