And he spoke David 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.
2 He prayed, “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, the one who rescues me.
And he said Yahweh [is] rock my and stronghold my and deliverer my to me.
3 God is my rock. I take refuge in him. He is my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, and my refuge, the one who saves me from violence.
O God of rock my [whom] I take refuge in him shield my and [the] horn of salvation my refuge my and place of escape my O deliverer my from violence you deliver me.
4 I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, and I will be saved from my enemies.

When it was distress to me I called out to Yahweh and to God my I called out and he heard from temple his voice my and cry for help my [was] in ears his.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the heavens trembled and were shaken, because God was angry.
(And it shook back and forth *Q(K)*) and it quaked the earth [the] foundations of the heavens they trembled and they shook back and forth for it burned to him.
9 Smoke went up from out of his nostrils, and blazing fire came out of his mouth. Coals were ignited by it.

10 He opened the heavens and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.

21 Yahweh has rewarded me to the measure of my righteousness; he has restored me to the measure of the cleanness of my hands.

22 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh and have not acted wickedly by turning from my God.

And he repaid Yahweh to me according to righteousness my according to cleanness my to before eyes his.
26 To one who is faithful, you show yourself to be faithful; to a man who is blameless, you show yourself to be blameless.

34 He makes my feet swift like a deer and places me on the high hills.

And you rescued me from [the] strifes of people my you kept me to [the] head of [the] nations a people [whom] not I knew they served me.
45 Foreigners were forced to bow to me. As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
Sons of foreignness they cringed to me to hear an ear they became obedient to me.
46 The foreigners came trembling out of their strongholds.
Sons of foreignness they withered and they may girdethemselves from strongholds their.
47 Yahweh lives! May my rock be praised. May God be exalted, the rock of my salvation.
