Young's Literal Translation
And 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 .
And David speaketh
to Jehovah
the words
of
this
song
in
the day Jehovah
hath
delivered him out
of
the hand of all his enemies ,
and out
of
the hand of Saul ,
He said
: “The
LORD
is my rock, my fortress
, and my
deliverer .
and
he saith
: `Jehovah
`
is '
my rock, And
my bulwark
, and a
deliverer to
me,
My 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 .
My God `
is '
my rock --
I take refuge in
Him;
My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high
tower
, and my refuge!
My
Saviour
, from violence Thou
savest
me!
I
will
call
upon
the LORD,
who
is
worthy
to
be
praised ;
so
shall
I be
saved
from my
enemies.
The Praised One,
I call
Jehovah:
And
from mine
enemies I
am
saved
.
For
the waves
of death engulfed
me ;
the torrents
of chaos
overwhelmed
me .
When
the breakers
of death compassed
me ,
The streams
of the
worthless
terrify
me ,
The cords of Sheol entangled
me ;
the snares of death confronted
me
.
The cords of Sheol have
surrounded
me ,
Before
me
have
been
the snares of death.
In 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 mine
adversity
I call
Jehovah,
And
unto
my God I
call,
And He
heareth
from His temple my voice, And my cry `is'
in
His ears ,
Then
the
earth
shook
and quaked;
the foundations of the heavens trembled;
they
were
shaken because
He burned
with
anger.
And shake
and
tremble
doth
the earth,
Foundations of the heavens are
troubled,
And
are
shaken ,
for
He hath
wrath!
Smoke rose
from
His nostrils ,
and consuming
fire came
from His mouth ;
glowing
coals
blazed
forth
.
Gone
up
hath
smoke by
His nostrils .
And fire from His mouth devoureth,
Brands
have
been
kindled
by
it
.
He parted
the
heavens
and came
down with
dark
clouds
beneath
His feet.
And
He inclineth
heaven,
and cometh
down ,
And
thick
darkness
`is'
under
His feet.
He mounted
a cherub and flew;
He
soared
on the wings of the wind.
And
He rideth
on
a cherub ,
and doth
fly,
And
is
seen
on the wings of the wind.
He made
darkness a
canopy
around
Him, a
gathering
of water
and
thick clouds.
And
He setteth
darkness Round
about
Him --
tabernacles
, Darkness
of waters
--
thick clouds of
the
skies
.
From the brightness of
His
presence
coals
of fire blazed
forth.
From the brightness before
Him
Were
brands
of fire kindled!
The
LORD
thundered
from heaven;
the voice
of
the Most High resounded
.
Thunder
from the heavens
doth
Jehovah,
And
the Most High giveth
forth
His
voice
.
He shot
His
arrows and scattered
the
foes
; He
hurled
lightning and routed
them .
And
He sendeth
forth
arrows ,
And scattereth
them
; Lightning ,
and troubleth
them ;
The 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
.
And
seen
are
the streams
of the sea, Revealed
are
foundations of the world ,
By
the rebuke of Jehovah
, From
the breath
of the spirit
of His anger
.
He reached
down
from on
high
and
took
hold
of
me ;
He drew
me out of deep
waters.
He sendeth
from above
--
He
taketh
me ,
He draweth
me out of many
waters.
He rescued
me from my powerful
enemy, from foes
too
mighty
for
me.
He delivereth
me from my strong
enemy, From those
hating
me ,
For
they
were
stronger
than
I
.
They confronted
me in my
day of calamity, but
the
LORD
was
my support .
They are
before
me in a
day of my
calamity, And
Jehovah
is
my support ,
He brought
me out into
the
open;
He rescued
me because
He delighted in me.
And
He bringeth
me out to
a
large
place,
He draweth
me out
for
He delighted in me.
The
LORD
has
rewarded
me according to my righteousness ;
He
has
repaid
me
according to the cleanness of my hands.
Jehovah
recompenseth
me ,
According to my righteousness ,
According to the cleanness of my hands ,
He
doth
return
to
me
.
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 done
wickedly against
my God.
For all His ordinances
are before me ;
I
have
not
disregarded
His statutes.
For all His judgments
`
are '
before me ,
As
to
His statutes ,
I
turn
not
from
them
.
And I have
been
blameless
before Him and kept
myself from iniquity.
And I am
perfect
before Him ,
And I
keep
myself from mine
iniquity.
So
the
LORD
has
repaid
me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in
His sight
.
And
Jehovah
returneth
to
me ,
According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before
His eyes
.
To
the faithful
You
show
Yourself
faithful
, to
the blameless
You
show
Yourself
blameless;
With
the kind
Thou
shewest
Thyself
kind
, With
the perfect
man
Thou
shewest
Thyself
perfect,
to
the pure You
show
Yourself
pure, but
to
the crooked
You
show
Yourself
shrewd
.
