After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
2 ヱホバはわが巌わが要害我を救ふ者
[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.

I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
5 死の波涛われを繞み邪曲なる者の河われをおそれしむ
“almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
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 われ艱難のうちにヱホバをよびまたわが神に龥れりヱホバ其殿よりわが聲をききたまひわが喊呼其耳にいりぬ
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 爰に地震ひ撼き天の基動き震へりそは彼怒りたまへばなり
“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.
