0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G3588 to the G3816 servant G2962 of the lord; G3588 to G* David; G3739 what G2980 he spoke G3588 to the G2962 lord; G3588 the G3056 words G3588 G5603 of this ode, G3778 G1722 in G2250 the day G3739 in which G4506 [³rescued G1473 ⁴him G3588 ¹the G2962 ² lord] G1537 from out of G5495 the hand G3956 of all G3588 G2190 his enemies, G1473 G2532 and G1537 from out of G5495 the hand G* of Saul. G2532 And G2036 he said;

1 G25 I shall love G1473 you, G2962 O lord, G2479 of my strength. G1473

2 G2962 The lord G4733 is my firmament, G1473 G2532 and G2707.1 my refuge, G1473 G2532 and G4511.1 my rescuer. G1473 G3588 My God G2316 G1473 G998 is my helper, G1473 G2532 and G1679 I will hope G1909 upon G1473 him; G5231.5 my defender G1473 G2532 and G2768 horn G4991 of my deliverance, G1473 G2532 and G483.1 my shielder. G1473

3 G134 In praising, G1941 I will call upon G3588 the G2962 lord; G2532 and G1537 from G3588 G2190 my enemies G1473 G4982 I shall be delivered.

4 G4023 [³compassed G1473 ⁴me G5604 ¹Pangs G2288 ²of death], G2532 and G5493 rushing streams G458 of lawlessness G1613 disturbed G1473 me.

5 G5604 Pangs G86 of Hades G4033 surrounded G1473 me; G4399 [³anticipated G1473 ⁴me G3803 ¹snares G2288 ²of death].

6 G2532 And G1722 in G3588 G2346 my being afflicted G1473 G1941 I called upon G3588 the G2962 lord, G2532 and G4314 to G3588 G2316 my God G1473 G2896 I cried out. G191 He heard G1537 [²from out of G3485 ⁴temple G39 ³his holy G1473 G5456 ¹my voice], G1473 G2532 and G3588 G2906 my cry G1473 G1799 before G1473 him G1525 shall enter G1519 into G3588 G3775 his ears. G1473

7 G2532 And G4531 it was shaken; G2532 and G1790 trembling G1096 took place G3588 on the G1093 earth; G2532 and G3588 the G2310 foundations G3588 of the G3735 mountains G5015 were disturbed G2532 and G4531 shaken; G3754 for G3710 [²was provoked to anger G1473 ³by them G3588 G2316 ¹God].

8 G305 [²ascended G2586 ¹Smoke] G1722 in G3709 his anger, G1473 G2532 and G4442 fire G575 from G4383 in front G1473 of him. G2705.2 [²shall be ignited G440 ¹Coals]; G381 they were lit G575 by G1473 him.

9 G2532 And G2827 he leaned G3772 the heavens, G2532 and G2597 came down, G2532 and G1105 dimness G5259 was under G3588 G4228 his feet. G1473

10 G2532 And G1910 he mounted G1909 upon G5502 cherubim, G2532 and G4070.3 he spread out; G4070.3 he spread out G1909 upon G4420 wings G417 of winds.

11 G2532 And G5087 he established G4655 darkness G613.1 for his concealment. G1473 G2945 Round about G1473 him G3588 G4633 was his tent; G1473 G4652 dark G5204 water G1722 in G3507 clouds G109 of air.

12 G575 From G3588 the G5080.3 radiance G1799 of his presence G1473 G3588 the G3507 clouds G1330 went by; G5464 hail G2532 and G440 coals G4442 of fire.

13 G2532 And G1026.2 [²thundered G1537 ³from out of G3772 ⁴heaven G2962 ¹ the lord], G2532 and G3588 the G5310 highest G1325 uttered G5456 his voice. G1473

14 G2532 And G1821 he sent out G956 arrows, G2532 and G4650 dispersed G1473 them; G2532 and G796 [²lightnings G4129 ¹he multiplied], G2532 and G4928.4 disturbed them. G1473

15 G2532 And G3708 appeared G3588 the G4077 springs G3588 G5204 of waters; G2532 and G343 [⁵were uncovered G3588 ¹the G2310 ²foundations G3588 ³of the G3611 ⁴inhabitable world] G575 from G2008.1 your reproach, G1473 G2962 O lord, G575 from G1708.2 the blasting G4151 breath G3709 of your anger. G1473

16 G1821 He sent G1537 from G5311 the height, G2532 and G2983 he took G1473 me; G4355 he took me to himself G1473 G1537 from out of G5204 [²waters G4183 ¹many].

