Psalm 17
2 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:
4 Praising I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
5 The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
6 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.
9 There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
11 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
13 At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
14 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.
15 And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
17 He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.
19 They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.
20 And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
22 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.
23 For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.
24 And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
26 With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
27 And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
28 For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
29 For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.
30 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.
32 For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?
33 God who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
34 Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.
35 Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
39 I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
41 And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
42 They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
45 A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
47 The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted :
48 O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.
