For the music director; a psalm of David. O Lord, the king rejoices in the strength you give; he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide.

For you deliver us from our enemies; you humiliate those who hate us.

The praise you receive as far away as the ends of the earth is worthy of your reputation, O God. You execute justice!

Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags.

The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver; in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.

For they did not conquer the land by their swords, and they did not prevail by their strength, but rather by your power, strength and good favor, for you were partial to them.

The Lord delivers; you show favor to your people. (Selah)

For I do not trust in my bow, and I do not prevail by my sword.

Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?

Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?

The Lord gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer.”

You give me your protective shield; your right hand supports me; your willingness to help enables me to prevail.

The Lord strengthens his people; he protects and delivers his chosen king.

You are my hiding place; you protect me from distress. You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance. (Selah)

Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe.

Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

By God’s power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.

The Lord speaks; many, many women spread the good news.

They are sustained as they travel along; each one appears before God in Zion.

Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe.