17 G4506 He will rescue G1473 me G1537 from G2190 [³enemies G1473 ¹my G1415 ²mighty], G2532 and G1537 from G3588 the ones G3404 detesting G1473 me; G3754 for G4732 they are more solidified G5228 than G1473 me.

18 G4399 They went before G1473 me G1722 in G2250 the day G2561 of my ill-treatment, G1473 G2532 and G1096 the lord became G2962 G496.5 my support. G1473

19 G2532 And G1806 he brought G1473 me G1519 into G4116.1 an enlargement. G4506 He shall rescue G1473 me, G3754 for G2309 he wanted G1473 me.

20 G2532 And G467 [²shall recompense G1473 ³to me G2962 ¹ the lord] G2596 according to G3588 G1343 my righteousness; G1473 G2532 even G2596 according to G3588 the G2511.1 cleanliness G3588 G5495 of my hands G1473 G467 he will recompense G1473 to me.

21 G3754 For G5442 I guarded G3588 the G3598 ways G2962 of the lord, G2532 and G3756 did not G764 impiously depart G575 from G3588 G2316 my God. G1473

22 G3754 For G3956 all G3588 G2917 his judgments G1473 G1799 are before G1473 me; G2532 and G3588 G1345 his ordinances G1473 G3756 did not G868 leave G575 from G1473 me.

23 G2532 And G1510.8.1 I will be G299 unblemished G3326 with G1473 him; G2532 and G5442 I shall guard myself G575 from G3588 G458 my lawlessness. G1473

24 G2532 And G467 [²shall recompense G1473 ³to me G2962 ¹ the lord] G2596 according to G3588 G1343 my righteousness, G1473 G2532 and G2596 according to G3588 the G2511.1 cleanliness G3588 G5495 of my hands G1473 G1799 before G3588 G3788 his eyes. G1473

25 G3326 With G3741 the sacred G3741 you shall be sacred; G1510.8.2 G2532 and G3326 with G435 [²man G121 ¹ the innocent] G121 you shall be innocent; G1510.8.2

26 G2532 and G3326 with G1588 the choice one, G1588 you will be choice; G1510.8.2 G2532 and G3326 with G4760.1 the crooked G1294 you shall turn aside from.

27 G3754 For G1473 you G2992 [³people G5011 ² the humble G4982 ¹will deliver], G2532 and G3788 the eyes G5244 of the proud G5013 you will humble.

28 G3754 For G1473 you G5461 shall light G3088 my lamp, G1473 G2962 O lord G3588 G2316 my God; G1473 G5461 you shall lighten G3588 G4655 my darkness. G1473

29 G3754 For G1722 by G1473 you G4506 I shall be rescued G575 from G3986.2 the band of marauders; G2532 and G1722 by G3588 G2316 my God G1473 G5233 I shall pass over G5038 the wall.

30 G3588 G2316 My God -- G1473 G299 unblemished is G3588 G3598 his way. G1473 G3588 The G3051 oracles G2962 of the lord G4448 are tried by fire. G5231.5 He is a defender G1510.2.3 G3956 of all G3588 the ones G1679 hoping G1909 upon G1473 him.

31 G3754 For G5100 who G2316 is God G3926.1 besides G3588 the G2962 lord ? G2228 Or G5100 who G2316 is God G4133 besides G3588 G2316 our God? G1473

32 G3588 G2316 God G3588 is the G4024 one girding G1473 me G1411 with power, G2532 and G5087 makes G299 [²unblemished G3588 G3598 ¹my way]; G1473

33 G3588 the one G2675 readying G3588 G4228 my feet G1473 G5616 as G1643.1 a stag, G2532 and G1909 [³upon G3588 ⁴the G5308 ⁵high places G2476 ¹setting G1473 ²me];

34 G1321 teaching G5495 my hands G1473 G1519 for G4171 war; G2532 and G5087 you made G5115 [²as the bow G5470 ³of brass G3588 G1023 ¹my arms]; G1473

