YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 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 ,
And he said,
The
LORD
is my rock, and my fortress
, and my
deliverer ;
and he saith:
`Jehovah
`
is '
my rock, And my bulwark
, and a
deliverer to
me,
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.
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
on
the LORD,
who
is
worthy
to
be
praised :
so
shall
I be
saved
from mine enemies.
The Praised One,
I call
Jehovah:
And
from mine enemies I
am
saved
.
When the waves
of death compassed me, the floods
of ungodly
men
made
me afraid;
When the breakers
of death compassed me, The streams
of the
worthless
terrify
me ,
The sorrows
of hell
compassed
me about;
the snares of death prevented
me;
The cords
of Sheol
have
surrounded
me ,
Before
me
have
been
the snares of death .
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 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 trembled;
the foundations of heaven
moved
and shook
, because
he was
wroth.
And shake
and
tremble
doth
the earth,
Foundations of the
heavens
are
troubled,
And are
shaken
, for
He hath
wrath!
There
went
up a
smoke out
of
his nostrils ,
and fire out
of
his mouth devoured:
coals
were
kindled by it.
Gone
up hath
smoke by
His nostrils .
And fire from
His mouth devoureth,
Brands
have
been
kindled by it.
He bowed
the
heavens
also
, and came
down ;
and darkness was
under his feet.
And
He inclineth
heaven
, and cometh
down ,
And thick
darkness `is'
under His feet.
And he rode
upon
a cherub, and did
fly :
and he
was
seen upon
the wings of the wind.
And He rideth
on
a cherub, and doth
fly ,
And is
seen on
the wings of the wind.
And he made
darkness pavilions
round about him, dark
waters ,
and
thick clouds of the skies.
And He setteth
darkness Round about Him --
tabernacles
, Darkness
of
waters --
thick clouds of the skies.
Through
the brightness before him were coals
of fire kindled .
From
the brightness before Him Were brands
of fire kindled !
The
LORD
thundered
from heaven
, and the most High uttered
his voice.
Thunder
from the
heavens
doth
Jehovah
, And the Most High giveth
forth
His voice.
And he sent
out
arrows, and scattered
them; lightning, and discomfited
them .
And He sendeth
forth
arrows, And scattereth
them; Lightning, and troubleth
them ;
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
.
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 sent
from above ,
he took
me ;
he drew
me out of many waters ;
He sendeth
from above --
He taketh
me ,
He draweth
me out of many waters .
He delivered
me from my strong enemy, and
from them
that
hated
me :
for they were too
strong
for
me
.
He delivereth
me from my strong enemy, From those
hating
me ,
For they were stronger
than
I
.
They prevented
me in the
day of my calamity :
but
the
LORD
was
my stay.
They are
before
me in a
day of my calamity ,
And
Jehovah
is
my support,
He brought
me forth
also
into
a large place :
he delivered
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
rewarded
me according to my righteousness :
according to the cleanness of my hands hath
he recompensed
me.
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 judgments were
before me :
and
as for
his statutes, I did
not depart
from them.
For all His judgments `are'
before me ,
As to
His statutes, I turn
not from them.
I was
also
upright
before him, and have
kept
myself from mine iniquity.
And
I am
perfect
before Him, And I
keep
myself from mine iniquity.
Therefore
the
LORD
hath
recompensed
me according to my righteousness ;
according to my cleanness in
his eye
sight
.
And
Jehovah
returneth
to
me ,
According to my righteousness ,
According to my cleanness before
His eyes
.
With the merciful
thou wilt
show
thyself merciful
, and
with the upright
man thou wilt
show
thyself upright.
With the kind
Thou shewest
Thyself kind
, With the perfect
man Thou shewest
Thyself perfect,
With the pure thou wilt
show
thyself pure ;
and with the froward
thou wilt
show
thyself unsavory
.
With the pure Thou shewest
Thyself pure ,
And with the perverse
Thou shewest
Thyself a
wrestler
.
