David’s Psalm of Deliverance

11And DavidH1732 spokeH1696 2the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 songH7892 to the LordH3068 in the dayH3117 that the LordH3068 deliveredH5337 him from the 3handH3709 of allH3605 his enemiesH340 and from the 4handH3709 of SaulH7586. 2He saidH559, “5The LordH3068 is my 6rockH5553 and my fortressH4686 and my delivererH6403;378My GodH430, my rockH6697, in whom I takeH2620 refugeH2620, My 9shieldH4043 and 10the hornH7161 of my salvationH3468, my strongholdH4869 and 11my refugeH4498; My saviorH3467, You saveH3467 me from violenceH2555.4I callH7121 upon the LordH3068, 12who is worthy to be praisedH1984, And I am savedH3467 from my enemiesH340.5For 13the wavesH4867 of deathH4194 encompassedH661 me; 14The torrentsH5158 of 15destructionH1100 16overwhelmedH1204 me;617The cordsH2256 of 18SheolH7585 surroundedH5437 me; The snaresH4170 of deathH4194 confrontedH6923 me.719In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon the LordH3068, Yes, I 20criedH7121 to my GodH430; And from His templeH1964 He heardH8085 my voiceH6963, And my cryH7775 for helpH7775 came into His earsH241.8Then 21the earthH776 shookH1607 and quakedH7493, 22The foundationsH4144 of heavenH8064 were tremblingH7264 And were shakenH1607, becauseH3588 He was angryH2734.9SmokeH6227 wentH5927 up 23out of His nostrilsH639, 24FireH784 from His mouthH6310 devouredH398; 25CoalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it.10He bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 also, and cameH3381 downH3381 With 26thickH6205 darknessH6205 underH8478 His feetH7272.1127And He rodeH7392 on a cherubH3742 and flewH5774; And He 28appearedH7200 on 29the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.1230And He madeH7896 darknessH2822 31canopiesH5521 aroundH5439 Him, A massH2841 of watersH4325, thickH5645 cloudsH5645 of the skyH7834.13From the brightnessH5051 beforeH5048 Him 32CoalsH1513 of fireH784 were kindledH1197.1433The LordH3068 thunderedH7481 from heavenH8064, And the MostH5945 HighH5945 utteredH5414 His voiceH6963.1534And He sentH7971 out arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327 them, LightningH1300, and 35routedH2000 them.16Then the channelsH650 of the seaH3220 appearedH7200, The foundationsH4144 of the worldH8398 were 36laidH1540 bareH1540 By the rebukeH1606 of the LordH3068, 37At the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of His nostrilsH639.1738He sentH7971 from on highH4791, He tookH3947 me; 39He drewH4871 me out of manyH7227 watersH4325.18He deliveredH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH340, From those who hatedH8130 me, for they were tooH4480 strongH553 for me.19They confrontedH6923 me in the dayH3117 of my calamityH343, 40But the LordH3068 was my supportH4937.2041He also broughtH3318 me forthH3318 into a broadH4800 placeH4800; He rescuedH2502 me, 42becauseH3588 He delightedH2654 in me.2143The LordH3068 has rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6666; 44According to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 He has recompensedH7725 me.2245For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LordH3068, And have not actedH7561 wickedlyH7561 againstH4480 my GodH430.2346For allH3605 His ordinancesH4941 were beforeH5048 me, And as for His statutesH2708, I did not departH5493 from 47them.2448I was also 49blamelessH8549 toward Him, And I keptH8104 myself from my iniquityH5771.2550Therefore the LordH3068 has recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6666, According to my cleannessH1252 beforeH5048 His eyesH5869.2651With the 52kindH2623 You showH2616 Yourself 53kindH2616, With the 54blamelessH8549 You showH8552 Yourself 55blamelessH8552;2756With the pureH1305 You showH1305 Yourself pureH1305, 57And with the pervertedH6141 You showH6617 Yourself 58astuteH6617.2859And You saveH3467 an afflictedH6041 peopleH5971; 60But Your eyesH5869 are on the haughtyH7311 whom You abaseH8213.2961For You are my lampH5216, O LordH3068; And the LordH3068 illuminesH5050 my darknessH2822.3062For by You I can 63runH7323 upon a troopH1416; By my GodH430 I can leapH1801 over a wallH7791.3164As for GodH410, His wayH1870 is 65blamelessH8549; 66The wordH565 of the LordH3068 is testedH6884; 67He is a shieldH4043 to allH3605 who takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him.3268For whoH4310 is GodH410, besidesH1107 the LordH3068? 69And whoH4310 is a rockH6697, besidesH1107 our GodH430?3370GodH410 is my strongH2428 fortressH4581; And He 71setsH5425 the 72blamelessH8549 in 73His wayH1870.3474He makesH7737 75my feetH7272 like hinds’H355 feet, 76And setsH5975 me on my highH1116 placesH1116.3577He trainsH3925 my handsH3027 for battleH4421, 78So that my armsH2220 can bendH5181 a bowH7198 of bronzeH5154.36You have also givenH5414 me 79the shieldH4043 of Your salvationH3468, And Your 80helpH6038 makesH7235 me greatH7235.3781You enlargeH7337 my stepsH6806 underH8478 me, And my 82feetH7166 have not slippedH4571.38I pursuedH7291 my enemiesH340 and 83destroyedH8045 them, And I did not turnH7725 backH7725 untilH5704 they were consumedH3615.39And I have devouredH3615 them and shatteredH4272 them, so that they did not riseH6965; And 84they fellH5307 underH8478 my feetH7272.40For You have girdedH247 me with strengthH2428 for battleH4421; You have 85subduedH3766 underH8478 me 86those who roseH6965 up against me.41You have also 87madeH5414 my enemiesH340 turnH5414 their backsH6203 to me, And I 88destroyedH6789 those who hatedH8130 me.4289They lookedH8159, but thereH369 was noneH369 to saveH3467; 90Even to the LordH3068, but He did not answerH6030 them.4391Then I pulverizedH7833 them as the dustH6083 of the earthH776; 92I crushedH1854 and stampedH7554 them as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.4493You have also deliveredH6403 me from the contentionsH7379 of my peopleH5971; 94You have keptH8104 me as headH7218 of the nationsH1471; 95A peopleH5971 whom I have not knownH3045 serveH5647 me.4596ForeignersH1121H5236 pretendH3584 obedienceH3584 to me; As soon as they hearH241H8085, they obeyH8085 me.46ForeignersH1121H5236 97loseH5034 heartH5034, 98And 99comeH2296 tremblingH2296 out of their 100fortressesH4526.47The LordH3068 livesH2416, and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; And exaltedH7311 be 101102GodH430, the rockH6697 of my salvationH3468,48103The GodH410 who executesH5414 vengeanceH5360 for me, 104And bringsH3381 downH3381 peoplesH5971 underH8478 me,49Who also bringsH3381 me out from my enemiesH340; You even liftH7311 me aboveH4480 105those who riseH6965 up against me; 106You rescueH5337 me from the violentH2555 manH376.50107ThereforeH5921H3651 I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 to You, O LordH3068, among the nationsH1471, And I will singH2167 praisesH2167 to Your nameH8034.51108He is a towerH4023 of 109deliveranceH3444 to His kingH4428, And 110showsH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 to His anointedH4899, 111To DavidH1732 and his 112descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769.”
