"I love You, O LORD, amy strength."
2The 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.
3I call upon the LORD, who is aworthy to be praised, And I am bsaved from my enemies.
4The acords of death encompassed me, And the btorrents of 1ungodliness 2terrified me.
5The acords of 1Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
6In 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.
7Then the aearth shook and quaked; And the bfoundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
8Smoke went up 1out of His nostrils, And afire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.
9He abowed the heavens also, and came down With thick bdarkness under His feet.
10He rode upon a acherub and flew; And He sped upon the bwings of the wind.
11He made adarkness His hiding place, bHis 1canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12From the abrightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and bcoals of fire.
13The LORD also athundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
14He asent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and 1routed them.
15Then 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.
16He asent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of bmany waters.
17He adelivered me from my strong enemy, And from those who hated me, for they were btoo mighty for me.
18They confronted me in athe day of my calamity, But bthe LORD was my stay.
19He brought me forth also into a abroad place; He rescued me, because bHe delighted in me.
20The LORD has arewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the bcleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
21For I have akept the ways of the LORD, And have bnot wickedly departed from my God.
22For all aHis ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His bstatutes from me.
23I was also 1 ablameless with Him, And I bkept myself from my iniquity.
24Therefore the LORD has arecompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
25With athe kind You show Yourself kind; With the 1blameless bYou show Yourself blameless;
26With the pure You show Yourself apure, And with the crooked bYou show Yourself 1astute.
27For You asave an afflicted people, But bhaughty eyes You abase.
28For You alight my lamp; The LORD my God billumines my darkness.
29For by You I can 1 arun upon a troop; And by my God I can bleap over a wall.
30As 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.
31For awho is God, but the LORD? And who is a brock, except our God,
32The God who agirds me with strength And 1makes my way 2 bblameless?
33He amakes my feet like hinds' feet, And bsets me upon my high places.
34He atrains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bbend a bow of bronze.
35You have also given me athe shield of Your salvation, And Your bright hand upholds me; And cYour 1gentleness makes me great.
36You aenlarge my steps under me, And my 1 bfeet have not slipped.
37I apursued my enemies and overtook them, And I did not turn back buntil they were consumed.
38I shattered them, so that they were anot able to rise; They fell bunder my feet.
39For You have agirded me with strength for battle; You have 1 bsubdued under me those who rose up against me.
40You have also made my enemies aturn their backs to me, And I 1 bdestroyed those who hated me.
41They cried for help, but there was anone to save, Even to the LORD, but bHe did not answer them.
42Then I beat them fine as the adust before the wind; I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.
43You 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.
44As soon as they hear, they obey me; Foreigners 1 asubmit to me.
45Foreigners afade away, And bcome trembling out of their 1fortresses.
46The LORD alives, and blessed be bmy rock; And exalted be cthe God of my salvation,
47The God who aexecutes vengeance for me, And bsubdues peoples under me.
48He adelivers me from my enemies; Surely You blift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the cviolent man.
49Therefore I will agive thanks to You among the nations, O LORD, And I will bsing praises to Your name.
50He gives great 1 adeliverance to His king, And shows lovingkindness to bHis anointed, To David and chis 2descendants forever.