35 G2532 and G1325 you gave G1473 to me G5231.4 a shielding G4991 deliverance; G2532 and G3588 G1188 your right hand G1473 G482 takes hold of G1473 me; G2532 and G3588 G3809 your instruction G1473 G461 re-erects G1473 me G1519 unto G5056 the end; G2532 and G3588 G3809 your instruction G1473 G1473 itself G1473 teaches me. G1321

36 G4115 You widened G3588 G1226.1 my footsteps G1473 G5270 underneath G1473 me, G2532 and G3756 [²weakened not G770 G3588 G2487 ¹my soles]. G1473

37 G2614 I shall pursue G3588 G2190 my enemies G1473 G2532 and G2638 overtake G1473 them; G2532 and G3756 I will not G654 return G2193 until G302 whenever G1587 they should cease.

38 G1570.2 I shall squeeze G1473 them, G2532 and G3766.2 in no way G1410 should they be able G2476 to stand; G4098 they shall fall G5259 under G3588 G4228 my feet. G1473

39 G2532 And G4024 you girded G1473 me G1411 in power G1519 for G4171 war; G4846.1 you bound hand and foot G3956 all G3588 the ones G1881 rising up G1909 against G1473 me G5270 underneath G1473 me.

40 G2532 And G3588 G2190 [⁴of my enemies G1473 G1325 ¹you gave G1473 ²to me G3577 ³ the back]; G2532 and G3588 the ones G3404 detesting G1473 me G1842 you utterly destroyed.

41 G2896 They cried out G2532 [³and G3756 ⁴there was no one G1510.7.3 G3588 G4982 ⁵delivering G4314 ¹to G2962 ² the lord], G2532 and G3756 he did not G1522 hear G1473 them.

42 G2532 And G3016.1 I will make them as fine G1473 G5616 as G5522 dust G2596 against G4383 the face G417 of the wind; G5613 as G4081 mud G4113 in the squares G3001.2 I will grind G1473 them.

43 G4506 You shall rescue G1473 me G1537 from G485 a dispute G2992 of people; G2525 you shall place G1473 me G1519 at G2776 the head G1484 of nations; G2992 a people G3739 whom G3756 I knew not G1097 G1398 shall serve G1473 to me;

44 G1519 in G189 the hearing G5621 of the ear G5219 they obeyed me. G5207 [²sons G245 ¹Alien] G5574 lied G1473 to me.

45 G5207 [²sons G245 ¹Alien] G3822 grew old G2532 and G5559.8 became lame G575 from G3588 G5147 their paths. G1473

46 G2198 The lord lives, G2962 G2532 and G2128 blessed is G3588 G2316 God, G2532 and G5312 [⁴ is raised up high G3588 ¹the G2316 ²God G3588 G4991 ³of my deliverance]. G1473

47 G3588 The G2316 God, G3588 the G1325 one granting G1557 acts of vengeance G1473 to me, G2532 and G5293 submitting G2992 peoples G5259 under G1473 me;

48 G3588 G4511.1 my rescuer G1473 G1537 from G2190 my enemies G1473 G3711 prone to anger. G575 [²from G3588 ³the ones G1881 ⁴rising up G1909 ⁵against G1473 ⁶me G5312 ¹You raised me up high]; G1473 G575 from G435 [²man G94 ¹ the unjust] G4506 you shall rescue G1473 me.

49 G1223 On account of G3778 this G1843 I shall make acknowledgment G1473 to you G1722 among G1484 the nations, G2962 O lord, G2532 and G3588 to G3686 your name G1473 G5567 I shall strum;

