1. 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,
|
1. And David H1732 spoke H1696 unto the LORD H3068 H853 the words H1697 of this H2063 song H7892 in the day H3117 that the LORD H3068 had delivered H5337 him out of the hand H4480 H3709 of all H3605 his enemies H341 , and out of the hand H4480 H3709 of Saul H7586 :
|
|
2. and he saith: `Jehovah is my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
|
2. And he said H559 , The LORD H3068 is my rock H5553 , and my fortress H4686 , and my deliverer H6403 ;
|
|
3. 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!
|
3. The God H430 of my rock H6697 ; in him will I trust H2620 : he is my shield H4043 , and the horn H7161 of my salvation H3468 , my high tower H4869 , and my refuge H4498 , my savior H3467 ; thou savest H3467 me from violence H4480 H2555 .
|
|
4. The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
|
4. I will call on H7121 the LORD H3068 , who is worthy to be praised H1984 : so shall I be saved H3467 from mine enemies H4480 H341 .
|
|
5. When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
|
5. When H3588 the waves H4867 of death H4194 compassed H661 me , the floods H5158 of ungodly H1100 men made me afraid H1204 ;
|
|
6. The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death.
|
6. The sorrows H2256 of hell H7585 compassed me about H5437 ; the snares H4170 of death H4194 prevented H6923 me;
|
|
7. 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,
|
7. In my distress H6862 I called upon H7121 the LORD H3068 , and cried H7121 to H413 my God H430 : and he did hear H8085 my voice H6963 out of his temple H4480 H1964 , and my cry H7775 did enter into his ears H241 .
|
|
8. And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!
|
8. Then the earth H776 shook H1607 and trembled H7493 ; the foundations H4146 of heaven H8064 moved H7264 and shook H1607 , because H3588 he was wroth H2734 .
|
|
9. Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.
|
9. There went up H5927 a smoke H6227 out of his nostrils H639 , and fire H784 out of his mouth H4480 H6310 devoured H398 : coals H1513 were kindled H1197 by H4480 it.
|
|
10. And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness is under His feet.
|
10. He bowed H5186 the heavens H8064 also , and came down H3381 ; and darkness H6205 was under H8478 his feet H7272 .
|
|
11. And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
|
11. And he rode H7392 upon H5921 a cherub H3742 , and did fly H5774 : and he was seen H7200 upon H5921 the wings H3671 of the wind H7307 .
|
|
12. And He setteth darkness Round about Him -- tabernacles, Darkness of waters -- thick clouds of the skies.
|
12. And he made H7896 darkness H2822 pavilions H5521 round about H5439 him, dark H2841 waters H4325 , and thick clouds H5645 of the skies H7834 .
|
|
13. From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!
|
13. Through the brightness H4480 H5051 before H5048 him were coals H1513 of fire H784 kindled H1197 .
|
|
14. Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.
|
14. The LORD H3068 thundered H7481 from H4480 heaven H8064 , and the most High H5945 uttered H5414 his voice H6963 .
|
|
15. And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;
|
15. And he sent out H7971 arrows H2671 , and scattered H6327 them; lightning H1300 , and discomfited H2000 them.
|
|
16. 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.
|
16. And the channels H650 of the sea H3220 appeared H7200 , the foundations H4146 of the world H8398 were discovered H1540 , at the rebuking H1606 of the LORD H3068 , at the blast H4480 H5397 of the breath H7307 of his nostrils H639 .
|
|
17. He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
|
17. He sent H7971 from above H4480 H4791 , he took H3947 me ; he drew H4871 me out of many waters H4480 H4325 H7227 ;
|
|
18. He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.
|
18. He delivered H5337 me from my strong enemy H4480 H341 H5794 , and from them that hated H4480 H8130 me: for H3588 they were too strong H553 for H4480 me.
|
|
19. They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,
|
19. They prevented H6923 me in the day H3117 of my calamity H343 : but the LORD H3068 was H1961 my stay H4937 .
|
|
20. And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.
|
20. He brought me forth H3318 also into a large place H4800 H853 : he delivered H2502 me, because H3588 he delighted H2654 in me.
|
|
21. Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
|
21. The LORD H3068 rewarded H1580 me according to my righteousness H6666 : according to the cleanness H1252 of my hands H3027 hath he recompensed H7725 me.
|
|
22. For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
|
22. For H3588 I have kept H8104 the ways H1870 of the LORD H3068 , and have not H3808 wickedly H7561 departed from my God H4480 H430 .
|
|
23. For all His judgments are before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.
|
23. For H3588 all H3605 his judgments H4941 were before H5048 me : and as for his statutes H2708 , I did not H3808 depart H5493 from H4480 them.
|
|
24. And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
|
24. I was H1961 also upright H8549 before him and have kept myself H8104 from mine iniquity H4480 H5771 .
|
|
25. And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
|
25. Therefore the LORD H3068 hath recompensed H7725 me according to my righteousness H6666 ; according to my cleanness H1252 in H5048 his eye sight H5869 .
