| [1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764], A Psalm of DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, who spakeH1696[H8765] unto the LORDH3068 the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337[H8689] him from the handH3709 of all his enemiesH341[H8802], and from the handH3027 of SaulH7586: And he saidH559[H8799], I will loveH7355[H8799] thee, O LORDH3068, my strengthH2391. |
[1]I will love thee dearly, O Lord my strength. |
| [2]The LORDH3068 is my rockH5553, and my fortressH4686, and my delivererH6403[H8764]; my GodH410, my strengthH6697, in whom I will trustH2620[H8799]; my bucklerH4043, and the hornH7161 of my salvationH3468, and my high towerH4869. |
[2]The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and he that delivereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge. |
| [3]I will callH7121[H8799] upon the LORDH3068, who is worthy to be praisedH1984[H8794]: so shall I be savedH3467[H8735] from mine enemiesH341.[H8802] |
[3]I will call upon the Lord, which is worthy to be praised: so shall I be safe from mine enemies. |
| [4]The sorrowsH2256 of deathH4194 compassedH661[H8804] me, and the floodsH5158 of ungodly menH1100 made me afraidH1204.[H8762] |
[4]The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of wickedness made me afraid. |
| [5]The sorrowsH2256 of hellH7585 compassed me aboutH5437[H8804]: the snaresH4170 of deathH4194 preventedH6923 meH8765. |
[5]The sorrows of the grave have compassed me about: the snares of death overtook me. |
| [6]In my distressH6862 I calledH7121[H8799] upon the LORDH3068, and criedH7768[H8762] unto my GodH430: he heardH8085[H8799] my voiceH6963 out of his templeH1964, and my cryH7775 cameH935[H8799] beforeH6440 him, even into his earsH241. |
[6]But in my trouble did I call upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry did come before him, even into his ears. |
| [7]Then the earthH776 shookH1607[H8799] and trembledH7493[H8799]; the foundationsH4146 also of the hillsH2022 movedH7264[H8799] and were shakenH1607[H8691], because he was wrothH2734.[H8804] |
[7]Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountains moved and shook, because he was angry. |
| [8]There went upH5927[H8804] a smokeH6227 out of his nostrilsH639, and fireH784 out of his mouthH6310 devouredH398[H8799]: coalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by itH8804. |
[8]Smoke went out at his nostrils, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coals were kindled there at. |
| [9]He bowedH5186[H8799] the heavensH8064 also, and came downH3381[H8799]: and darknessH6205 was under his feetH7272. |
[9]He bowed the heavens also and came down, and darkness was under his feet. |
| [10]And he rodeH7392[H8799] upon a cherubH3742, and did flyH5774[H8799]: yea, he did flyH1675[H8799] upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307. |
[10]And he rode upon cherub and did fly, and he came flying upon the wings of the wind. |
| [11]He madeH7896[H8799] darknessH2822 his secret placeH5643; his pavilionH5521 round aboutH5439 him were darkH2824 watersH4325 and thick cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834. |
[11]He made darkness his secret place, and his pavilion round about him, even darkness of waters, and clouds of the air. |
| [12]At the brightnessH5051 that was before him his thick cloudsH5645 passedH5674[H8804], hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784. |
[12]At the brightness of his presence his clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire. |
| [13]The LORDH3068 also thunderedH7481[H8686] in the heavensH8064, and the HighestH5945 gaveH5414[H8799] his voiceH6963; hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784. |
[13]The Lord also thundered in the heaven, and the Highest gave his voice, hailstones and coals of fire. |
| [14]Yea, he sent outH7971[H8799] his arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327[H8686] them; and he shot outH7232[H8804] lightningsH1300, and discomfitedH2000 themH8799. |
[14]Then he sent out his arrows and scattered them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them. |
| [15]Then the channelsH650 of watersH4325 were seenH7200[H8735], and the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were discoveredH1540[H8735] at thy rebukeH1606, O LORDH3068, at the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of thy nostrilsH639. |
