2

He saidh559, " aThe LORDh3068 is my  1rockh5553 and my fortressh4686b and my delivererh6403;

3

 1 aMy Godh430, my rockh6697, in whom I takeh2620 refugeh2620, My  bshieldh4043 and  cthe hornh7161 of my salvationh3468, my strongholdh4869 and  dmy refugeh4498; My saviorh3467, You saveh3467 me from violenceh2555.

4

"I callh7121 upon the LORDh3068,  awho is worthy to be praisedh1984b, And I am savedh3467 from my enemiesh340.

5

"For  athe wavesh4867 of deathh4194 encompassedh661 me;  bThe torrentsh5158a of  1destructionh1100  2overwhelmedh1204 me;

6

 aThe cordsh2256a of  1Sheolh7585 surroundedh5437 me; The snaresh4170 of deathh4194 confrontedh6923 me.

7

aIn my distressh6862b I calledh7121 upon the LORDh3068, Yes, I  1criedh7121 to my Godh430; And from His templeh1964 He heardh8085 my voiceh6963, And my cryh7775 for helph7775 came into His earsh241.

8

"Then  athe earthh776 shookh1607 and quakedh7493,  bThe foundationsh4144 of heavenh8064 were tremblingh7264 And were shakenh1607, becauseh3588 He was angryh2734.

9

"Smokeh6227 wenth5927 up  1out of His nostrilsh639,  aFireh784 from His mouthh6310 devouredh398;  bCoalsh1513 were kindledh1197a by it.

10

"He bowedh5186 the heavensh8064 also, and cameh3381 downh3381 With  athickh6205 darknessh6205 underh8478 His feeth7272.

11

aAnd He rodeh7392 on a cherubh3742 and flewh5774a; And He  1appearedh7200 on  bthe wingsh3671 of the windh7307.

12

aAnd He madeh7896 darknessh2822  1canopiesh5521 aroundh5439 Him, A massh2841 of watersh4325, thickh5645 cloudsh5645 of the skyh7834.

13

"From the brightnessh5051 beforeh5048 Him  aCoalsh1513 of fireh784 were kindledh1197a.

14

aThe LORDh3068 thunderedh7481 from heavenh8064, And the Mosth5945b Highh5945b utteredh5414 His voiceh6963.

15

aAnd He senth7971 out arrowsh2671, and scatteredh6327a them, Lightningh1300, and  1routedh2000 them.

16

"Then the channelsh650 of the seah3220 appearedh7200, The foundationsh4144 of the worldh8398 were  1laidh1540 bareh1540 By the rebukeh1606 of the LORDh3068,  aAt the blasth5397 of the breathh7307 of His nostrilsh639.

17

aHe senth7971 from on highh4791, He tookh3947 me;  bHe drewh4871 me out of manyh7227a watersh4325.

18

"He deliveredh5337 me from my strongh5794 enemyh340, From those who hatedh8130 me, for they were tooh4480 strongh553 for me.

19

"They confrontedh6923 me in the dayh3117 of my calamityh343,  aBut the LORDh3068 was my supporth4937a.

20

aHe also broughth3318 me forthh3318 into a broadh4800 placeh4800; He rescuedh2502a me,  bbecauseh3588 He delightedh2654a in me.

21

aThe LORDh3068 has rewardedh1580 me according to my righteousnessh6666;  bAccording to the cleannessh1252 of my handsh3027 He has recompensedh7725 me.

22

aFor I have kepth8104 the waysh1870 of the LORDh3068, And have not actedh7561 wickedlyh7561 againsth4480 my Godh430.

23

aFor allh3605 His ordinancesh4941 were beforeh5048 me, And as for His statutesh2708, I did not departh5493 from  1them.

24

aI was also  1blamelessh8549 toward Him, And I kepth8104 myself from my iniquityh5771.

25

aTherefore the LORDh3068 has recompensedh7725 me according to my righteousnessh6666, According to my cleannessh1252 beforeh5048 His eyesh5869.