50 G3170 the one magnifying G3588 the G4991 deliverance G3588 of the G935 king; G2532 and G4160 appointing G1656 mercy G3588 to G5547 his anointed one, G1473 G3588 to G* David G2532 and G3588 to G4690 his seed G1473 G2193 unto G165 the eon.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength. ² The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge. ³ I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies. ⁴ The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide. ⁵ The sorowes of the graue haue compassed me about: the snares of death ouertooke me. ⁶ But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares. ⁷ Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie. ⁸ Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat. ⁹ He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete. ¹⁰ And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde. ¹¹ He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre. ¹² At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire. ¹³ The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire. ¹⁴ Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them. ¹⁵ And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels. ¹⁶ He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters. ¹⁷ He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me. ¹⁸ They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay. ¹⁹ Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me. ²⁰ The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me: ²¹ Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God. ²² For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee. ²³ I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes. ²⁴ Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight. ²⁵ With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright. ²⁶ With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward. ²⁷ Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes. ²⁸ Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes. ²⁹ For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall. ³⁰ The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him. ³¹ For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God? ³² God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright. ³³ He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places. ³⁴ He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes. ³⁵ Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase. ³⁶ Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid. ³⁷ I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them. ³⁸ I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete. ³⁹ For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me. ⁴⁰ And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. ⁴¹ They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not. ⁴² Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes. ⁴³ Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me. ⁴⁴ As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me. ⁴⁵ Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers. ⁴⁶ Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted. ⁴⁷ It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me. ⁴⁸ O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man. ⁴⁹ Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name. ⁵⁰ Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H1732 , A Psalm of David H5650 , the servant H3068 of the LORD H1696 , who spake [H8765] H3068 unto the LORD H1697 the words H7892 of this song H3117 in the day H3068 that the LORD H5337 delivered [H8689] H3709 him from the hand H341 of all his enemies [H8802] H3027 , and from the hand H7586 of Saul H559 : And he said [H8799] H7355 , I will love [H8799] H3068 thee, O LORD H2391 , my strength.

2 H3068 The LORD H5553 is my rock H4686 , and my fortress H6403 , and my deliverer [H8764] H410 ; my God H6697 , my strength H2620 , in whom I will trust [H8799] H4043 ; my buckler H7161 , and the horn H3468 of my salvation H4869 , and my high tower.

3 H7121 I will call [H8799] H3068 upon the LORD H1984 , who is worthy to be praised [H8794] H3467 : so shall I be saved [H8735] H341 from mine enemies [H8802] .

4 H2256 The sorrows H4194 of death H661 compassed [H8804] H5158 me, and the floods H1100 of ungodly men H1204 made me afraid [H8762] .

5 H2256 The sorrows H7585 of hell H5437 compassed me about [H8804] H4170 : the snares H4194 of death H6923 prevented [H8765] me.

6 H6862 In my distress H7121 I called [H8799] H3068 upon the LORD H7768 , and cried [H8762] H430 unto my God H8085 : he heard [H8799] H6963 my voice H1964 out of his temple H7775 , and my cry H935 came [H8799] H6440 before H241 him, even into his ears.

7 H776 Then the earth H1607 shook [H8799] H7493 and trembled [H8799] H4146 ; the foundations H2022 also of the hills H7264 moved [H8799] H1607 and were shaken [H8691] H2734 , because he was wroth [H8804] .

8 H5927 There went up [H8804] H6227 a smoke H639 out of his nostrils H784 , and fire H6310 out of his mouth H398 devoured [H8799] H1513 : coals H1197 were kindled [H8804] by it.

9 H5186 He bowed [H8799] H8064 the heavens H3381 also, and came down [H8799] H6205 : and darkness H7272 was under his feet.

10 H7392 And he rode [H8799] H3742 upon a cherub H5774 , and did fly [H8799] H1675 : yea, he did fly [H8799] H3671 upon the wings H7307 of the wind.

11 H7896 He made [H8799] H2822 darkness H5643 his secret place H5521 ; his pavilion H5439 round about H2824 him were dark H4325 waters H5645 and thick clouds H7834 of the skies.

12 H5051 At the brightness H5645 that was before him his thick clouds H5674 passed [H8804] H1259 , hail H1513 stones and coals H784 of fire.

13 H3068 The LORD H7481 also thundered [H8686] H8064 in the heavens H5945 , and the Highest H5414 gave [H8799] H6963 his voice H1259 ; hail H1513 stones and coals H784 of fire.

14 H7971 Yea, he sent out [H8799] H2671 his arrows H6327 , and scattered [H8686] H7232 them; and he shot out [H8804] H1300 lightnings H2000 , and discomfited [H8799] them.

15 H650 Then the channels H4325 of waters H7200 were seen [H8735] H4146 , and the foundations H8398 of the world H1540 were discovered [H8735] H1606 at thy rebuke H3068 , O LORD H5397 , at the blast H7307 of the breath H639 of thy nostrils.

16 H7971 He sent [H8799] H4791 from above H3947 , he took [H8799] H4871 me, he drew [H8686] H7227 me out of many H4325 waters.

