17 He rescued me from my powerful
enemies
and from all those who hate
me-
they were too strong for me.
18 When I was in trouble, they
attacked me,
but the LORD protected me
19 He helped me out of danger;
he saved me because he was
pleaswed with me.
20 The LORD rewards me because I do
what is right;
he blesses me because I am
innocent.
21 I have obeyed the law of the LORD;
I have not turned away from
my God.
22 I have observed all his laws;
I have not disobeyed his
commands.
23 He knows that I am faultless,
that I have kept myself from
doing wrong.
24 And so he rewards me because I do
what is right,
because he knows that I am
innocent.
25 O LORD, you are faithful to those
who are faithful to you;
completely good to those who
are perfect.
26 You are pure to those who are
pure,
but hostile to those who are
wicked.
27 You save those who are humble,
but you humble those who are
proud.
28 O LORD, you give me light;
you dispel my darkness.
29 You give me strength to attack my
enemies
and power to overcome their
defenses.
30 This God - how perfect are his
deeds!
How dependable his words!
He is like a shield
for all who seek his protection.
31 The LORD alone is God;
God alone is our defence.
32 He is the God who makes me
strong,
who makes my pathway safe.
33 He makes me sure-footed as a deer;
he keeps me safe on the
mountains.
34 He trains me for battle,
so that I can use the strongest
bow.
35 O LORD, you protct me and save
me;
your care has made me great'
and your power has kept me
safe.
36 You have kept me from being
captured,
and I have never fallen.
37 I pursue my enemies and catch
them;
I do not stop until I destroy
them.
38 I strike them down, and they
cannot rise;
they lie defeated before me.
39 You give me strength for the battle
and victory over my enemies.
40You give my enemies run from
me;
I destroy those who hate me.
41 They cry for help, but no one saves
them;
they call to the LORD, but he
does not answer.
42 I crush them, so that they become
like dust
which the wind blows away.
I trample on them like mud in the
streets.
43 You saved me from a rebellious
people
and made me ruler over the
nations;
people I did not know have now
become my subjects.
44 Foreigners bow before me;
when they hear me, they obey.
45 They lose their courage
and come trembling from their
fortresses .
46 The LORD lives! Praise my
defender!
Proclaim the greatness of the
God who saves me.
47 He gives me victory over my
enemies;
he subdues the natios under
me
48 and saves me from my foes.
O LORD, you give me victory over
my enemies
and protect me from violent
people.
49 And so I praise ypu among the
nations;
I sing praises to you.

king:
