1And David spake unto Yahuah (LORD) the words of this song in the day that Yahuah (LORD) had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2And he said, Yahuah (LORD) is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3The Elohim (God) of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; you savest me from violence.
4I will call on Yahuah (LORD), who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7In my distress I called upon Yahuah (LORD), and cried to my Elohim (God): and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14Yahuah (LORD) thundered from heaven, and the El Elyon (most High) uttered his voice.
15And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of Yahuah (LORD), at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but Yahuah (LORD) was my stay.
20He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21Yahuah (LORD) rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22For I have kept the ways of Yahuah (LORD), and have not wickedly departed from my Elohim (God).
23For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25Therefore Yahuah (LORD) has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26With the merciful you will shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man you will shew thyself upright.
27With the pure you will shew thyself pure; and with the froward you will shew thyself unsavoury.
28And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29For you are my lamp, O Yahuah (LORD): and Yahuah (LORD) will lighten my darkness.
30For by you I have run through a troop: by my Elohim (God) have I leaped over a wall.
31As for Elohim (God), his way is perfect; the word of Yahuah (LORD) is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32For who is Elohim (God), save Yahuah (LORD)? and who is a rock, save our Elohim (God)?
33Elohim (God) is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me upon my high places.
35He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
37You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto Yahuah (LORD), but he answered them not.
43Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47Yahuah (LORD) lives; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the Elohim (God) of the rock of my salvation.
48It is Elohim (God) that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me,
49And that brings me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
50Therefore I will give thanks unto you, O Yahuah (LORD), among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto your name.
51He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
