David’s Psalm of Deliverance

11Now DavidH1732 spokeH1696 2the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 songH7892 to the LordH3068 on the dayH3117 that the LordH3068 had savedH5337 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 floodsH5158 of 15destructionH1100 terrifiedH1204 me;616The ropesH2256 of 17SheolH7585 surroundedH5437 me; The snaresH4170 of deathH4194 confrontedH6923 me.718In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon the LordH3068, Yes, I calledH7121 outH7121 to my GodH430; And from His templeH1964 He heardH8085 my voiceH6963, And my cryH7775 forH7775 helpH7775 came into His earsH241.8Then 19the earthH776 shookH1607 and quakedH7493, 20The foundationsH4144 of heavenH8064 were tremblingH7264 And were shakenH1607, becauseH3588 He wasH2734 angryH2734.9SmokeH6227 wentH5927 upH5927 21out of His nostrilsH639, 22And fireH784 from His mouthH6310 was devouringH398; 23CoalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it.10He also bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 downH5186 lowH5186, and cameH3381 downH3381 With 24thickH6205 darknessH6205 underH8478 His feetH7272.1125He rodeH7392 on a cherubH3742 and flewH5774; He 26appearedH7200 on 27the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.1228He madeH7896 darknessH2822 canopiesH5521 aroundH5439 Him, A massH2841 of watersH4325, thickH5645 cloudsH5645 of the skyH7834.13From the brightnessH5051 beforeH5048 Him 29CoalsH1513 of fireH784 were kindledH1197.1430The LordH3068 thunderedH7481 from heavenH8064, And the MostH5945 HighH5945 utteredH5414 His voiceH6963.1531And He shotH7971 arrowsH2671 and scatteredH6327 them, LightningH1300, and 32routedH2000 them.16Then the channelsH650 of the seaH3220 appearedH7200, The foundationsH4144 of the worldH8398 were exposedH1540 By the rebukeH1606 of the LordH3068, 33From the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of His nostrilsH639.1734He sentH7971 from on highH4791, He tookH3947 me; 35He drewH4871 me outH4871 of manyH7227 watersH4325.18He rescuedH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH340, From those who hatedH8130 me, for they wereH553 tooH4480 strongH553 for me.19They confrontedH6923 me on the dayH3117 of my disasterH343, 36But the LordH3068 was my supportH4937.2037He also broughtH3318 me outH3318 into an openH4800 placeH4800; He rescuedH2502 me, 38becauseH3588 He delightedH2654 in me.2139The LordH3068 has treatedH1580 me in accordance with my righteousnessH6666; 40In accordance with the cleanlinessH1252 of my handsH3027 He has repaidH7725 me.2241For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LordH3068, And have not actedH7561 wickedlyH7561 againstH4480 my GodH430.2342For allH3605 His ordinancesH4941 were beforeH5048 me, And as for His statutesH2708, I did not deviateH5493 from 43them.2444I was also 45blamelessH8549 toward Him, And I have keptH8104 myself from my wrongdoingH5771.2546So the LordH3068 has repaidH7725 me in accordance with my righteousnessH6666, In accordance with my cleanlinessH1252 beforeH5048 His eyesH5869.2647With the one who is faithfulH2623 You showH2616 Yourself faithfulH2616, With the 48blamelessH8549 one You proveH8552 Yourself 49blamelessH8552;2750With the one who is pureH1305 You showH1305 Yourself pureH1305, 51But with the pervertedH6141 You 52showH6617 Yourself astuteH6617.2853And You saveH3467 an afflictedH6041 peopleH5971; 54But Your eyesH5869 are on the haughtyH7311 whom You humiliateH8213.2955For You are my lampH5216, LordH3068; And the LordH3068 illuminatesH5050 my darknessH2822.3056For by You I can runH7323 at a 57troopH1416 ofH1416 warriorsH1416; By my GodH430 I can leapH1801 over a wallH7791.3158As for GodH410, His wayH1870 is 59blamelessH8549; 60The wordH565 of the LordH3068 is refinedH6884; 61He is a shieldH4043 to allH3605 who takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him.3262For whoH4310 is GodH410, exceptH1107 the LordH3068? 63And whoH4310 is a rockH6697, exceptH1107 our GodH430?3364GodH410 is my strongH2428 fortressH4581; And He 65setsH5425 the 66blamelessH8549 on 67His wayH1870.3468He makesH7737 69my feetH7272 like deer’sH355 feet, 70And setsH5975 me on my highH1116 placesH1116.3571He trainsH3925 my handsH3027 for battleH4421, 72So that my armsH2220 can bendH5181 a bowH7198 of bronzeH5154.36You have also givenH5414 me 73the shieldH4043 of Your salvationH3468, And Your 74helpH6038 makesH7235 me greatH7235.3775You enlargeH7337 my stepsH6806 underH8478 me, And my 76feetH7166 have not slippedH4571.38I pursuedH7291 my enemiesH340 and 77eliminatedH8045 them, And I did not turnH7725 backH7725 untilH5704 they were finishedH3615 offH3615.39And I have devouredH3615 them and smashedH4272 them, so that they would not riseH6965; And 78they fellH5307 underH8478 my feetH7272.40For You have encircledH247 me withH247 strengthH2428 for battleH4421; You have forced 79those who roseH6965 upH6965 against me to bowH3766 downH3766 underH8478 me.41You have also 80madeH5414 my enemiesH340 turnH5414 their backsH6203 to me, And I 81destroyedH6789 those who hatedH8130 me.4282They lookedH8159, but thereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 them; 83Even to the LordH3068, but He did not answerH6030 them.4384Then I pulverizedH7833 them as the dustH6083 of the earthH776; 85I crushedH1854 and trampledH7554 them like the mudH2916 of the streetsH2351.4486You have also savedH6403 me from the contentionsH7379 of my peopleH5971; 87You have keptH8104 me as headH7218 of the nationsH1471; 88A peopleH5971 I have not knownH3045 serveH5647 me.4589ForeignersH1121H5236 pretendH3584 toH3584 obeyH3584 me; As soon as they hearH241H8085, they obeyH8085 me.46ForeignersH1121H5236 loseH5034 heartH5034, 90And 91comeH2727 tremblingH2727 out of their fortressesH4526.47The LordH3068 livesH2416, and blessedH1288 be my RockH6697; And exaltedH7311 be 9293my GodH430, the rockH6697 of my salvationH3468,4894The GodH410 who executesH5414 vengeanceH5360 for me, 95And bringsH3381 downH3381 peoplesH5971 underH8478 me,49Who also bringsH3318 me outH3318 from my enemiesH340; You also raiseH7311 me aboveH4480 96those who riseH6965 upH6965 against me; 97You rescueH5337 me from the violentH2555 personH376.5098ThereforeH5921H3651 I will 99giveH3034 thanksH3034 to You, LordH3068, among the nationsH1471, And I will singH2167 praisesH2167 to Your nameH8034.51100He is a towerH4023 of 101salvationH3444 to His kingH4428, And 102showsH6213 favorH2617 to His anointedH4899, 103To DavidH1732 and his 104descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769.”