17 H5337 He delivered [H8686] H5794 me from my strong H341 enemy [H8802] H8130 , and from them which hated [H8802] H553 me: for they were too strong [H8804] for me.

18 H6923 They prevented [H8762] H3117 me in the day H343 of my calamity H3068 : but the LORD H4937 was my stay.

19 H3318 He brought me forth [H8686] H4800 also into a large place H2502 ; he delivered [H8762] H2654 me, because he delighted [H8804] in me.

20 H3068 The LORD H1580 rewarded [H8799] H6664 me according to my righteousness H1252 ; according to the cleanness H3027 of my hands H7725 hath he recompensed [H8686] me.

21 H8104 For I have kept [H8804] H1870 the ways H3068 of the LORD H7561 , and have not wickedly departed [H8804] H430 from my God.

22 H4941 For all his judgments H5493 were before me, and I did not put away [H8686] H2708 his statutes from me.

23 H8549 I was also upright H8104 before him, and I kept [H8691] H5771 myself from mine iniquity.

24 H3068 Therefore hath the LORD H7725 recompensed [H8686] H6664 me according to my righteousness H1252 , according to the cleanness H3027 of my hands H5869 in his eyesight.

25 H2623 With the merciful H2616 thou wilt shew thyself merciful [H8691] H8549 ; with an upright H1399 man H8552 thou wilt shew thyself upright [H8691] ;

26 H1305 With the pure [H8737] H1305 thou wilt shew thyself pure [H8691] H6141 ; and with the froward H6617 thou wilt shew thyself froward [H8691] .

27 H3467 For thou wilt save [H8686] H6041 the afflicted H5971 people H8213 ; but wilt bring down [H8686] H7311 high [H8802] H5869 looks.

28 H215 For thou wilt light [H8686] H5216 my candle H3068 : the LORD H430 my God H5050 will enlighten [H8686] H2822 my darkness.

29 H7323 For by thee I have run through [H8799] H1416 a troop H430 ; and by my God H1801 have I leaped over [H8762] H7791 a wall.

30 H410 As for God H1870 , his way H8549 is perfect H565 : the word H3068 of the LORD H6884 is tried [H8803] H4043 : he is a buckler H2620 to all those that trust [H8802] in him.

31 H433 For who is God H1107 save H3068 the LORD H6697 ? or who is a rock H2108 save H430 our God?

32 H410 It is God H247 that girdeth [H8764] H2428 me with strength H5414 , and maketh [H8799] H1870 my way H8549 perfect.

33 H7737 He maketh [H8764] H7272 my feet H355 like hinds H5975 ' feet, and setteth [H8686] H1116 me upon my high places.

34 H3925 He teacheth [H8764] H3027 my hands H4421 to war H7198 , so that a bow H5154 of steel H5181 is broken [H8765] H2220 by mine arms.

35 H5414 Thou hast also given [H8799] H4043 me the shield H3468 of thy salvation H3225 : and thy right hand H5582 hath holden me up [H8799] H6037 , and thy gentleness H7235 hath made me great [H8686] .

36 H7337 Thou hast enlarged [H8686] H6806 my steps H7166 under me, that my feet H4571 did not slip [H8804] .

37 H7291 I have pursued [H8799] H341 mine enemies [H8802] H5381 , and overtaken [H8686] H7725 them: neither did I turn again [H8799] H3615 till they were consumed [H8763] .

38 H4272 I have wounded [H8799] H3201 them that they were not able [H8799] H6965 to rise [H8800] H5307 : they are fallen [H8799] H7272 under my feet.

39 H247 For thou hast girded [H8762] H2428 me with strength H4421 unto the battle H3766 : thou hast subdued [H8686] H6965 under me those that rose up [H8801] against me.

40 H5414 Thou hast also given [H8804] H6203 me the necks H341 of mine enemies [H8802] H6789 ; that I might destroy [H8686] H8130 them that hate [H8764] me.

41 H7768 They cried [H8762] H3467 , but there was none to save [H8688] H3068 them: even unto the LORD H6030 , but he answered [H8804] them not.

42 H7833 Then did I beat [H8799] H6083 them small as the dust H6440 before H7307 the wind H7324 : I did cast them out [H8686] H2916 as the dirt H2351 in the streets.

