ASV
And David spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
22:2
ASV
and he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
22:3
ASV
God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My saviour, thou savest me from violence.
22:4
ASV
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
22:5

For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:
22:6
ASV
The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.
22:7
ASV
In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry came into his ears.
22:8
ASV
Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.
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 thick darkness was under his feet.
22:11
ASV
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
22:17

He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters;
22:18
ASV
He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
22:19
ASV
They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
22:27
ASV
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
22:28
ASV
And the afflicted people thou wilt save; But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
22:32

22:41

22:49
ASV
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
