David sang this song to the Lord when the Lord saved him from Saul and all his other enemies. |
2
|
The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, my place of safety. |
3
|
He is my God, the Rock I run to for protection. He is my shield; by his power I am saved. He is my hiding place, my place of safety, high in the hills. He is my savior, the one who saves me from the cruel enemy. |
4
|
I called to the Lord for help, and he saved me from my enemies. He is worthy of my praise! |
5
|
Waves of death were crashing around me. A deadly flood was carrying me away. |
6
|
The ropes of the grave wrapped around me. Death set its trap right there in front of me. |
7
|
In my trouble I called to the Lord. Yes, I cried out to my God for help. There in his temple he heard my voice. He heard my cry for help. |
8
|
The earth shook and shivered. The foundations of heaven trembled. They shook because the Lord was angry. |
9
|
Smoke came from his nose. Burning flames came from his mouth. Red-hot coals fell from him. |
10
|
He tore open the sky and came down! He stood on a thick, dark cloud. |
11
|
He flew across the sky, riding on a Cherub angel, gliding on the wings of the wind. |
12
|
He wrapped himself in darkness that covered him like a tent. He was hidden by dark clouds filled with water. |
13
|
Out of the brightness before him, flashes of lightning came down. |
14
|
The Lord thundered from the sky. God Most High let his voice be heard. |
15
|
He scattered the enemy with his arrows— the lightning bolts that threw them into confusion. |
16
|
The Lord shouted his command, and a powerful wind began to blow. Then the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the earth's foundations were uncovered. |
17
|
The Lord reached down from above and grabbed me. He pulled me from the deep water. |
18
|
He saved me from my powerful enemies, who hated me. They were too strong for me, so he saved me. |
19
|
They attacked me in my time of trouble, but the Lord was there to support me. |
20
|
He was pleased with me, so he rescued me. He took me to a safe place. |
21
|
The Lord rewarded me for doing what is right. He was good to me because I am innocent. |
22
|
The Lord did this because I have obeyed him. I have not turned against my God. |
23
|
I always remembered his laws. I never stopped following his rules. |
24
|
He knows I did nothing that was wrong. I have kept myself from sinning. |
25
|
So the Lord rewarded me for doing what is right. He could see that I am innocent. |
26
|
Lord, you are faithful to those who are faithful. You are good to those who are good. |
27
|
You never do wrong to those who have done no wrong. But you outsmart the wicked, no matter how clever they are. |
28
|
You help those who are humble, but as soon as you see the proud, you humiliate them. |
29
|
Lord, you are my lamp. You, Lord, turn the darkness around me into light. |
30
|
With your help I can defeat an army. If my God is with me, I can climb over enemy walls. |
31
|
God's way is perfect. The Lord's promise always proves to be true. He protects those who trust him. |
32
|
There is no God except the Lord. There is no Rock except our God. |
33
|
God is my strong fortress. He clears the path I need to take. |
34
|
He makes my feet as steady as those of a deer. Even on steep mountains he keeps me from falling. |
35
|
He trains me for war so that my arms can bend the most powerful bow. |
36
|
Lord, you have given me your shield to protect me. It is your help that has made me great. |
37
|
You cleared a path for my feet so that I could walk without stumbling. |
38
|
I chased my enemies and defeated them. I did not stop until they were destroyed. |
39
|
I destroyed my enemies. I struck them down. They did not get up again. They fell under my feet. |
40
|
Lord, you made me strong in battle. You made my enemies fall before me. |
41
|
You made my enemies turn and run away. I destroyed those who hated me. |
42
|
They looked for help, but there was no one to save them. They cried out to the Lord, but he did not answer them. |
43
|
I beat my enemies into pieces like dust on the ground. I smashed them and walked on them like mud in the streets. |
44
|
You saved me from those who fought against me. You made me the ruler over nations. People I never knew now serve me. |
45
|
Foreigners fall helpless before me! As soon as they heard about me, they were ready to obey. |
46
|
They lose all their courage and come out of their hiding places shaking with fear. |
47
|
The Lord lives! I praise my Rock! How great is my God, the Rock who saves me! |
48
|
He is the God who punishes my enemies for me, the one who puts people under my rule. |
49
|
He saves me from my enemies! You, Lord, help me defeat those who attack me. You save me from cruel people. |
50
|
Lord, that is why I praise you among the nations. That is why I sing songs of praise to your name. |
51
|
The Lord helps his king win battle after battle. He shows his faithful love to the one he has chosen, to David and his descendants forever. |