43 H6403 Thou hast delivered [H8762] H7379 me from the strivings H5971 of the people H7760 ; and thou hast made [H8799] H7218 me the head H1471 of the heathen H5971 : a people H3045 whom I have not known [H8804] H5647 shall serve [H8799] me.

44 H8088 As soon as they hear H241 H8085 of me, they shall obey [H8735] H1121 me: the strangers H5236 H3584 shall submit [H8762] themselves unto me.

45 H1121 The strangers H5236 H5034 shall fade away [H8799] H2727 , and be afraid [H8799] H4526 out of their close places.

46 H3068 The LORD H2416 liveth H1288 ; and blessed [H8803] H6697 be my rock H430 ; and let the God H3468 of my salvation H7311 be exalted [H8799] .

47 H410 It is God H5414 that avengeth [H8802] H5360 H1696 me, and subdueth [H8686] H5971 the people under me.

48 H6403 He delivereth [H8764] H341 me from mine enemies [H8802] H7311 : yea, thou liftest me up [H8787] H6965 above those that rise up [H8801] H5337 against me: thou hast delivered [H8686] H2555 me from the violent H376 man.

49 H3034 Therefore will I give thanks [H8686] H3068 unto thee, O LORD H1471 , among the heathen H2167 , and sing praises [H8762] H8034 unto thy name.

50 H1431 Great [H8688] H3444 deliverance H4428 giveth he to his king H6213 ; and sheweth [H8802] H2617 mercy H4899 to his anointed H1732 , to David H2233 , and to his seed H5704 for H5769 evermore.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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. ² 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. ³ The `Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved. ⁴ Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid. ⁵ Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death. ⁶ 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. ⁷ And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake--because He hath wrath. ⁸ Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it. ⁹ And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness is under His feet. ¹⁰ And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind. ¹¹ He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. ¹² From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire. ¹³ And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire. ¹⁴ And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them. ¹⁵ 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. ¹⁶ He sendeth from above--He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters. ¹⁷ He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I. ¹⁸ They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me. ¹⁹ And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.
²⁰ Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me. ²¹ For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God. ²² For all His judgments are before me, And His statutes I turn not from me. ²³ And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity. ²⁴ And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes. ²⁵ With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect. ²⁶ With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler, ²⁷ For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall. ²⁸ For Thou--Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
²⁹ For by Thee I run--a troop! And by my God I leap a wall. ³⁰ God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him. ³¹ For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is a rock save our God? ³² God! who is girding me with strength, And He maketh perfect my way. ³³ Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand. ³⁴ Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms. ³⁵ And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great. ³⁶ Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden. ³⁷ I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed. ³⁸ I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet, ³⁹ And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me. ⁴⁰ As to mine enemies--Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me--I cut them off. ⁴¹ They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them. ⁴² And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out. ⁴³ 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. ⁴⁴ At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, ⁴⁵ Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places. ⁴⁶ Jehovah liveth--and blessed is my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation. ⁴⁷ God--who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me, ⁴⁸ My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me. ⁴⁹ Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise, ⁵⁰ Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed--unto the age!

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength. ² Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. ³ I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies. ⁴ The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. ⁵ The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me. ⁶ In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears. ⁷ Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth. ⁸ There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it. ⁹ He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet. ¹⁰ And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind. ¹¹ He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. ¹² At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire. ¹³ Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. ¹⁴ And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them. ¹⁵ Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. ¹⁶ He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters. ¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me. ¹⁸ They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay. ¹⁹ He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me. ²⁰ Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. ²¹ For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God. ²² For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me. ²³ I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity. ²⁴ Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. ²⁵ With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect; ²⁶ With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward. ²⁷ For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down. ²⁸ For thou wilt light my lamp: Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness. ²⁹ For by thee I run upon a troop; And by my God do I leap over a wall. ³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him. ³¹ For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God, ³² The God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect? ³³ He maketh my feet like hinds feet: And setteth me upon my high places. ³⁴ He teacheth my hands to war; So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass. ³⁵ 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. ³⁶ Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped. ³⁷ I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed. ³⁸ I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet. ³⁹ For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. ⁴⁰ Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me. ⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not. ⁴² Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets. ⁴³ Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me. ⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me. ⁴⁵ The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places. ⁴⁶ Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation, ⁴⁷ Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me. ⁴⁸ He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man. ⁴⁹ Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name. ⁵⁰ Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore. Psalm 19 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
