David’s Psalm of Deliverance

1 aAnd David spoke bthe words of this song to the Lord in the day that the Lord delivered him from the 1hand of all his enemies and from the 1hand of Saul.

2 He said,

“aThe Lord is my 1rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

3 1aMy God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

My bshield and cthe horn of my salvation, my stronghold and dmy refuge;

My savior, You save me from violence.

4 “I call upon the Lord, awho is worthy to be praised,

And I am saved from my enemies.

5 “For athe waves of death encompassed me;

bThe torrents of 1destruction 2overwhelmed me;

6 aThe cords of 1Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death confronted me.

7 “aIn my distress I called upon the Lord,

Yes, I 1cried to my God;

And from His temple He heard my voice,

And my cry for help came into His ears.

8 “Then athe earth shook and quaked,

bThe foundations of heaven were trembling

And were shaken, because He was angry.
