1And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:And David spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:2He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.and he said: “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;and he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;3My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.The 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; thou savest me from violence.God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My saviour, thou savest me from violence.4I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.5For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:6The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.7In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.In my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry came into his ears.8Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.9Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.10He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.11He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.12He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.And he made darkness pavilions round about him, Gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.13From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.At the brightness before him Coals of fire were kindled.14The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.Yahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.Jehovah thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice.15He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.He sent out arrows and scattered them, lightning and confused them.And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; Lightning, and discomfited them.16The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by Yahweh’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.17He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters;18He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.19They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.20He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.21The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.22For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.For I have kept Yahweh’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.23For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.For all his ordinances were before me; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.24And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.I was also perfect toward him; And I kept myself from mine iniquity.25So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.26To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;27to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.28You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.And the afflicted people thou wilt save; But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.29For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness.For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah; And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.30For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.For by thee I run upon a troop; By my God do I leap over a wall.31As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.32For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?For who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?33God is my strong fortress, and He makes my way clear.God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.God is my strong fortress; And he guideth the perfect in his way.34He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.He maketh his feet like hinds’ feet, And setteth me upon my high places.35He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.He teacheth my hands to war, So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.36You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great.37You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; And my feet have not slipped.38I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again till they were consumed.39I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise: Yea, they are fallen under my feet.40You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.41You have made my enemies retreat before me; I destroyed those who hated me.You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.42They looked, but there was no one to save them—to the LORD, but He did not answer.They looked, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.43I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.Then 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.Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.44You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.45Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.46Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.47The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,48the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And that bringeth down peoples under me,49who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.50Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.51Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
