For the Chief Musician.{H5329} [A Psalm] of David{H1732} the servant{H5650} of Jehovah,{H3068} who spake{H1696} unto Jehovah{H3068} the words{H1697} of this song{H7892} in the day{H3117} that Jehovah{H3068} delivered{H5337} him from the hand{H3709} of all his enemies,{H341} and from the hand{H3027} of Saul:{H7586} and he said,{H559} I love{H7355} thee, O Jehovah,{H3068} my strength.{H2391}

Jehovah{H3068} is my rock,{H5553} and my fortress,{H4686} and my deliverer;{H6403} My God,{H410} my rock,{H6697} in whom I will take refuge;{H2620} My shield,{H4043} and the horn{H7161} of my salvation,{H3468} my high tower.{H4869}

I will call{H7121} upon Jehovah,{H3068} who is worthy to be praised:{H1984} So shall I be saved{H3467} from mine enemies.{H341}

The cords{H2256} of death{H4194} compassed{H661} me, And the floods{H5158} of ungodliness{H1100} made me afraid.{H1204}

The cords{H2256} of Sheol{H7585} were round about{H5437} me; The snares{H4170} of death{H4194} came upon{H6923} me.

In my distress{H6862} I called{H7121} upon Jehovah,{H3068} And cried{H7768} unto my God:{H430} He heard{H8085} my voice{H6963} out of his temple,{H1964} And my cry{H7775} before{H6440} him came{H935} into his ears.{H241}

Then the earth{H776} shook{H1607} and trembled;{H7493} The foundations{H4146} also of the mountains{H2022} quaked{H7264} And were shaken,{H1607} because he was wroth.{H2734}

There went up{H5927} a smoke{H6227} out of his nostrils,{H639} And fire{H784} out of his mouth{H6310} devoured:{H398} Coals{H1513} were kindled{H1197} by it.

He bowed{H5186} the heavens{H8064} also, and came down;{H3381} And thick darkness{H6205} was under his feet.{H7272}

And he rode{H7392} upon a cherub,{H3742} and did fly;{H5774} Yea, he soared{H1675} upon the wings{H3671} of the wind.{H7307}

He made{H7896} darkness{H2822} his hiding-place,{H5643} his pavilion{H5521} round about{H5439} him, Darkness{H2824} of waters,{H4325} thick clouds{H5645} of the skies.{H5645}

At the brightness{H5051} before him his thick clouds{H5645} passed,{H5674} Hailstones{H1259} and coals{H1513} of fire.{H784}

Jehovah{H3068} also thundered{H7481} in the heavens,{H8064} And the Most High{H5945} uttered{H5414} his voice,{H6963} Hailstones{H1259} and coals{H1513} of fire.{H784}

And he sent out{H7971} his arrows,{H2671} and scattered{H6327} them; Yea, lightnings{H1300} manifold,{H7232} and discomfited{H2000} them.

Then the channels{H650} of waters{H4325} appeared,{H7200} And the foundations{H4146} of the world{H8398} were laid bare,{H1540} At thy rebuke,{H1606} O Jehovah,{H3068} At the blast{H5397} of the breath{H7307} of thy nostrils.{H639}

He sent{H7971} from on high,{H4791} he took{H3947} me; He drew{H4871} me out of many{H7227} waters.{H4325}

He delivered{H5337} me from my strong{H5794} enemy,{H341} And from them that hated{H8130} me; For they were too mighty{H553} for me.

They came upon{H6923} me in the day{H3117} of my calamity;{H343} But Jehovah{H3068} was my stay.{H4937}

He brought me forth{H3318} also into a large place;{H4800} He delivered{H2502} me, because he delighted{H2654} in me.

Jehovah{H3068} hath rewarded{H1580} me according to my righteousness;{H6664} According to the cleanness{H1252} of my hands{H3027} hath he recompensed{H7725} me.

For I have kept{H8104} the ways{H1870} of Jehovah,{H3068} And have not wickedly departed{H7561} from my God.{H430}

For all his ordinances{H4941} were before me, And I put not away{H5493} his statutes{H2708} from me.