[15]And the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrils. |
| [16]He sentH7971[H8799] from aboveH4791, he tookH3947[H8799] me, he drewH4871[H8686] me out of manyH7227 watersH4325. |
[16]He hath sent down from above and taken me: he hath drawn me out of many waters. |
| [17]He deliveredH5337[H8686] me from my strongH5794 enemyH341[H8802], and from them which hatedH8130[H8802] me: for they were too strongH553 for meH8804. |
[17]He hath delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me. |
| [18]They preventedH6923[H8762] me in the dayH3117 of my calamityH343: but the LORDH3068 was my stayH4937. |
[18]They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. |
| [19]He brought me forthH3318[H8686] also into a large placeH4800; he deliveredH2502[H8762] me, because he delightedH2654 in meH8804. |
[19]He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me because he favored me. |
| [20]The LORDH3068 rewardedH1580[H8799] me according to my righteousnessH6664; according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 meH8686. |
[20]The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the pureness of mine hands he recompensed me: |
| [21]For I have keptH8104[H8804] the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561[H8804] from my GodH430. |
[21]Because I kept the ways of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God. |
| [22]For all his judgmentsH4941 were before me, and I did not put awayH5493[H8686] his statutes from meH2708. |
[22]For all his Laws were before me, and I did not cast away his commandments from me. |
| [23]I was also uprightH8549 before him, and I keptH8104[H8691] myself from mine iniquityH5771. |
[23]I was upright also with him, and have kept me from my wickedness. |
| [24]Therefore hath the LORDH3068 recompensedH7725[H8686] me according to my righteousnessH6664, according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 in his eyesightH5869. |
[24]Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness, and according to the pureness of mine hands in his sight. |
| [25]With the mercifulH2623 thou wilt shew thyself mercifulH2616[H8691]; with an uprightH8549 manH1399 H8552thou wilt shew thyself uprightH8691 |
[25]With the godly thou wilt show thyself godly: with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. |
| [26]With the pureH1305[H8737] thou wilt shew thyself pureH1305[H8691]; and with the frowardH6141 thou wilt shew thyself frowardH6617.[H8691] |
[26]With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure, and with the froward thou wilt show thyself froward. |
| [27]For thou wilt saveH3467[H8686] the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971; but wilt bring downH8213[H8686] highH7311[H8802] looksH5869. |
[27]Thus thou wilt save the poor people, and wilt cast down the proud looks. |
| [28]For thou wilt lightH215[H8686] my candleH5216: the LORDH3068 my GodH430 will enlightenH5050[H8686] my darknessH2822. |
[28]Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will lighten my darkness. |
| [29]For by thee I have run throughH7323[H8799] a troopH1416; and by my GodH430 have I leaped overH1801[H8762] a wallH7791. |
[29]For by thee I have broken through an host, and by my God I have leaped over a wall. |
| [30]As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549: the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 is triedH6884[H8803]: he is a bucklerH4043 to all those that trustH2620 in himH8802. |
[30]The way of God is uncorrupt: the word of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him. |
| [31]For who is GodH433 saveH1107 the LORDH3068? or who is a rockH6697 saveH2108 our GodH430? |
[31]For who is God besides the Lord? And who is mighty save our God? |
| [32]It is GodH410 that girdethH247[H8764] me with strengthH2428, and makethH5414[H8799] my wayH1870 perfectH8549. |
[32]God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way upright. |
| [33]He makethH7737[H8764] my feetH7272 like hinds'H355 feet, and settethH5975[H8686] me upon my high placesH1116. |
[33]He maketh my feet like hinds feet, and setteth me upon mine high places. |
| [34]He teachethH3925[H8764] my handsH3027 to warH4421, so that a bowH7198 of steelH5154 is brokenH5181[H8765] by mine armsH2220. |
