To the choirmaster - of [the] servant of Yahweh of David who he spoke - to Yahweh [the] words of the song this on [the] day [when] he delivered Yahweh him from [the] hand of all enemies his and from [the] hand of Saul. And he said I love you O Yahweh strength my.
2 Jehovah is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Yahweh - [is] rock my and stronghold my and deliverer my God my [is] rock my [whom] I take refuge in him shield my and [the] horn of salvation my refuge my.
3 I call on Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
[the one] to be praised I call out to Yahweh and from enemies my I am delivered.
4 The waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
They encompassed me [the] cords of death and [the] torrents of worthlessness they overwhelmed me.
[the] cords of Sheol they surrounded me they confronted me [the] snares of death. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
When it was distress to me - I called out to Yahweh and to God my I cried for help he heard from temple his voice my and cry for help my before him - it came in ears his.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
And it shook and it quaked - the earth and [the] foundations of [the] mountains they trembled and they shook back and forth for it burned to him.
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
It went up smoke - in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
And he bent down [the] heavens and he came down and thick darkness [was] under feet his.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
And he rode on a cherub and he flew and he soared on [the] wings of [the] wind.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
He made darkness - covering his around him canopy his darkness of waters dark clouds of clouds.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.

13 Jehovah also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice.
And he thundered in the heavens - Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave forth voice his hail and coals of fire.
14 And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.

15 And the depths of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
And they appeared - channels of water and they were uncovered [the] foundations of [the] world from rebuke your O Yahweh from [the] breath of [the] breath of nostril[s] your.
16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20 Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
He has dealt with me Yahweh according to righteousness my according to [the] cleanness of hands my he has repaid to me.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For I have kept [the] ways of Yahweh and not I have acted wickedly from God my.
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
For all judgments his [have been] to before me and statutes his not I have turned aside from me.
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
And I have been blameless with him and I have kept myself from iniquity my.
24 Therefore Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25 With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
With a faithful [person] you show yourself faithful with a man blameless you show yourself blameless.
26 With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
With [one who] purifies himself you show yourself pure and with a perverse [person] you show yourself twisted.
27 For you will save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
For you a people afflicted you save and eyes uplifted you bring low.
28 For you light my lamp. Jehovah my God lights up my darkness.
For you you light lamp my Yahweh God my he lightens darkness my.
29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
For by you I run a marauding band and by God my I leap over a wall.

For who? [is] God except Yahweh and who? [is] a rock except God our.
32 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
God [is] the [one who] has girded me strength and he has made blameless way my.
33 He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.
[he has] made Feet my like does and on high places my he has made stand firm me.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
[he has] trained Hands my for battle and it will stretch a bow of bronze arms my.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
And you have given to me [the] shield of salvation your and right [hand] your it has supported me and humility your you have made great me.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
You have enlarged step[s] my under me and not they have slipped ankles my.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
I pursued enemies my and I overtook them and not I returned until destroyed them.
38 I struck them through, so that they did not rise. They fell beneath my feet.
I shattered them and not they were able [surely] to rise they fell under feet my.
39 For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
And you girded me strength for the battle you made bow down [those who] rose against me under me.
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
And enemies my you gave to me [the] neck and [those who] hated me I destroyed them.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.
They cried for help and there not [was] a deliverer to Yahweh and not he answered them.
42 Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
And I crushed them like dust on [the] face of [the] wind like [the] mud of [the] streets I poured out them.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
You delivered me from [the] strivings of a people you appointed me to [the] head of nations a people [which] not I knew they serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
To [the] hearing of an ear they become obedient to me sons of foreignness they cringe to me.
45 they are not bound in chains.
Sons of foreignness they wither and they may come trembling from strongholds their.
46 Jehovah lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
[is] living Yahweh and [be] blessed rock my and may he be exalted [the] God of salvation my.
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
God [is] the [one who] has given vengeance to me and he has subdued peoples under me.
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
[he has] delivered Me from enemies my also more than [those who] rose against me you have exalted me from a man of violence you have rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
There-fore - I will give thanks to you among the nations - O Yahweh and to name your I will sing praises.
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever.
([he is] making great *Q(k)*) [the] victories of King his and [he is] doing covenant loyalty - to anointed his to David and to offspring his until perpetuity.
