I WILL love thee, O LORD, my strength.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014636">2</a>. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014637">3</a>. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014638">4</a>. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014639">5</a>. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014640">6</a>. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014641">7</a>. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014642">8</a>. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014643">9</a>. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014644">10</a>. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014645">11</a>. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014646">12</a>. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014647">13</a>. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014648">14</a>. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014649">15</a>. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014650">16</a>. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014651">17</a>. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014652">18</a>. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014653">19</a>. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014654">20</a>. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014655">21</a>. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014656">22</a>. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014657">23</a>. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014658">24</a>. Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014659">25</a>. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014660">26</a>. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014661">27</a>. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014662">28</a>. For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014663">29</a>. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014664">30</a>. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014665">31</a>. For who is God save the LORD?  or who is a rock save our God?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014666">32</a>. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014667">33</a>. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014668">34</a>. He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014669">35</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014670">36</a>. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014671">37</a>. I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014672">38</a>. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014673">39</a>. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014674">40</a>. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014675">41</a>. They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014676">42</a>. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014677">43</a>. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014678">44</a>. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014679">45</a>. The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014680">46</a>. The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014681">47</a>. It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014682">48</a>. He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014683">49</a>. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014684">50</a>. Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.</li>
