22:1   When the LORD saved David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang this song to the LORD:

22:2   The LORD is my protector; he is my strong fortress.

22:3   My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe. He is my savior; he protects me and saves me from violence.

22:4   I call to the LORD, and he saves me from my enemies. Praise the LORD!

22:5   The waves of death were all around me; the waves of destruction rolled over me.

22:6   The danger of death was around me, and the grave set its trap for me.

22:7   In my trouble I called to the LORD; I called to my God for help. In his temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help.

22:8   Then the earth trembled and shook; the foundations of the sky rocked and quivered because God was angry!

22:9   Smoke poured out of his nostrils, a consuming flame and burning coals from his mouth.

22:10   He tore the sky open and came down, with a dark cloud under his feet.

22:11   He flew swiftly on his winged creature; he traveled on the wings of the wind.

22:12   He covered himself with darkness; thick clouds, full of water, surrounded him;

22:13   burning coals flamed up from the lightning before him.

22:14   Then the LORD thundered from the sky, and the voice of Almighty God was heard.

22:15   He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; with flashes of lightning he sent them running.

22:16   The floor of the ocean was laid bare, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered when the LORD rebuked his enemies and roared at them in anger.

22:17   The LORD reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me out of the deep waters.

22:18   He rescued me from my powerful enemies and from all those who hate me--- they were too strong for me.

22:19   When I was in trouble, they attacked me, but the LORD protected me.

22:20   He helped me out of danger; he saved me because he was pleased with me.

22:21   The LORD rewards me because I do what is right; he blesses me because I am innocent.

22:22   I have obeyed the law of the LORD; I have not turned away from my God.

22:23   I have observed all his laws; I have not disobeyed his commands.

22:24   He knows that I am faultless, that I have kept myself from doing wrong.

22:25   And so he rewards me because I do what is right, because he knows that I am innocent.

22:26   O LORD, you are faithful to those who are faithful to you, and completely good to those who are perfect.

22:27   You are pure to those who are pure, but hostile to those who are wicked.

22:28   You save those who are humble, but you humble those who are proud.

22:29   You, LORD, are my light; you dispel my darkness.

22:30   You give me strength to attack my enemies and power to overcome their defenses.

22:31   This God---how perfect are his deeds, how dependable his words! He is like a shield for all who seek his protection.

22:32   The LORD alone is God; God alone is our defense.

22:33   This God is my strong refuge; he makes my pathway safe.

22:34   He makes me sure-footed as a deer; he keeps me safe on the mountains.

22:35   He trains me for battle, so that I can use the strongest bow.

22:36   O LORD, you protect me and save me; your help has made me great.

22:37   You have kept me from being captured, and I have never fallen.

22:38   I pursue my enemies and defeat them; I do not stop until I destroy them.

22:39   I strike them down, and they cannot rise; they lie defeated before me.

22:40   You give me strength for the battle and victory over my enemies.

22:41   You make my enemies run from me; I destroy those who hate me.

22:42   They look for help, but no one saves them; they call to the LORD, but he does not answer.

22:43   I crush them, and they become like dust; I trample on them like mud in the streets.

22:44   You saved me from my rebellious people and maintained my rule over the nations; people I did not know have now become my subjects.

22:45   Foreigners bow before me; when they hear me, they obey.

22:46   They lose their courage and come trembling from their fortresses.

22:47   The LORD lives! Praise my defender! Proclaim the greatness of the strong God who saves me!

22:48   He gives me victory over my enemies; he subdues the nations under me

22:49   and saves me from my foes. O LORD, you give me victory over my enemies and protect me from violent men.

22:50   And so I praise you among the nations; I sing praises to you.

22:51   God gives great victories to his king; he shows constant love to the one he has chosen, to David and his descendants forever.