[34]He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bow of brass is broken with mine arms. |
| [35]Thou hast also givenH5414[H8799] me the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468: and thy right handH3225 hath holden me upH5582[H8799], and thy gentlenessH6037 hath made me greatH7235.[H8686] |
[35]Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy loving kindness hath caused me to increase. |
| [36]Thou hast enlargedH7337[H8686] my stepsH6806 under me, that my feetH7166 did not slipH4571.[H8804] |
[36]Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and mine heels have not slid. |
| [37]I have pursuedH7291[H8799] mine enemiesH341[H8802], and overtakenH5381[H8686] them: neither did I turn againH7725[H8799] till they were consumedH3615.[H8763] |
[37]I have pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and have not turned again till I had consumed them. |
| [38]I have woundedH4272[H8799] them that they were not ableH3201[H8799] to riseH6965[H8800]: they are fallenH5307[H8799] under my feetH7272. |
[38]I have wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. |
| [39]For thou hast girdedH247[H8762] me with strengthH2428 unto the battleH4421: thou hast subduedH3766[H8686] under me those that rose upH6965 against meH8801. |
[39]For thou hast girded me with strength to battle them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued under me. |
| [40]Thou hast also givenH5414[H8804] me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341[H8802]; that I might destroyH6789[H8686] them that hateH8130 meH8764. |
[40]And thou hast given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. |
| [41]They criedH7768[H8762], but there was none to saveH3467[H8688] them: even unto the LORDH3068, but he answeredH6030 them notH8804. |
[41]They cried but there was none to save them, even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. |
| [42]Then did I beatH7833[H8799] them small as the dustH6083 beforeH6440 the windH7307: I did cast them outH7324[H8686] as the dirtH2916 in the streetsH2351. |
[42]Then I did beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did tread them flat as the clay in the streets. |
| [43]Thou hast deliveredH6403[H8762] me from the strivingsH7379 of the peopleH5971; and thou hast madeH7760[H8799] me the headH7218 of the heathenH1471: a peopleH5971 whom I have not knownH3045[H8804] shall serveH5647 meH8799. |
[43]Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I have not known, shall serve me. |
| [44]As soon as they hearH8088[H241] of me, they shall obeyH8085[H8735] me: the strangersH1121[H5236] shall submitH3584 themselves unto meH8762. |
[44]As soon as they hear, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subjection to me. |
| [45]The strangersH1121[H5236] shall fade awayH5034[H8799], and be afraidH2727[H8799] out of their close placesH4526. |
[45]Strangers shall shrink away, and fear in their privy chambers. |
| [46]The LORDH3068 livethH2416; and blessedH1288[H8803] be my rockH6697; and let the GodH430 of my salvationH3468 be exaltedH7311.[H8799] |
[46]Let the Lord live, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my salvation be exalted. |
| [47]It is GodH410 that avengethH5414[H8802][H5360] me, and subduethH1696[H8686] the people under meH5971. |
[47]It is God that giveth me power to avenge me, and subdueth the people under me. |
| [48]He deliverethH6403[H8764] me from mine enemiesH341[H8802]: yea, thou liftest me upH7311[H8787] above those that rise upH6965[H8801] against me: thou hast deliveredH5337[H8686] me from the violentH2555 manH376. |
[48]O my deliverer from mine enemies, even thou hast set me up from them, that rose against me: thou hast delivered me from the cruel man. |
| [49]Therefore will I give thanksH3034[H8686] unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the heathenH1471, and sing praisesH2167[H8762] unto thy nameH8034. |
[49]Therefore I will praise thee, O Lord, among the nations, and will sing unto thy name. |
| [50]GreatH1431[H8688] deliveranceH3444 giveth he to his kingH4428; and shewethH6213[H8802] mercyH2617 to his anointedH4899, to DavidH1732, and to his seedH2233 forH5704 evermoreH5769. |
[50]Great deliverances giveth he unto his king, and showeth mercy to his anointed , even to David, and to his seed forever. |
