Compare: 2 Samuel 22

KJV

And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

KJV

And he said, The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

KJV

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

KJV

I will call on the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

KJV

When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

KJV

The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

KJV

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry [did enter] into his ears.

KJV

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

KJV

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

KJV

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness [was] under his feet.

KJV

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

KJV

And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies.

KJV

Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

KJV

The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

KJV

And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

KJV

And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

KJV

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

KJV

He delivered me from my strong enemy, [and] from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

KJV

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

KJV

He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

KJV

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

KJV

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

KJV

For all his judgments [were] before me: and [as for] his statutes, I did not depart from them.

KJV

I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.

KJV

Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

KJV

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, [and] with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

KJV

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.

KJV

And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes [are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.

KJV

For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

KJV

For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

KJV

[As for] God, his way [is] perfect; the word of the LORD [is] tried: he [is] a buckler to all them that trust in him.

KJV

For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock, save our God?

KJV

God [is] my strength [and] power: and he maketh my way perfect.

KJV

He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet:] and setteth me upon my high places.

KJV

He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

KJV

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

KJV

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

KJV

I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

KJV

And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

KJV

For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

KJV

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

KJV

They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

KJV

Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, [and] did spread them abroad.

KJV

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.

KJV

Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

KJV

Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

KJV

The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

KJV

It [is] God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,

KJV

And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

KJV

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

KJV

[He is] the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
