King David's psalm of thanksgiving for his deliverance from all his
enemies.
22:1. And David spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day
that the Lord delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out
of the hand of Saul,
22:2. And he said: The Lord is my rock, and my strength, and my saviour.
22:3. God is my strong one, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn
of my salvation: he lifteth me up, and is my refuge: my saviour, thou
wilt deliver me from iniquity.
22:4. I will call on the Lord who is worthy to be praised: and I shall