I was also perfect{H8549} with him, And I kept{H8104} myself from mine iniquity.{H5771}

Therefore hath Jehovah{H3068} recompensed{H7725} me according to my righteousness,{H6664} According to the cleanness{H1252} of my hands{H3027} in his eyesight.{H5869}

With the merciful{H2623} thou wilt show thyself merciful;{H2616} With the perfect{H8549} man{H1399} thou wilt show thyself perfect;{H8549}

With the pure{H1305} thou wilt show thyself pure;{H1305} And with the perverse{H6141} thou wilt show thyself froward.{H6617}

For thou wilt save{H3467} the afflicted{H6041} people;{H5971} But the haughty{H7311} eyes{H5869} thou wilt bring down.{H8213}

For thou wilt light{H215} my lamp:{H5216} Jehovah{H3068} my God{H430} will lighten{H5050} my darkness.{H2822}

For by thee I run upon{H7323} a troop;{H1416} And by my God{H430} do I leap over{H1801} a wall.{H7791}

As for God,{H410} his way{H1870} is perfect:{H8549} The word{H565} of Jehovah{H3068} is tried;{H6884} He is a shield{H4043} unto all them that take refuge{H2620} in him.

For who is God,{H433} save{H1107} Jehovah?{H3068} And who is a rock,{H6697} besides{H2108} our God,{H430}

The God{H410} that girdeth{H247} me with strength,{H2428} And maketh{H5414} my way{H1870} perfect?{H8549}

He maketh{H7737} my feet{H7272} like hinds'{H355} [feet]: And setteth{H5975} me upon my high places.{H1116}

He teacheth{H3925} my hands{H3027} to war;{H4421} So that mine arms{H2220} do bend{H5181} a bow{H7198} of brass.{H5154}

Thou hast also given{H5414} me the shield{H4043} of thy salvation;{H3468} And thy right hand{H3225} hath holden me up,{H5582} And thy gentleness{H6037} hath made me great.{H7235}

Thou hast enlarged{H7337} my steps{H6806} under me, And my feet{H7166} have not slipped.{H4571}

I will pursue{H7291} mine enemies,{H341} and overtake{H5381} them; Neither will I turn again{H7725} till they are consumed.{H3615}

I will smite{H4272} them through, so that they shall not be able{H3201} to rise:{H6965} They shall fall{H5307} under my feet.{H7272}

For thou hast girded{H247} me with strength{H2428} unto the battle:{H4421} Thou hast subdued{H3766} under me those that rose up{H6965} against me.

Thou hast also made{H5414} mine enemies{H341} turn their backs{H6203} unto me, That I might cut off{H6789} them that hate{H8130} me.

They cried,{H7768} but there was none to save;{H3467} Even unto Jehovah,{H3068} but he answered{H6030} them not.

Then did I beat{H7833} them small as the dust{H6083} before{H6440} the wind;{H7307} I did cast them out{H7324} as the mire{H2916} of the streets.{H2351}

Thou hast delivered{H6403} me from the strivings{H7379} of the people;{H5971} Thou hast made{H7760} me the head{H7218} of the nations:{H1471} A people{H5971} whom I have not known{H3045} shall serve{H5647} me.

As soon as they hear{H8088} of me they shall obey{H8085} me; The foreigners{H1121} shall submit{H3584} themselves unto me.

The foreigners{H1121} shall fade away,{H5034} And shall come trembling{H2727} out of their close places.{H4526}

Jehovah{H3068} liveth;{H2416} And blessed{H1288} be my rock;{H6697} And exalted{H7311} be the God{H430} of my salvation,{H3468}

Even the God{H410} that executeth vengeance{H5414} for me, And subdueth{H1696} peoples{H5971} under me.

He rescueth{H6403} me from mine enemies;{H341} Yea, thou liftest me up{H7311} above them that rise up{H6965} against me; Thou deliverest{H5337} me from the violent{H2555} man.{H376}

Therefore I will give thanks{H3034} unto thee, O Jehovah,{H3068} among the nations,{H1471} And will sing praises{H2167} unto thy name.{H8034}

Great{H1431} deliverance{H3444} giveth he to his king,{H4428} And showeth{H6213} lovingkindness{H2617} to his anointed,{H4899} To David{H1732} and to his seed,{H2233} for{H5704} evermore.{H5769}
