Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
To
the
Overseer.
--
By
a
servant
of
Jehovah,
by
David,
who
hath
spoken
to
Jehovah
the
words
of
this
song
in
the
day
Jehovah
delivered
him
from
the
hand
of
all
his
enemies,
and
from
the
hand
of
Saul,
and
he
saith:
--
I love Thee, O Jehovah
, my strength.
I will
love thee, O LORD
, my strength.
Jehovah
`
is '
my rock, and my bulwark
, And my deliverer ,
My God `is'
my rock
, I trust in
Him:
My shield
, and a
horn of my salvation, My high tower.
The
LORD
is my rock, and my fortress
, and my deliverer ;
my God ,
my strength
, in
whom
I will
trust ;
my buckler
, and the
horn of my salvation, and
my high tower.
The
`Praised
One'
I call Jehovah
, And
from
my
enemies
I am
saved.
I will
call upon
the
LORD
, who
is
worthy
to
be
praised:
so
shall
I be
saved from
mine
enemies
.
Compassed
me
have
cords
of death, And streams
of
the worthless
make
me afraid.
The
sorrows
of death compassed
me
, and the floods
of
ungodly
men
made
me afraid.
Cords
of Sheol
have
surrounded
me,
Before
me have
been
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
cry.
He heareth
from
His
temple
my voice, And My cry before Him cometh
into His ears.
In my
distress
I called
upon
the
LORD
, and cried
unto my God :
he heard
my voice out
of
his
temple
, and my cry came
before him ,
even
into his ears.
And
shake
and
tremble
doth
the earth ,
And foundations of hills are
troubled,
And they
shake
--
because He hath
wrath
.
Then
the earth shook
and trembled;
the
foundations also
of the
hills moved
and were
shaken,
because he was
wroth
.
Gone
up hath
smoke by
His nostrils, And fire from
His mouth consumeth,
Coals 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
the heavens, 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
He flieth
on
wings of wind.
And he rode
upon
a cherub, and did
fly :
yea
, he did
fly
upon
the
wings of the
wind.
He maketh
darkness His secret place ,
Round about Him His
tabernacle,
Darkness
of
waters ,
thick clouds of the skies.
He made
darkness his secret place ;
his
pavilion
round about him were
dark
waters and
thick clouds of the skies.
From
the brightness over-against
Him His thick clouds have
passed on
, Hail and coals of fire.
At
the brightness that
was
before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones
and coals of fire.
And
thunder
in the heavens doth
Jehovah
, And the Most
High
giveth
forth
His voice ,
Hail and coals of fire.
The
LORD
also
thundered
in the heavens, and the Highest
gave
his voice ;
hail stones
and coals of fire.
And
He sendeth
His arrows and scattereth
them ,
And much
lightning
, and crusheth
them.
Yea,
he sent
out
his arrows ,
and scattered
them ;
and he
shot
out
lightnings
, and discomfited
them.
And
seen
are
the streams
of waters, And revealed
are
foundations of the earth.
From
Thy rebuke, O Jehovah
, From
the breath
of the spirit
of Thine
anger
.
Then
the channels
of waters were
seen
, and the
foundations of the world
were
discovered
at
thy rebuke, O LORD
, at
the blast
of the breath
of thy
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, And from those
hating
me ,
For they have
been
stronger
than
I
.
He delivered
me from my strong enemy, and from them
which
hated
me :
for they were
too
strong
for
me
.
They go
before
me in a
day of my calamity And
Jehovah
is
for
a
support
to
me
.
They prevented
me in the
day of my calamity :
but
the
LORD
was
my
stay
.
And
He bringeth
me forth to
a large place ,
He draweth
me out
, because He delighted in me.
He brought
me forth also
into
a large place ;
he delivered
me, because he delighted in me.
Jehovah
doth
recompense
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, And His
statutes
I turn
not from me.
For all his judgments were
before me, and I did
not put
away
his
statutes
from me.
And
I am
perfect
with
him, And I keep
myself from mine iniquity.
I was
also
upright
before
him, and I kept
myself from mine iniquity.
And
Jehovah
doth
return
to
me ,
According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands ,
Over-against
his eyes
.
Therefore
hath
the
LORD
recompensed
me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in
his eyesight
.
With the kind
Thou showest
Thyself kind,
With a
perfect
man showest
Thyself perfect.
