Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.
He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.
For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,
the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.
I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,
send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,
We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.
Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Yahweh our God.
They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help: hurry to help me.
Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.
Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah.
My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.
Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.
Yahweh’s voice is powerful. Yahweh’s voice is full of majesty.
Yahweh’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
Yahweh’s voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
Yahweh’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”
Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.
Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.
I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.
For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.
A man’s goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.
Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.
But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away, and exist no more.”
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