26

aWith the  1kindh2623 You showh2616a Yourself  1kindh2616a, With the  2blamelessh8549 You showh8552 Yourself  2blamelessh8552;

27

 aWith the pureh1305 You showh1305 Yourself pureh1305,  bAnd with the pervertedh6141 You showh6617 Yourself  1astuteh6617.

28

aAnd You saveh3467 an afflictedh6041 peopleh5971a;  bBut Your eyesh5869 are on the haughtyh7311 whom You abaseh8213.

29

aFor You are my lamph5216, O LORDh3068; And the LORDh3068 illuminesh5050 my darknessh2822.

30

aFor by You I can  1runh7323 upon a trooph1416; By my Godh430 I can leaph1801 over a wallh7791.

31

aAs for Godh410, His wayh1870 is  1blamelessh8549;  bThe wordh565a of the LORDh3068 is testedh6884;  cHe is a shieldh4043 to allh3605 who takeh2620 refugeh2620 in Him.

32

aFor whoh4310 is Godh410, besidesh1107 the LORDh3068?  bAnd whoh4310 is a rockh6697, besidesh1107 our Godh430?

33

aGodh410 is my strongh2428 fortressh4581; And He  1setsh5425b the  2blamelessh8549 in  3His wayh1870.

34

aHe makesh7737b  1my feeth7272 like hinds'h355 feet,  bAnd setsh5975 me on my highh1116 placesh1116.

35

aHe trainsh3925 my handsh3027 for battleh4421,  bSo that my armsh2220 can bendh5181 a bowh7198 of bronzeh5154.

36

"You have also givenh5414 me  athe shieldh4043 of Your salvationh3468, And Your  1helph6038 makesh7235a me greath7235a.

37

aYou enlargeh7337 my stepsh6806 underh8478 me, And my  1feeth7166 have not slippedh4571.

38

"I pursuedh7291 my enemiesh340 and  adestroyedh8045 them, And I did not turnh7725 backh7725 untilh5704 they were consumedh3615.

39

"And I have devouredh3615 them and shatteredh4272 them, so that they did not riseh6965; And  athey fellh5307 underh8478 my feeth7272.

40

"For You have girdedh247 me with strengthh2428 for battleh4421; You have  1subduedh3766 underh8478 me  athose who roseh6965 up against me.

41

"You have also  amadeh5414 my enemiesh340 turnh5414 their backsh6203 to me, And I  1destroyedh6789 those who hatedh8130 me.

42

aThey lookedh8159, but thereh369 was noneh369 to saveh3467;  bEven to the LORDh3068, but He did not answerh6030a them.

43

aThen I pulverizedh7833 them as the dusth6083 of the earthh776;  bI crushedh1854 and stampedh7554 them as the mireh2916 of the streetsh2351.

44

aYou have also deliveredh6403 me from the contentionsh7379 of my peopleh5971a;  bYou have kepth8104 me as headh7218 of the nationsh1471;  cA peopleh5971a whom I have not knownh3045 serveh5647 me.

45

aForeignersh1121h5236 pretendh3584 obedienceh3584 to me; As soon as they hearh241h8085, they obeyh8085 me.

46

"Foreignersh1121h5236  1loseh5034b hearth5034b,  aAnd  2comeh2296 tremblingh2296 out of their  3fortressesh4526.

47

"The LORDh3068 livesh2416a, and blessedh1288 be my rockh6697; And exaltedh7311 be  1 aGodh430, the rockh6697 of my salvationh3468,

48

 aThe Godh410 who executesh5414 vengeanceh5360 for me,  bAnd bringsh3381 downh3381 peoplesh5971a underh8478 me,

49

Who also bringsh3381 me out from my enemiesh340; You even lifth7311 me aboveh4480  athose who riseh6965 up against me;  bYou rescueh5337 me from the violenth2555 manh376.

50

aThereforeh5921h3651 I will giveh3034 thanksh3034 to You, O LORDh3068, among the nationsh1471, And I will singh2167 praisesh2167 to Your nameh8034.

51

aHe is a towerh4023a of  1deliveranceh3444 to His kingh4428, And  bshowsh6213a lovingkindnessh2617a to His anointedh4899,  cTo Davidh1732 and his  2descendantsh2233 foreverh5704h5769."
