To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: — I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death. (Sheol h7585)

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.
7 Ụwa mere mkpọtụ, maa jijiji, ntọala niile nke ugwu niile makwara jijiji, ha mara jijiji nʼihi iwe nke na-ewe ya.
And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake — because He hath wrath.
8 Anwụrụ ọkụ sitere ya nʼimi pụta, ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa sikwa nʼọnụ ya pụta; icheku ọkụ na-ere ọkụ sitekwara nʼebe ahụ nwupụta.
Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
13 Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe bigbọọ; olu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu dara ụda.
And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
14 Ọ gbara àkụ ya, mee ka ndị iro gbasasịa, o jikwa oke amụma nke egbe eluigwe chụsaa ha.
And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.

For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.

They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.

And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.

At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
45 Obi na-ada ha mba; ha na-ama jijiji mgbe ha na-esite nʼebe niile ha e wusiri ike na-apụta.
Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
46 Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ! Otuto dịrị oke nkume m! Mbuli elu dịrị Chineke, Onye nzọpụta m.
Jehovah liveth — and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.

God — who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,
48 onye na-anapụta m site nʼaka ndị iro m. I mere ka m dị elu karịa ndị iro, napụtakwa m site nʼaka nwoke na-eme ihe ike.
My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.
49 Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị, aga m eto gị nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche, aga m abụku aha gị abụ otuto.
Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,

Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!
