For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD,  awho spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said,

1

"I loveh7355 You, O LORDh3068,  amy strengthh2391."

2

The LORDh3068 is  amy  1rockh5553 and  bmy fortressh4686b and my  cdelivererh6403, My Godh410, my rockh6697, in whom I takeh2620 refugeh2620; My  dshieldh4043 and the  ehornh7161 of my salvationh3468, my  fstrongholdh4869.

3

I callh7121 upon the LORDh3068, who is  aworthy to be praisedh1984b, And I am  bsavedh3467 from my enemiesh340.

4

The  acordsh2256a of deathh4194 encompassedh661 me, And the  btorrentsh5158a of  1ungodlinessh1100  2terrifiedh1204 me.

5

The  acordsh2256a of  1Sheolh7585 surroundedh5437 me; The snaresh4170 of deathh4194 confrontedh6923 me.

6

In my  adistressh6862b I calledh7121 upon the LORDh3068, And criedh7768 to my Godh430 for helph7768; He heardh8085 my voiceh6963  bout of His templeh1964, And my  ccryh7775 for helph7775 beforeh6440 Him cameh935 into His earsh241.

7

Then the  aearthh776 shookh1607 and quakedh7493; And the  bfoundationsh4144 of the mountainsh2022 were tremblingh7264 And were shakenh1607, becauseh3588 He was angryh2734.

8

Smokeh6227 wenth5927 up  1out of His nostrilsh639, And  afireh784 from His mouthh6310 devouredh398; Coalsh1513 were kindledh1197a by it.

9

He  abowedh5186 the heavensh8064 also, and cameh3381 downh3381 With thickh6205  bdarknessh6205 underh8478 His feeth7272.

10

He rodeh7392 upon a  acherubh3742 and flewh5774a; And He spedh1675 upon the  bwingsh3671 of the windh7307.

11

He madeh7896  adarknessh2822 His hidingh5643a placeh5643a,  bHis  1canopyh5521 aroundh5439 Him, Darknessh2825 of watersh4325, thickh5645 cloudsh5645 of the skiesh7834.

12

From the  abrightnessh5051 beforeh5048 Him passedh5674a His thickh5645 cloudsh5645, Hailstonesh1259 and  bcoalsh1513 of fireh784.

13

The LORDh3068 also  athunderedh7481 in the heavensh8064, And the Mosth5945b Highh5945b utteredh5414 His voiceh6963, Hailstonesh1259 and coalsh1513 of fireh784.

14

He  asenth7971 out His arrowsh2671, and scatteredh6327a them, And lightningh1300 flashesh1300 in abundanceh7227a, and  1routedh2000 them.

15

Then the  achannelsh650 of waterh4325 appearedh7200, And the foundationsh4144 of the worldh8398 were  1laidh1540 bareh1540 At Your  brebukeh1606, O LORDh3068, At the blasth5397 of the  cbreathh7307 of Your nostrilsh639.

16

He  asenth7971 from on highh4791, He tookh3947 me; He drewh4871 me out of  bmanyh7227a watersh4325.

17

He  adeliveredh5337 me from my strongh5794 enemyh340, And from those who hatedh8130 me, for they were  btooh4480 mightyh553 for me.

18

They confrontedh6923 me in  athe dayh3117 of my calamityh343, But  bthe LORDh3068 was my stayh4937a.

19

He broughth3318 me forthh3318 also into a  abroadh4800 placeh4800; He rescuedh2502a me, becauseh3588  bHe delightedh2654a in me.

20

The LORDh3068 has  arewardedh1580 me according to my righteousnessh6664; According to the  bcleannessh1252 of my handsh3027 He has recompensedh7725 me.

21

For I have  akepth8104 the waysh1870 of the LORDh3068, And have  bnot wickedlyh7561 departedh7561 from my Godh430.

22

For allh3605  aHis ordinancesh4941 were beforeh5048 me, And I did not puth5493 awayh5493 His  bstatutesh2708 from me.

23

I was also  1 ablamelessh8549 with Him, And I  bkepth8104 myself from my iniquityh5771.

24

Therefore the LORDh3068 has  arecompensedh7725 me according to my righteousnessh6664, According to the cleannessh1252 of my handsh3027 in His eyesh5869.

