Praise for God’s Deliverance(A)

22 Then David (B)spoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day when the Lord had (C)delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. And he (D)said:

(E)“The Lord is my rock and my (F)fortress and my deliverer;
The God of my strength, (G)in whom I will trust;
My (H)shield and the (I)horn[a] of my salvation,
My (J)stronghold and my (K)refuge;
My Savior, You save me from violence.
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.

And who is a rock, except our God?
33 [a]God is my (B)strength and power,
And He (C)makes [b]my way (D)perfect.
34 He makes [c]my feet (E)like the feet of deer,
And (F)sets me on my high places.
35 He teaches my hands [d]to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your gentleness has made me great.
37 You (G)enlarged my path under me;
So my feet did not slip.
