Psalms
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.
Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.
He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.
I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.
Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore. Psalm 19 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
