Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul: <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> And he said, The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour, even mine; <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear; <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And he went through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And he made the dark his tent round him, a mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> Then the deep beds of the sea were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of the Lord&#8217;s wrath, because of the breath of his mouth. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright; <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge. <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but your eyes are on men of pride, to make them low. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> For you are my light, O Lord; and the Lord will make the dark bright for me. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> For who is God but the Lord? and who is a Rock but our God? <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> He makes my feet like roes&#8217; feet, and puts me on high places. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great. <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip. <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> I have sent destruction on them and given them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet. <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me. <\/br><strong>41<\/strong> By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off. <\/br><strong>42<\/strong> They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer. <\/br><strong>43<\/strong> Then they were crushed as small as the dust of the earth, stamped down under my feet like the waste of the streets. <\/br><strong>44<\/strong> You have made me free from the fightings of my people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants. <\/br><strong>45<\/strong> Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me. <\/br><strong>46<\/strong> They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear. <\/br><strong>47<\/strong> The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured: <\/br><strong>48<\/strong> It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule. <\/br><strong>49<\/strong> He makes me free from my haters: I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man. <\/br><strong>50<\/strong> Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name. <\/br><strong>51<\/strong> Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot
