KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 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.
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7 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.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 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.
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 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.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 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.
44 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.
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49 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.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
1 And Dauid spake vnto the Lord the wordes of this song, in the day that the Lord had deliuered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
2 And he said, The Lord is my rocke and my fortresse, and my deliuerer:
3 The God of my rocke, in him will I trust: hee is my shield, and the horne of my saluation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Sauiour; thou sauest me from violence.
4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saued from mine enemies.
5 When the waues of death compassed me: the floods of vngodly men made me afraid.
6 The sorowes of Hell compassed me about: the snares of death preuented me.
7 In my distresse I called vpon the Lord, and cryed to my God, and hee did heare my voice out of his Temple, and my crie did enter into his eares.
8 Then the earth shooke and trembled: the foundations of heauen mooued and shooke, because hee was wroth.
9 There went vp a smoake out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth deuoured: coales were kindled by it.
10 Hee bowed the heauens also and came downe: and darkenesse was vnder his feete.
11 And he rode vpon a Cherub, and did flie: and hee was seene vpon the wings of the winde.
12 And hee made darkenesse pauilions round about him, darke waters, and thicke clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightnesse before him, were coales of fire kindled.
14 The Lord thundred from heauen: and the most high vttered his voice.
15 And he sent out arrowes, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 And the channels of the Sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discouered, at the rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 He sent from aboue, he tooke me: he drew me out of many waters.
18 He deliuered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated mee: for they were too strong for me.
19 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
20 Hee brought me forth also into a large place: he deliuered me, because hee delighted in me.
21 The Lord rewarded mee according to my righteousnesse: according to the cleannesse of my hands, hath hee recompensed me.
22 For I haue kept the wayes of the Lord, and haue not wickedly departed from my God.
23 For all his iudgements were before me: and as for his Statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 I was also vpright before him: and haue kept my selfe from mine iniquitie.
25 Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me, according to my righteousnesse: according to my cleannesse in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thy selfe mercifull, and with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thy selfe pure: and with the froward, thou wilt shew thy selfe vnsauoury.
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt saue: but thine eyes are vpon the hautie, that thou mayest bring them downe.
29 For thou art my lampe, O Lord: and the Lord wil lighten my darkenesse.
30 For by thee I haue run through a troupe: by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall.
31 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.
32 For who is God, saue the Lord ? and who is a rocke, saue our God?
33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34 Hee maketh my feet like hindes feet: and setteth mee vpon my high places.
35 He teacheth my hands to warre: so that a bow of steele is broken by mine armes.
36 Thou hast also giuen mee the shield of thy saluation: and thy gentlenesse hath made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder me: so that my feet did not slip.
38 I haue pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them: and turned not againe vntill I had consumed them.
39 And I haue consumed them and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen vnder my feet.
40 For thou hast girded mee with strength to battel: them that rose vp against me, hast thou subdued vnder me.
41 Thou hast also giuen mee the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to saue: euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth: I did stampe them as the myre of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 Thou also hast deliuered mee from the striuings of my people, thou hast kept mee to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not, shall serue me.
45 Strangers shall submit themselues vnto me: as soone as they heare, they shall be obedient vnto me.
46 Strangers shall fade away: and they shall bee afraid out of their close places.
47 The Lord liueth, and blessed be my rocke: and exalted be the God of the rocke of my saluation.
48 It is God that auengeth mee, and that bringeth downe the people vnder me:
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted mee vp on high aboue them that rose vp against me: thou hast deliuered me from the violent man.
50 Therefore I will giue thankes vnto thee, O Lord, among the heathen: and I will sing praises vnto thy Name.
51 He is the towre of saluation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his Anointed, vnto Dauid, and to his seede for euermore.
