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 Jehova nĩwe rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga, na rũirigo rwakwa rwa hinya, na mũkũũri wakwa; Mũrungu wakwa nĩwe rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga, o we rĩũrĩro rĩakwa. Nĩwe ngo yakwa, na rũhĩa rwa ũhonokio wakwa, o na kĩĩhitho gĩakwa kĩrũmu.

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.

And he thundered in the heavens - Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave forth voice his hail and coals of fire.
