David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul, Exo 15:1Jdg 5:1Isa 12:1-62Ti 4:18Psa 103:1-6Psa 116:1-19Psa 34:19Rev 7:9-17 and he said: Psa 18:2-50Psa 31:3Psa 71:3Deu 32:4Psa 144:2Psa 91:21Sa 2:2Mat 16:18

So shall I be saved from my enemies.
For the waves of death surrounded me. Jon 2:3Psa 69:14-151Th 5:3Isa 59:19Jer 46:7-8Psa 18:4Psa 93:3-4Rev 12:15-16
The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol 1 were around me. Psa 116:3Act 2:24Job 36:8Jon 2:2Pro 13:14Pro 14:27Pro 5:22Psa 140:5

He made darkness a shelter around himself, 2Sa 22:10Job 36:29Psa 18:11-12Psa 97:2Psa 27:5
gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

The foundations of the world were laid bare by the LORD’s rebuke,
at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
He sent from on high and he took me. Isa 43:2Psa 144:7Psa 18:16Psa 130:1Psa 32:6Psa 124:4-5Psa 59:1-2Psa 93:3-4
He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, 2Co 1:102Ti 4:17Psa 3:7Psa 56:92Sa 22:1
from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
They came on me in the day of my calamity, Psa 71:20-211Sa 19:11-171Sa 23:26-27Psa 118:10-13Psa 23:42Sa 15:10-13Isa 26:19Isa 50:10

He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
For I have kept the LORD’s ways, Pro 8:32Gen 18:19Psa 128:1Psa 119:1Psa 36:31Sa 12:32Co 1:12Heb 10:38-39
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his ordinances were before me. Psa 119:102Psa 119:30Jhn 15:14Deu 6:1-2Deu 6:6-9Deu 7:12Deu 8:11Luk 1:6
As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.
I was also perfect toward him. Gen 6:9Gen 17:1Job 1:1Eph 1:4Heb 12:12Co 5:11Jhn 1:47Pro 4:23
I kept myself from my iniquity.
Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, 2Sa 22:212Co 5:10Rom 2:7-8Isa 3:10Pro 5:21
According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. Mat 5:7Jas 2:13

For by you, I run against a troop. Psa 18:29Php 4:13Psa 118:10-12Rom 8:37
By my God, I leap over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect. Deu 32:4Pro 30:5Psa 18:30Mat 5:48Psa 12:62Sa 22:3Psa 119:140Dan 4:37
The LORD’s word is tested.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
For who is God, besides the LORD? 1Sa 2:2Deu 32:31Isa 44:6Isa 44:8Jer 10:6-72Sa 22:2-3Deu 32:39Isa 45:21

He makes my way perfect.
He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, Deu 32:13Isa 58:14Hab 3:192Sa 2:18Isa 33:16Deu 33:25
and sets me on my high places.
He teaches my hands to war, Psa 144:1Psa 18:33-34Ezk 39:3Ezk 39:9-10Psa 46:9
so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Eph 6:16Psa 115:14Psa 84:11Psa 18:35Gen 12:2Gen 15:1Gen 22:17
Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me. Pro 4:12Psa 17:51Sa 2:9Psa 121:3Psa 18:36Psa 4:1Psa 94:18
My feet have not slipped.
I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. Psa 21:8-92Sa 10:142Sa 5:18-252Sa 8:1-22Sa 8:13-14Rom 8:37
I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.
I have consumed them, Mal 4:3Mal 4:1Psa 110:1Psa 110:5-6Psa 118:10-12Psa 18:37
and struck them through,
so that they can’t arise.

that I might cut off those who hate me.
They looked, but there was no one to save; Isa 1:151Sa 28:6Mic 3:4Pro 1:28Ezk 20:3Job 27:9Luk 13:25-26Mat 7:22-23
even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. Mic 7:10Isa 10:62Ki 13:7Zec 10:5Dan 2:35Deu 32:26Isa 26:15Luk 21:24
I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. 2Sa 8:1-14Isa 55:52Sa 3:12Sa 19:142Sa 19:9Deu 28:132Sa 18:6-82Sa 20:1-2

A people whom I have not known will serve me.
The foreigners will submit themselves to me. Psa 81:15Psa 66:3Act 8:13Act 8:21-23Deu 33:29Isa 56:3Isa 56:6Psa 18:44-45

The foreigners will fade away, Mic 7:17Amo 9:3Isa 2:19Isa 2:21Isa 64:6Jas 1:11
and will come trembling out of their close places.
The LORD lives! Psa 89:262Sa 22:3Job 19:25Deu 32:39-40Luk 1:47
Blessed be my rock!

Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, Rom 15:9Isa 12:1-6Psa 145:1-2Psa 146:1-2Psa 18:49
and will sing praises to your name.
