Bible. Psalms
17:6. The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death
prevented me.
17:7. In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God:
And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came
into his ears.
17:8. The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains
were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
17:9. There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his
face: coals were kindled by it.
17:10. He bowed the heavens, and came down, and darkness was under his
feet.
17:11. And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the
wings of the winds.
17:12. And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him:
dark waters in the clouds of the air.
17:13. At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and
coals of fire.
17:14. And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the Highest gave his
voice: hail and coals of fire.
17:15. And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he
multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
17:16. Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the
world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit
of thy wrath.
17:17. He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many
waters.
17:18. He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that
hated me: for they were too strong for me.
17:19. They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord
became my rotector.
17:20. And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because
he was well pleased with me.
17:21. And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will
repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
17:22. Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done
wickedly against my God.
17:23. For all his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have
not put away from me.
17:24. And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my
iniquity.
17:25. And the Lord will reward me according to my justice: and
according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
17:26. With the holy thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou
wilt be innocent:
17:27. And withe the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse
thou wilt be perverted.
17:28. For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the
eyes of the proud.
17:29. For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God, enlighten my
darkness.
17:30. For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my
God I shall go over a wall.
17:31. As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are
fire-tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.
17:32. For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?
17:33. God, who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
17:34. Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me
upon high places.
17:35. Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a
brazen bow.