And the afflicted
people thou wilt
save :
but
thine eyes are
upon
the haughty,
that
thou
mayest
bring
them
down
.
And the poor
people Thou dost
save ,
And
Thine eyes on
the high
causest
to
fall
.
For thou art my lamp, O LORD:
and the
LORD
will
lighten my darkness.
For Thou `
art '
my lamp, O Jehovah,
And Jehovah
doth
lighten my darkness.
For by thee I have
run through
a troop :
by my God have
I leaped
over
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 tried :
he is a
buckler
to all them
that
trust
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 ,
save the
LORD
? and who is
a rock ,
save our God?
For who is God save Jehovah
? And who a Rock save our God?
God is
my strength and
power:
and he maketh my way perfect.
God --
my bulwark,
`my'
strength ,
And He maketh perfect
my way ;
He
maketh
my feet like hinds '
feet:
and setteth
me
upon
my high places .
Making
my feet like hinds ,
And on
my high places causeth
me
to
stand,
He
teacheth
my hands to
war;
so
that
a bow of steel
is
broken
by mine arms .
Teaching
my hands for
battle,
And
brought
down
was
a bow of brass
by mine arms ,
Thou hast
also
given
me the shield of thy salvation :
and thy gentleness
hath
made
me great.
And
Thou givest
to
me the shield of Thy salvation ,
And Thy lowliness
maketh
me great.
Thou hast
enlarged
my steps
under me ;
so
that
my
feet
did
not slip
.
Thou enlargest
my step
under me ,
And
mine
ankles
have
not slidden
.
I have
pursued
mine enemies ,
and destroyed
them ;
and turned
not
again
until
I had
consumed them
.
I pursue
mine enemies and destroy
them ,
And I turn
not
till
they
are
consumed.
And I have
consumed
them, and wounded
them, that
they could
not arise:
yea
, they
are
fallen
under my feet.
And I consume
them, and smite
them, And
they rise
not, and
fall
under my feet.
For
thou hast
girded
me with strength to
battle :
them
that
rose
up
against
me
hast
thou subdued
under me.
And
Thou girdest
me `
with '
strength for
battle ,
Thou causest
my
withstanders
to
bow
under me.
Thou hast
also
given
me the necks
of
mine
enemies
, that
I might
destroy
them that
hate
me
.
And
mine
enemies
--
Thou givest
to
me the neck
, Those
hating
me
--
and
I cut
them off
.
They looked
, but
there was
none
to
save
; even
unto the
LORD
, but
he answered them not
.
They look
, and
there is
no
saviour
; Unto Jehovah
, and
He hath
not
answered them.
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.
And
I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets
I
beat
them
small
--
I
spread them out!
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.
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.
Strangers
shall
submit
themselves
unto
me :
as
soon
as
they
hear
, they shall
be
obedient
unto
me.
Sons
of
a
stranger
feign
obedience
to
me, At
the
hearing
of
the
ear
they hearken
to
me.
Strangers
shall
fade away, and they
shall
be
afraid
out
of
their close places.
Sons
of
a
stranger
fade away, And gird
themselves
by
their close places.
The
LORD
liveth ;
and blessed be
my rock ;
and exalted be
the
God of
the rock of my salvation.
Jehovah
liveth ,
and blessed `is'
my Rock ,
And exalted is
my
God --
The Rock of my salvation.
It
is
God that
avengeth
me, and that
bringeth
down the
people
under me .
God --
who
is
giving
vengeance
to
me, And bringing
down peoples
under me ,
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 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
give
thanks
unto
thee, O LORD
, among the
heathen,
and I
will
sing
praises
unto
thy name.
Therefore I confess
Thee, O Jehovah
, among nations.
And to
Thy name I
sing
praise
.
He
is
the tower
of salvation
for
his king :
and sheweth
mercy
to his anointed, unto
David, and to his seed for
evermore.
Magnifying
the salvations
of His king ,
And doing
loving-kindness
to His anointed, To
David, and to his seed --
unto
the
age!'