|
|
26. With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,
|
26. With H5973 the merciful H2623 thou wilt show thyself merciful H2616 , and with H5973 the upright H8549 man H1368 thou wilt show thyself upright H8552 .
|
|
27. With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.
|
27. With H5973 the pure H2889 thou wilt show thyself pure H1305 ; and with H5973 the froward H6141 thou wilt show thyself unsavory H6617 .
|
|
28. And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.
|
28. And the afflicted H6041 people H5971 thou wilt save H3467 : but thine eyes H5869 are upon H5921 the haughty H7311 , that thou mayest bring them down H8213 .
|
|
29. For Thou art my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.
|
29. For H3588 thou H859 art my lamp H5216 , O LORD H3068 : and the LORD H3068 will lighten H5050 my darkness H2822 .
|
|
30. For by Thee I run -- a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
|
30. For H3588 by thee I have run H7323 through a troop H1416 : by my God H430 have I leaped H1801 over a wall H7791 .
|
|
31. God! Perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He is to all those trusting in Him.
|
31. As for God H410 , his way H1870 is perfect H8549 ; the word H565 of the LORD H3068 is tried H6884 : he H1931 is a buckler H4043 to all H3605 them that trust H2620 in him.
|
|
32. For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?
|
32. For H3588 who H4310 is God H410 , save H4480 H1107 the LORD H3068 ? and who H4310 is a rock H6697 , save H4480 H1107 our God H430 ?
|
|
33. God -- my bulwark, my strength, And He maketh perfect my way;
|
33. God H410 is my strength H4581 and power H2428 : and he maketh H5425 my way H1870 perfect H8549 .
|
|
34. Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,
|
34. He maketh H7737 my feet H7272 like hinds H355 ' feet : and setteth H5975 me upon H5921 my high places H1116 .
|
|
35. Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,
|
35. He teacheth H3925 my hands H3027 to war H4421 ; so that a bow H7198 of steel H5154 is broken H5181 by mine arms H2220 .
|
|
36. And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
|
36. Thou hast also given H5414 me the shield H4043 of thy salvation H3468 : and thy gentleness H6038 hath made me great H7235 .
|
|
37. Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
|
37. Thou hast enlarged H7337 my steps H6806 under H8478 me ; so that my feet H7166 did not H3808 slip H4571 .
|
|
38. I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed.
|
38. I have pursued H7291 mine enemies H341 , and destroyed H8045 them ; and turned not again H3808 H7725 until H5704 I had consumed H3615 them.
|
|
39. And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.
|
39. And I have consumed H3615 them , and wounded H4272 them , that they could not H3808 arise H6965 : yea , they are fallen H5307 under H8478 my feet H7272 .
|
|
40. And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.
|
40. For thou hast girded H247 me with strength H2428 to battle H4421 : them that rose up H6965 against me hast thou subdued H3766 under H8478 me.
|
|
41. And mine enemies -- Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me -- and I cut them off.
|
41. Thou hast also given H5414 me the necks H6203 of mine enemies H341 , that I might destroy H6789 them that hate H8130 me.
|
|
42. They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.
|
42. They looked H8159 , but there was none H369 to save H3467 ; even unto H413 the LORD H3068 , but he answered H6030 them not H3808 .
|
|
43. And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small -- I spread them out!
|
43. Then did I beat H7833 them as small as the dust H6083 of the earth H776 , I did stamp H1854 them as the mire H2916 of the street H2351 , and did spread them abroad H7554 .
|
|
44. 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.
|
44. Thou also hast delivered H6403 me from the strivings H4480 H7379 of my people H5971 , thou hast kept H8104 me to be head H7218 of the heathen H1471 : a people H5971 which I knew H3045 not H3808 shall serve H5647 me.
|
|
45. Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.
|
45. Strangers H1121 H5236 shall submit themselves H3584 unto me : as soon as they hear H8085 H241 , they shall be obedient H8085 unto me.
|
|
46. Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
|
46. Strangers H1121 H5236 shall fade away H5034 , and they shall be afraid H2296 out of their close places H4480 H4526 .
|
|
47. Jehovah liveth, and blessed is my Rock, And exalted is my God -- The Rock of my salvation.
|
47. The LORD H3068 liveth H2416 ; and blessed H1288 be my rock H6697 ; and exalted H7311 be the God H430 of the rock H6697 of my salvation H3468 .
|
|
48. God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
|
48. It is God H410 that avengeth H5414 H5360 me , and that bringeth down H8213 the people H5971 under H8478 me,
|
|
49. And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.
|
49. And that bringeth me forth H3318 from mine enemies H4480 H341 : thou also hast lifted me up on high H7311 above them that rose up H4480 H6965 against me : thou hast delivered H5337 me from the violent man H4480 H376 H2555 .
|
|
50. Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.
|
50. Therefore H5921 H3651 I will give thanks H3034 unto thee , O LORD H3068 , among the heathen H1471 , and I will sing praises H2167 unto thy name H8034 .
|
|
51. Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!`
|
51. He is the tower H4024 of salvation H3444 for his king H4428 : and showeth H6213 mercy H2617 to his anointed H4899 , unto David H1732 , and to his seed H2233 forevermore H5704 H5769 .
