I will love thee, O Yahweh my strength! 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. The meshes of death encompassed me, The torrents of perdition, made me afraid; read more.
The meshes of hades, had surrounded me, The snares of death, had confronted me, 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. There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it: Then he stretched out the heaven, and came down, - and, thick gloom, was under his feet; Then he rode on a cherub, and flew, and darted on the wings of the wind; Made darkness his hiding-place, Round about him - his pavilion, Darkness of waters, clouds of vapours. Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire. Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice, - hail, and live coals of fire. And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them, yea, lightnings, he shot out, and confused them. 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 sent from on high, he took me, - he drew me out of many waters. 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: And brought me out, into a large place, he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
