New International Version NIV

1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

1 I love you, LORD, my strength.

2 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.

2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, so shall I be saved from my enemies.

3 I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.

4 The pain of death compassed me, and the rivers of Belial made me afraid.

4 The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

5 The pain of Sheol compassed me about: the snares of death came before me.

5 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.

6 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.

6 In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the mountains collapsed and were removed because he was wroth.

7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.

8 Smoke went up out of his nostrils, and fire devoured out of his mouth; coals were kindled by it.

8 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.

9 He lowered the heavens and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

9 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

10 And he rode upon a cherub and flew: yea, he flew upon the wings of the wind.

10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his hiding place; in his tabernacle round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the heavens.

11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.

12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

13 The LORD thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

14 He sent out his arrows and scattered them; he shot out lightnings and destroyed them.

14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

15 Then the depths of the 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.

15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, even though they were too strong for me.

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.

18 They were ready for me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my staff.

18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.

19 He brought me forth also into a wide place; he delivered me because he delighted in me.

19 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

20 The LORD will reward me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he shall recompense me.

20 The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

21 Because I have kept the ways of the LORD and did not become wicked departing in apostasy from my God.

21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God.

22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

22 All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.

23 I was perfect before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

23 I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.

24 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

24 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with a perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26 with the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt show thyself adversary.

26 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

27 Therefore thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down high looks.

27 You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

28 For thou wilt light my fire: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

28 You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

29 For with thee I have scattered armies; and in my God I have overcome walled defenses.

29 With your help I can advance against a troop ; with my God I can scale a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is precise: a shield to all those that wait in him.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

31 For who is God except the LORD? or who is a refuge except our God?

31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

32 It is God that girds me with strength and makes my way perfect.

32 It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

33 He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and sets me upon my high places.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.

34 He trains my hands for the battle, so that a bow of bronze shall be broken by my arms.

34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 In the same manner thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand will hold me up, and thy meekness shall multiply me.

35 You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great.

36 Thou shall enlarge my steps under me, and my knees shall not tremble.

36 You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

37 I shall pursue my enemies and overtake them: neither shall I turn again until they are consumed.

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

38 I shall smite them, and they will not be able to rise: they shall fall under my feet.

38 I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued my enemies under me.

39 You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.

40 Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies that I might destroy those that hate me.

40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.

41 They cried out, but there was no one to save them: even unto the LORD, but he did not answer them.

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but he did not answer.

42 Then I beat them as small as the dust before the wind: I scattered them as the dirt in the streets.

42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.

43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the Gentiles: a people whom I did not know served me.

43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,

44 As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me: the sons of strangers submitted themselves unto me even against their will.

44 foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

45 The strangers fell away and were afraid in their close places.

45 They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.

46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!

47 It is God that avenges me and subdues the peoples under me.

47 He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,

48 He delivers me from my enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the one who would betray me.

48 who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.

49 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the Gentiles and sing praises unto thy name.

49 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.

50 He gives great deliverance to his king and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

50 He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.
