He will incline the heavens and come down; And darkness under his feet

And he will ride upon a cherub and fly: And he will be seen upon the wings of the wind.

And he will set darkness round about him for booths, The gatherings of waters the darkness of clouds.

Jehovah will thunder from the heavens, And the Most High will give his voice.

He will send arrows and scatter them lightning, and put them in commotion.

The torrents of the sea will be seen, The foundations of the habitable globe will be uncovered, In the rebuke of Jehovah, from the breath of the spirit of his anger.

He will send from height, he will take me; He will draw me out of many waters:

He will deliver me from my strong enemy, From them hating me, for they were strong above me.

They will anticipate me in the day of misfortune, And Jehovah will be a support to me:

And he will bring me forth to a wide place; He will deliver me for he delighted in me.

Jehovah will recompense me according to my justice: According to the cleanness of my hands he turned back to me.

For all his judgments before me, And his laws I will not depart from them.

And I will be blameless to him, and I shall be washed from mine iniquity.

Jehovah will turn back to me according to my justice: According to my cleanness before his eyes.

With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.

With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.

And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thy eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

With thy help I will run through a host of men, and by the aid of my God will spring over a wall.

The Strong One strengthening me with strength: And he will leave his way blameless.

Setting my feet as the hinds: And upon the heights will he cause me to stand.

And thou wilt give to me the shield of thy salvation, and thine answer will multiply me.

Thou wilt enlarge my steps under me, And my joints were not unsteady.

I will pursue mine enemies and destroy them I will not turn back even to finishing them.

And I will consume them and crush them, and they shall not be raised up.

Thou wilt fasten me together with strength for the war, Thou wilt subdue under me him rising up against me.

And the neck of mine enemies wilt thou give to me Those hating me, and I will cut them oft

They will look, and no saviour To Jehovah, and he answered them not

And I will beat them as small as the dust of the earth, and will stamp them as the dirt of the street, and will spread them abroad.

You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.

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

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

And bringing me out from mine enemies lifting me up from them rising up against me: From the man of violence thou wilt deliver me.

Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to thy name.

And as the light of the morning the sun will rise: the morning not dense; from the shining of the rain bringing forth herbage from the earth.

Yet not so [is] my house with God, for he made an everlasting covenant for me, arranging everything. He has secured all my deliverance, and all my desire he will cause to happen.

And Belial as the thorn thrusting out are all they, for they will not be taken by the hand.

The man who touches them
must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear.
They will be completely burned up on the spot.

And after him Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, among the three mighty with David in their upbraiding the rovers; they were gathered together there to war, and the men of Israel will go up.

He arose, and he will strike against the rovers till that his hand will be weary, and his hand will cleave to the sword: and Jehovah will do a great salvation in that day; and they sat down behind him only to strip off.

And after him, Shammah, son of Aga the Hararite. And the rovers will be gathered together to live; and there will be there a portion of the field full of lentiles: and the people fled from the face of the rovers.

And he will stand in the midst of the portion, and he will take it away, and he will strike the rovers: and Jehovah will do a great salvation.

And three of the thirty heads will go down and come to the harvest, to David, to the cave of Adullam: and the wild beasts, the rovers, encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

And David longed, and said, - Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

And the three mighty will break forth through the camp of the rovers, and draw waters from the well of the House of Bread, which is in the gate, and they will lift up and bring to David: and he would not drink them, and he will pour them out to Jehovah.

and said, "O Lord, I will not do this! It is equivalent to the blood of the men who risked their lives by going." So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three elite warriors.

Above the three was he not honored? and he will be to them for chief: and he came not even to the three.

And he struck a man, an Egyptian, who was seeing; and in the hand of the Egyptian a spear; and he went down to him with a rod, and he will pluck the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and kill him with his spear.

He was honored above the thirty, and to the three he came not. And David will set him to his audience.

And the anger of Jehovah will add to kindle against Israel, and he stimulated David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.

And the king will say to Joab, chief of the army which was with him, Go now, up and down through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan and even to the Well of the Oath, and review ye the people, and I shall know the number of the people.

And Joab will say to the king, Jehovah thy God will add to the people as they and as they a hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king seeing: and my lord the king, wherefore delights he in this word?

And the king's word will be strong to Joab and to the chiefs of his army. And Joab went forth and the chiefs of his army before the king to review the people Israel.

And they will pass over Jordan, and they will encamp in Aroer, the right hand of the city which is in the midst of the torrent of Gad, and towards Jazer:

And they will come to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim-Hodshi; and they will come to Dan-Jaan, and round about to Zidon.

And they will come to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and they will go forth to the south of Judah to the Well of the Oath.

And they will turn aside through all the land, and they will come from the end of nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem.

And Joab will give the number of the reviewing of the people to the king: and there will be of Israel eight hundred thousand men of strength drawing sword; and the men of Judah, five hundred thousand men.

And the heart of David will strike him after he thus reviewed the people. And David will say to Jehovah, I sinned greatly in what I did: and now, O Jehovah, now pass by the iniquity of thy servant, for I was very foolish.

And David will rise in the morning, and the word of Jehovah was to Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,

"Go and speak to David, 'Thus says Yahweh, three things I [am] laying on you; choose for yourself one of them and I will do it to you.'"

So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come upon thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now consider, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

And David will say to Gad, Straits to me exceedingly: now we will fall into the hand of Jehovah, for many his compassions; and into the hand of man I will not fall.

And Jehovah will give death in Israel from the morning and even to the time of the appointment; and from the people will die from Dan and even to the Well of the Oath, seventy thousand men.

And the messenger will stretch forth his hand to destroy Jerusalem, and Jehovah will lament for the evil, and he will say to the messenger destroying among the people, Much now: let go thy hand. And the messenger of Jehovah was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

And David will say to Jehovah, in his seeing the messenger smiting the people, and he will say, Behold, I sinned and acted perversely; and these sheep, what did they? Now shall thy hand be upon me and upon my father's house.

And Gad will come to David in that day and say to him, Go up, raise up an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

And David will go up, according to the word of Gad, as Jehovah commanded.

And Araunah will look forth and see the king and his servants passing over to him: and Araunah will go forth and worship to the king, his face to the earth.

And Araunah will say, Wherefore came my lord the king to his servant? and David will say, To buy from thee the threshing-floor to build an altar to Jehovah, and the slaughter shall be withheld from above the people.

And Araunah will say to David, My lord the king shall take and bring up the good in his eyes: see, the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-rollers, and the instruments of the oxen for wood.

And Araunah gave all to the king for the king. And Araunah will say to the king, Jehovah thy God will take pleasure in thee.

And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt-offerings to the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

And David will build there an altar to Jehovah, and he will bring up burnt-offerings and peace. And Jehovah will be entreated for the land, and the slaughter will be withheld from Israel.
