KJV ¹ I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

VULC ¹ In finem. Psalmus David.

KJV ² The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

VULC ² [Cæli enarrant gloriam Dei,
et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum.

KJV ³ I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

VULC ³ Dies diei eructat verbum,
et nox nocti indicat scientiam.

KJV ⁴ The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

VULC ⁴ Non sunt loquelæ, neque sermones,
quorum non audiantur voces eorum.

KJV ⁵ The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

VULC ⁵ In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum,
et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.

KJV ⁶ In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

VULC ⁶ In sole posuit tabernaculum suum ;
et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo.
Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam ;

KJV ⁷ Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

VULC ⁷ a summo cælo egressio ejus.
Et occursus ejus usque ad summum ejus ;
nec est qui se abscondat a calore ejus.

KJV ⁸ There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

VULC ⁸ Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas ;
testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam præstans parvulis.

KJV ⁹ He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

VULC ⁹ Justitiæ Domini rectæ, lætificantes corda ;
præceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos.

KJV ¹⁰ And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

VULC ¹⁰ Timor Domini sanctus, permanens in sæculum sæculi ;
judicia Domini vera, justificata in semetipsa,

KJV ¹¹ He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

VULC ¹¹ desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum,
et dulciora super mel et favum.

KJV ¹² At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

VULC ¹² Etenim servus tuus custodit ea ;
in custodiendis illis retributio multa.

KJV ¹³ The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

VULC ¹³ Delicta quis intelligit ?
ab occultis meis munda me ;

KJV ¹⁴ Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

VULC ¹⁴ et ab alienis parce servo tuo.
Si mei non fuerint dominati, tunc immaculatus ero,
et emundabor a delicto maximo.

KJV ¹⁵ Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

VULC ¹⁵ Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei,
et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper.
Domine, adjutor meus, et redemptor meus.]

KJV ¹⁶ He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

KJV ¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

KJV ¹⁸ They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

KJV ¹⁹ He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

KJV ²⁰ The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

KJV ²¹ For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

KJV ²² For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

KJV ²³ I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

KJV ²⁴ Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

KJV ²⁵ With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

KJV ²⁶ With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

KJV ²⁷ For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

KJV ²⁸ For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

KJV ²⁹ For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

KJV ³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

KJV ³¹ For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

KJV ³² It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

KJV ³³ He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

KJV ³⁴ He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

KJV ³⁵ Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

KJV ³⁶ Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

KJV ³⁷ I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

KJV ³⁸ I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

KJV ³⁹ For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

KJV ⁴⁰ Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

KJV ⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

KJV ⁴² Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

KJV ⁴³ Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

KJV ⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

KJV ⁴⁵ The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

KJV ⁴⁶ The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

KJV ⁴⁷ It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

KJV ⁴⁸ He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

KJV ⁴⁹ Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

KJV ⁵⁰ Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
