Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?

For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.

For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.

For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

For all his ordinances were before me. I didn't put away his statutes from me.

I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.

Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

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

He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.

The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.

With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, forevermore. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

They cried, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them.

The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