With the merciful
thou wilt
shew
thyself merciful;
with an
upright
man thou
wilt
shew
thyself upright;
With the pure Thou showest
Thyself pure ,
And with the perverse
showest
Thyself a
wrestler,
With the pure thou wilt
shew
thyself pure ;
and with the froward
thou
wilt
shew
thyself froward.
For Thou a
poor
people
savest,
And
the
eyes
of
the high causest
to
fall
.
For thou wilt
save
the afflicted
people;
but
wilt
bring
down
high looks
.
For Thou --
Thou
lightest
my lamp,
Jehovah
my God enlighteneth
my darkness.
For thou wilt
light
my candle:
the
LORD
my God will
enlighten
my darkness.
For by Thee I run --
a troop !
And by my God I leap
a wall.
For by thee I have
run through
a troop ;
and by my God have
I leaped
over
a wall.
God !
perfect
`is'
His way ,
The saying
of Jehovah
is tried ,
A
shield
`is'
He 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 those that
trust
in him.
For who `
is '
God besides
Jehovah
? And
who `
is '
a rock save our God?
For who is God save
the
LORD
? or
who is a rock save our God?
God!
who
is girding
me `
with '
strength, And He
maketh perfect
my way.
It
is God
that
girdeth
me with strength, and 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
a bow of brass
was
brought
down
by my
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 right hand doth
support
me, And Thy lowliness
maketh
me great.
Thou hast
also
given
me the shield of thy salvation :
and thy right hand hath
holden
me up
, 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, that
my
feet
did
not slip
.
I pursue
mine enemies, and overtake
them ,
And
turn back
not
till they are
consumed.
I have
pursued
mine enemies, and overtaken
them :
neither
did
I
turn again
till they were
consumed.
I smite
them ,
and
they are
not able to rise ,
They fall
under my feet ,
I have
wounded
them that
they were
not able to rise :
they are
fallen
under my feet .
And
Thou girdest
me `
with '
strength for
battle ,
Causest
my
withstanders
to
bow
under me.
For
thou hast
girded
me with strength unto
the
battle :
thou
hast
subdued
under me those
that
rose
up
against
me
.
As
to
mine
enemies
--
Thou hast given to
me the neck,
As
to
those
hating
me
--
I cut
them off
.
Thou hast also
given me the necks
of
mine
enemies;
that
I might
destroy
them that
hate
me
.
They cry
, and
there is
no
saviour,
On
Jehovah
, and
He doth
not
answer
them.
They cried
, but
there was
none
to
save
them:
even
unto
the
LORD
, but
he answered
them not
.
And
I beat them as dust before wind,
As
mire
of
the streets
I empty
them out.
Then
did
I beat them small
as the
dust before the wind:
I did
cast
them out as
the
dirt
in
the
streets
.
Thou dost
deliver
me From the strivings of the people ,
Thou placest
me for
a
head of nations,
A people I have not known do
serve me.
Thou hast
delivered
me from the strivings of the people ;
and
thou hast
made
me the
head of the
heathen:
a people whom
I have not known shall
serve me.
At
the
hearing
of
the
ear
they hearken
to
me,
Sons
of a
stranger
feign
obedience
to
me,
As
soon
as
they hear
of me, they
shall
obey
me:
the
strangers
shall
submit
themselves
unto
me.
Sons
of
a
stranger
fade away, And are
slain
out of their close places.
The
strangers
shall
fade away, and be
afraid
out of their close places.
Jehovah
liveth --
and blessed `is'
my rock ,
And exalted
is
the God of my salvation.
The
LORD
liveth ;
and blessed be
my rock ;
and let
the God of my salvation be
exalted
.
God
--
who
is giving
vengeance
to
me, And He
subdueth peoples
under me ,
It
is God
that
avengeth
me, and subdueth the
people
under me .
My
deliverer
from mine enemies, Above my
withstanders
Thou raisest
me ,
From a
man of
violence
dost
deliver
me
.
He
delivereth
me
from mine enemies :
yea
, thou
liftest
me
up
above those
that
rise
up
against
me:
thou hast
delivered
me from the
violent
man.
Therefore I confess
Thee among
nations
, O Jehovah
, And to
Thy name I
sing
praise,
Therefore will
I give
thanks
unto
thee, O LORD
, among
the
heathen,
and sing
praises
unto
thy name .
Magnifying
the
salvation
of
His king ,
And doing
kindness
to His anointed, To David, and to his seed --
unto
the
age!
Great
deliverance
giveth
he
to
his king ;
and sheweth
mercy
to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for
evermore.
