11
He made darkness His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters And thick clouds of the skies.
12
From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
13
The Lord thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
14
He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe, Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15
Then the channels of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At Your rebuke, O Lord, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16
He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17
He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, For they were too strong for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my support.
19
He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
21
For I have kept the ways of the Lord, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22
For all His judgments were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23
I was also blameless before Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24
Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25
With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26
With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
27
For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.
28
For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29
For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall.
30
As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
31
For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