With
the pure Thou
shewest
Thyself
pure, And
with
the perverse
Thou
shewest
Thyself
a
wrestler
.
You
save
an
afflicted
people, but
Your
eyes are
on the haughty
to bring
them
down
.
And
the
poor
people Thou
dost
save
, And
Thine
eyes on the high
causest
to fall
.
For You
, O LORD
, are
my
lamp;
the
LORD
lights
up
my darkness.
For Thou
`art'
my
lamp
, O Jehovah
, And
Jehovah
doth
lighten
my darkness.
For in
You
I can
charge
an
army;
with
my God I can
scale
a wall.
For by
Thee
I run
--
a
troop,
By
my God I leap
a wall.
As
for
God ,
His way is
perfect;
the word
of the
LORD
is
flawless.
He
is a shield to all who
take
refuge
in Him.
God !
Perfect
`is'
His way ,
The saying
of Jehovah
is tried,
A shield He
`is'
to all those
trusting
in Him.
For who is God besides
the
LORD
? And who is
the
Rock except
our God?
For who is God save
Jehovah
? And who a
Rock save
our God?
God is
my strong
fortress
and He makes
my way clear.
God --
my bulwark,
`my'
strength,
And He maketh
perfect
my way ;
He
makes
my feet like those
of
a
deer
and stations
me upon
the
heights.
Making
my feet like hinds,
And on
my
high
places
causeth
me to
stand,
He
trains
my hands for battle ;
my
arms
can
bend
a bow of bronze.
Teaching
my hands for battle ,
And
brought
down
was
a bow of brass
by
mine
arms,
You
have
given
me Your
shield of salvation, and Your
gentleness
exalts
me.
And
Thou
givest
to
me the
shield of Thy
salvation, And Thy
lowliness
maketh
me great
.
You
broaden
the
path
beneath
me
so
that
my ankles do
not give
way
.
Thou
enlargest
my step
under
me,
And
mine
ankles have
not slidden
.
I pursued
my
enemies and destroyed
them ;
I did
not
turn back
until
they were
consumed.
I pursue
mine
enemies and destroy
them ,
And
I turn not
till
they are
consumed.
I devoured
and crushed
them so
they could
not
rise ;
they
have
fallen
under my feet.
And
I consume
them,
and smite
them ,
And
they rise not,
and
fall
under my feet.
You
have
armed
me with strength for battle ;
You
have
subdued
my foes
beneath
me.
And
Thou
girdest
me `
with '
strength for battle ,
Thou
causest
my withstanders
to
bow
under
me.
You
have
made
my
enemies retreat
before
me;
I
put
an
end
to those who
hated
me.
And
mine
enemies --
Thou
givest
to me
the
neck,
Those hating
me --
and
I
cut
them
off
.
They looked
, but
there was
no one
to
save
them—
to
the
LORD
, but
He did
not answer
.
They look
, and
there is
no saviour;
Unto
Jehovah
, and
He hath
not answered
them
.
I ground
them as the
dust of the earth ;
I
crushed
and
trampled
them
like
mud
in
the streets .
And
I beat
them as dust of the earth ,
As
mire
of
the streets I
beat
them
small
--
I
spread
them
out!
You
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.
And
--
Thou
dost
deliver
me From the strivings
of my people ,
Thou
placest
me for
a
head of nations; A people I have
not known do
serve me.
Foreigners
cower
before
me;
when
they
hear
me, they obey
me.
Sons
of
a
stranger
feign
obedience
to
me, At
the
hearing
of
the
ear
they hearken
to
me.
Foreigners
lose
heart
and come
trembling
from
their strongholds
.
Sons
of
a
stranger
fade
away,
And gird
themselves
by
their close
places
.
The
LORD
lives
, and blessed be
my Rock !
And may
God ,
the Rock of my salvation ,
be
exalted—
Jehovah
liveth
, and blessed `is'
my Rock ,
And exalted
is
my
God --
The Rock of my salvation .
the
God who avenges
me and brings
down nations
beneath
me,
God --
who is
giving
vengeance
to
me ,
And bringing
down peoples
under
me,
who
frees
me from my
enemies .
You
exalt
me
above my foes;
You
rescue
me from violent
men
.
And
bringing
me forth
from mine
enemies ,
Yea,
above my withstanders
Thou
raisest
me up.
From a
man
of
violence
Thou
deliverest
me
.
Therefore I will
praise
You
, O LORD
, among the
nations ;
I
will
sing
praises
to Your
name.
Therefore I confess
Thee
, O Jehovah
, among nations .
And
to Thy
name I
sing
praise
.
Great
salvation
He
brings
to
His king .
He
shows
loving devotion
to His anointed, to David and his descendants
forever.”
Magnifying
the
salvations
of
His king ,
And
doing
loving -kindness
to His anointed, To David ,
and to
his seed
--
unto
the
age!'
