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