022:001

And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer

022:002

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence

022:003

I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies

022:004

When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid

022:005

The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me

022:006

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears

022:007

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth

022:008

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it

022:009

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet

022:010

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind

022:011

And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies

022:012

Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled

022:013

The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice

022:014

And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them

022:015

And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils

022:016

He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters

022:017

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me

022:018

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay

022:019

He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me

022:020

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me

022:021

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God

022:022

For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them

022:023

I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity

022:024

Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight

022:025

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright

022:026

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury

022:027

And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down

022:028

For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness

022:029

For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall

022:030

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him

022:031

For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God

022:032

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect

022:033

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places

022:034

He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms

022:035

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great

022:036

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip

022:037

I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them

022:038

And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet

022:039

For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me

022:040

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me

022:041

They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not

022:042

Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad

022:043

Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me

022:044

Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me

022:045

Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places

022:046

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation

022:047

It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me

022:048

And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man

022:049

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name

022:050

He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore
