22:1 And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul:
22:2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
22:9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
22:10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
22:11 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
22:12 And he made darkness pavilions around him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
22:13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
22:14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
22:15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid open, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
22:17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
22:37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet have not slipped.
22:38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
22:39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they have fallen under my feet.
22:40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
22:41 Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
22:42 They looked, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he answered them not.
22:43 Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I stamped them as the mire of the street, and spread them abroad.
22:44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
22:45 Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
22:46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall tremble from their close places.
22:48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
22:49 And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
22:50 Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will singpraises to thy name.
