strength [00:19.47] [00:20.26]The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer [00:23.24] [00:24.15]My God my rock in whom I take refuge [00:27.24] [00:27.83]My shield and the horn of my salvation my strong hold [00:32.33] [00:33.60]I call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised [00:36.88]And I am saved from my enemies [00:38.99] [00:39.90]The cords of death encompassed me [00:42.16] [00:42.68]The torrents of perdition assailed me [00:45.08] [00:45.66]The cords of Sheol entangled me [00:48.25]The snares of death confronted me [00:50.58] [00:51.59]In my distress I called upon the Lord [00:53.97] [00:54.68]To my God I cried for help [00:56.41] [00:57.32]From his temple he heard my voice [00:59.74] [01:00.38]And my cry to him reached his ears [01:02.42] [01:03.61]Then the earth reeled and rocked [01:05.94] [01:06.44]The foundations also of the mountains trembled [01:09.86]And quaked because he was angry [01:11.99] [01:13.35]Smoke went up from his nostrils [01:15.04] [01:15.59]And devouring fire from his mouth [01:17.55] [01:18.14]Glowing coals flamed forth from him [01:20.98]He bowed the heavens and came down [01:23.35] [01:24.06]Thick darkness was under his feet [01:26.50] [01:27.37]He rode on a cherub and flew [01:29.11] [01:29.90]He came swiftly upon the wings of the wind [01:32.16] [01:32.90]He made darkness his covering around him [01:35.52]His canopy thick clouds dark with water [01:38.37] [01:39.63]Out of the brightness before him [01:41.84]There broke through his clouds [01:43.47]Hailstones and coals of fire [01:45.52] [01:46.55]The Lord also thundered in the heavens [01:49.70]And the Most High uttered his voice [01:52.02] [01:52.60]Hailstones and coals of fire [01:54.69] [01:55.49]And he sent out his arrows and scattered them [01:58.24] [01:58.92]He flashed forth lightnings and routed them [02:01.81]Then the channels of the sea were seen [02:04.26] [02:04.79]And the foundations of the world were laid bare [02:07.86]At thy rebuke O Lord [02:09.93]At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils [02:12.58] [02:13.61]He reached from on high he took me [02:16.31] [02:17.33]He drew me out of many waters [02:19.53] [02:20.66]He delivered me from my strong enemy [02:22.74] [02:23.42]And from those who hated me [02:25.03]For they were too mighty for me [02:26.78] [02:27.70]They came upon me in the day of my calamity [02:30.58]But the Lord was my stay [02:32.34] [02:33.23]He brought me forth into a broad place [02:35.48] [02:36.58]He delivered me because he delighted in me [02:40.28] [02:41.62]The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness [02:44.75] [02:45.37]According to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me [02:49.43] [02:50.02]For I have kept the ways of the Lord [02:52.45]And have not wickedly departed from my God [02:54.68] [02:55.37]For all his ordinances were before me [02:58.32]And his statutes I did not put away from me [03:00.86] [03:01.70]I was blameless before him [03:03.70] [03:04.38]And I kept myself from guilt [03:06.12] [03:07.05]Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness [03:11.04] [03:11.56]According to the cleanness of my hands in his sight [03:14.27] [03:15.42]With the loyal thou dost show thyself loyal [03:18.23] [03:19.08]With the blameless man thou dost show thyself blameless [03:22.78] [03:23.56]With the pure thou dost show thyself pure [03:26.51] [03:27.05]And with the crooked thou dost show thyself perverse [03:30.47] [03:31.54]For thou dost deliver a humble people [03:33.76] [03:34.60]But the haughty eyes thou dost bring down [03:37.59] [03:38.34]Yea thou dost light my lamp [03:40.47] [03:41.10]The Lord my God lightens my darkness [03:43.41] [03:43.92]Yea by thee I can crush a troop [03:47.36] [03:48.18]And by my God I can leap over a wall [03:50.58] [03:51.78]This God his way is perfect [03:53.92] [03:54.68]The promise of the Lord proves true [03:56.64] [03:57.28]He is a refuge for all those who take refuge in him [04:01.44] [04:03.31]For who is God but the Lord [04:04.88] [04:05.62]And who is a rock except our God [04:07.65] [04:08.52]The God who girded me with strength [04:10.64]And made my way safe [04:11.90] [04:12.81]He made my feet like hinds feet [04:15.40] [04:16.08]And set me secure on the heights [04:17.49] [04:18.05]He trains my hands for war [04:19.76] [04:20.49]So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze [04:23.02] [04:24.05]Thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation [04:26.54] [04:27.08]And thy right hand supported me [04:28.69] [04:29.20]And thy help made me great [04:30.83] [04:31.71]Thou didst give me a wide place for my steps under me [04:35.15] [04:36.00]And my feet did not slip [04:37.65] [04:38.71]I pursued my enemies and overtook them [04:40.96] [04:41.54]And did not turn back till they were consumed [04:44.24] [04:45.12]I thrust them through so that they were not able to rise [04:49.60]They fell under my feet [04:50.96] [04:51.51]For thou didst gird me with strength for the battle [04:54.65] [04:55.59]Thou didst make my assailants sink under me [04:58.02] [04:58.69]Thou didst make my enemies turn their backs to me [05:02.15]And those who hated me I destroyed [05:04.73] [05:05.59]They cried for help but there was none to save [05:08.57] [05:09.34]They cried to the Lord but he did not answer them [05:12.52] [05:13.15]I beat them fine as dust before the wind [05:16.42]I cast them out like the mire of the streets [05:19.06] [05:19.88]Thou didst deliver me from strife with the peoples [05:23.50]Thou didst make me the head of the nations [05:25.63] [05:26.26]People whom I had not known served me [05:29.66] [05:30.59]As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me [05:33.25] [05:34.08]Foreigners came cringing to me [05:36.52]Foreigners lost heart [05:38.20]And came trembling out of their fastnesses [05:40.69] [05:41.84]The Lord lives and blessed be my rock [05:44.49] [05:45.09]And exalted be the God of my salvation [05:47.81] [05:48.62]The God who gave me vengeance [05:50.66]Do peoples before me [05:51.91] [05:52.90]Who delivered me from my enemies [05:54.75] [05:55.27]Yea thou didst exalt me above my adversaries [05:58.63] [05:59.31]Thou didst deliver me from men of violence [06:01.79] [06:02.66]For this I will extol thee O Lord among the nations [06:07.40] [06:08.13]And sing praises to thy name [06:09.99] [06:10.72]Great triumphs he gives to his king [06:12.74] [06:13.37]And shows steadfast love to his anointed [06:16.38]To David and his descendants for ever
