After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.

[This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.

Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.

I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
7 Ahin “Kagenthei pet’in Pakai henga ka taovin. Ka-Pathen koma chun kataovin ahi. Pathen houin a aman kataona asang jin, hichea chun anabenga kataona alut ji'e.
But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
8 Hichun leiset akinuh nuh jin ling akihot tan ahi; Van todap khompi jouse jong akiling soh hel jenge; Pathen alung han jeh chun lingpi ahin hot jengin ahi.
“Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.

[It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.

Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
14 Pakaiyin van'a konin van akithinsah jin Hatchungnungpen chun o-thongin thu aseiye.
Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
15 Aman thalpi ahinkap doh jin adoudal te athe cheh ji'e. Kol a phen a kithe jal lah lah jenge.
When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.

Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
17 Van chungsang langa konin aman eihin huhdoh jin jin, Twipi kinong a konin eiladoh ji'e.
“Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.

You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.

“Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
22 Ajeh chu keiman Pakai lamlhah na jouse kajui jingin, agilou bol’in ka Pathenchu kada lha khapoi.
Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.

So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.

With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