25

With  athe kindh2623 You showh2616a Yourself kindh2616a; With the  1blamelessh8549  bYou showh8552 Yourself blamelessh8552;

26

With the pureh1305 You showh1305 Yourself  apureh1305, And with the crookedh6141  bYou showh6617 Yourself  1astuteh6617.

27

For You  asaveh3467 an afflictedh6041 peopleh5971a, But  bhaughtyh7311 eyesh5869 You abaseh8213.

28

For You  alighth215 my lamph5216; The LORDh3068 my Godh430  billuminesh5050 my darknessh2822.

29

For by You I can  1 arunh7323 upon a trooph1416; And by my Godh430 I can  bleaph1801 over a wallh7791.

30

As for Godh410, His wayh1870 is  1 ablamelessh8549; The  bwordh565a of the LORDh3068 is triedh6884; He is a  cshieldh4043 to allh3605 who takeh2620 refugeh2620 in Him.

31

For  awhoh4310 is Godh433, but the LORDh3068? And whoh4310 is a  brockh6697, excepth2108 our Godh430,

32

The Godh410 who  agirdsh247 me with strengthh2428 And  1makesh5414 my wayh1870  2 bblamelessh8549?

33

He  amakesh7737b my feeth7272 like hinds'h355 feet, And  bsetsh5975 me upon my highh1116 placesh1116.

34

He  atrainsh3925 my handsh3027 for battleh4421, So that my armsh2220 can  bbendh5181 a bowh7198 of bronzeh5154.

35

You have also givenh5414 me  athe shieldh4043 of Your salvationh3468, And Your  brighth3225 handh3225 upholdsh5582 me; And  cYour  1gentlenessh6038 makesh7235a me greath7235a.

36

You  aenlargeh7337 my stepsh6806 underh8478 me, And my  1 bfeeth7166 have not slippedh4571.

37

I  apursuedh7291 my enemiesh340 and overtookh5381 them, And I did not turnh7725 backh7725  buntilh5704 they were consumedh3615.

38

I shatteredh4272 them, so that they were  anot ableh3201 to riseh6965; They fellh5307  bunderh8478 my feeth7272.

39

For You have  agirdedh247 me with strengthh2428 for battleh4421; You have  1 bsubduedh3766 underh8478 me those who roseh6965 up against me.

40

You have also madeh5414 my enemiesh340  aturnh5414 their backsh6203 to me, And I  1 bdestroyedh6789 those who hatedh8130 me.

41

They criedh7768 for helph7768, but thereh369 was  anoneh369 to saveh3467, Even to the LORDh3068, but  bHe did not answerh6030a them.

42

Then I beath7833 them fineh7833 as the  adusth6083 beforeh5921h6440 the windh7307; I emptiedh7385a them out as the mireh2916 of the streetsh2351.

43

You have deliveredh6403 me from the  acontentionsh7379 of the peopleh5971a; You have placedh7760 me as  bheadh7218 of the nationsh1471; A  cpeopleh5971a whom I have not knownh3045 serveh5647 me.

44

As soon as they hearh8088h241, they obeyh8085 me; Foreignersh1121h5236  1 asubmith3584 to me.

45

Foreignersh1121h5236  afadeh5034b awayh5034b, And  bcomeh2727 tremblingh2727 out of their  1fortressesh4526.

46

The LORDh3068  alivesh2416a, and blessedh1288 be  bmy rockh6697; And exaltedh7311 be  cthe Godh430 of my salvationh3468,

47

The Godh410 who  aexecutesh5414 vengeanceh5360 for me, And  bsubduesh1696 peoplesh5971a underh8478 me.

48

He  adeliversh6403 me from my enemiesh340; Surelyh637 You  blifth7311 me aboveh4480 those who riseh6965 up against me; You rescueh5337 me from the  cviolenth2555 manh376.

49

Thereforeh5921h3651 I will  agiveh3034 thanksh3034 to You among the nationsh1471, O LORDh3068, And I will  bsingh2167 praisesh2167 to Your nameh8034.

50

He gives greath1431  1 adeliveranceh3444 to His kingh4428, And showsh6213a lovingkindnessh2617a to  bHis anointedh4899, To Davidh1732 and  chis  2descendantsh2233 foreverh5704h5769.
