Yahweh, was my mountain crag and my stronghold, and my deliverer: My GOD, was my rock, I sought refuge in him, My shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.

And brought me out, into a large place, he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, he repaid me;

For I had kept the ways of Yahweh, and not broken away from my God;

With the loving, thou didst show thyself loving, - With the blameless man, thou didst show thyself blameless;

So became I blameless with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

The GOD who girded me with strength, and set forth, as blameless, my way:

For, thou, didst light up my lamp, Yahweh my God, enlightened my darkness;

For, by thee, I ran through a troop, and, by my God, I leapt over a wall.

For who is a GOD, save Yahweh? And who is a Rock, save our God?

For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;

Thus didst thou grant me, as a shield, thy salvation, - and, thy right hand, sustained me, and, thy condescension, made me great.

Planting my feet like hinds' feet , yea, on my high places, he caused me to stand:

Thus didst thou gird me with strength, for the battle, Thou subduedst mine assailants under me.

For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:

I will love thee, O Yahweh my strength!

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.

Yahweh therefore repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the pureness of my hands, before his eyes.

In my distress, called I on Yahweh, And, unto my God, made outcry for help, He heard, out of his temple, my voice, And my outcry for help came before him - entered into his ears!

Then did the earth shake and quake, Even, the foundations of the mountains, were deeply moved, Yea they did shake, because he was angry.

The meshes of death encompassed me, The torrents of perdition, made me afraid;

For this cause, will I praise thee among the nations, O Yahweh, and, to thy Name, will I sweep the strings: -

He sent from on high, he took me, - he drew me out of many waters.

Teaching my hands to war, - so that a bow of bronze was bent by mine arms.

Then he rode on a cherub, and flew, and darted on the wings of the wind;

The meshes of hades, had surrounded me, The snares of death, had confronted me,

With the pure, thou didst show thyself pure, But, with the perverse, thou didst show thyself ready to contend.

Made darkness his hiding-place, Round about him - his pavilion, Darkness of waters, clouds of vapours.

Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice, - hail, and live coals of fire.

Thus didst thou rescue me from the contentions of a people, - didst appoint me to be the head of nations, A people I had not known, served me:

I pursued my foes, and overtook them, and returned not, till they were consumed:

Then he stretched out the heaven, and came down, - and, thick gloom, was under his feet;

I crushed them, and they were unable to rise, They fell under my feet.

There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

Thou didst widen my stepping-places under me, so that, mine ankles, faltered not.

Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire.

As for my foes, thou didst give me their neck, and, as for them who hated me, I destroyed them.

And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them, yea, lightnings, he shot out, and confused them.

Yahweh liveth and, blessed, be my Rock, yea, exalted, be the God of my salvation:

Then appeared the channels of waters, were uncovered the foundations of the world, - At thy rebuke O Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:

They confronted me, in the day of my necessity, Then became Yahweh my stay:

The GOD, who hath avenged me, - and subjugated peoples under me:

Who hath delivered me from my foes, - Yea, from mine assailants, hast thou set me on high, From the man of violence, hast thou rescued me.

At the hearing of the ear, they submitted to me, the sons of the foreigner, came cringing unto me:

They cried out, but there was none to save, unto Yahweh, but he answered them not.

The sons of the foreigner, lost heart, and came quaking out of their fortresses.

Then did I beat them in pieces, like dust on the face of the wind. Like the mire in the lanes, did I scatter them.
