²He said: The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, ³my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence. ⁴I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. ¹⁴The Lord thundered from heaven; the Most High uttered his voice. ¹⁵He sent out arrows, and scattered them—lightning, and routed them. ¹⁶Then the channels of the sea were seen, the foundations of the world were laid bare at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. ¹⁷He reached from on high, he took me, he drew me out of mighty waters. ¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me. ¹⁹They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay. ²⁰He brought me out into a broad place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. ²⁶With the loyal you show yourself loyal; with the blameless you show yourself blameless; ²⁷with the pure you show yourself pure, and with the crooked you show yourself perverse. ²⁸You deliver a humble people, but your eyes are upon the haughty to bring them down. ²⁹Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord, the Lord lightens my darkness. ³⁰By you I can crush a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. ³¹This God—his way is perfect; the promise of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all who take refuge in him. ³²For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? ³³The God who has girded me with strength has opened wide my path. ³⁴He made my feet like the feet of deer, and set me secure on the heights. ³⁵He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. ³⁶You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your help has made me great. ³⁷You have made me stride freely, and my feet do not slip; ⁴⁷The Lord lives! Blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation, ⁴⁸the God who gave me vengeance and brought down peoples under me, ⁴⁹who brought me out from my enemies; you exalted me above my adversaries, you delivered me from the violent. ⁵⁰For this I will extol you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises to your name. ⁵¹He is a tower of salvation for his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
