1I love You, O Jehovah, my strength. 2Jehovah is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my Mighty God, my rock wall, in whom I will trust; He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be delivered from my enemies. 4The cords of death have surrounded me, and the floods of the wicked made me afraid. 5The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death have confronted me. 6In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears. 7Then the earth shook and trembled; and the foundations of the hills quaked and were shaken, because He was angry. 8Smoke went up out of His nostrils, and fire devoured out of His mouth; coals were kindled by it. 9He also bowed the heavens and came down, and darkness was under His feet. 10And He rode upon a cherub, and soared; yea, He flew swiftly upon the wings of the wind. 11He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion around Him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12From the brightness before Him, His dark clouds passed over with hailstones and coals of fire. 13Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave forth His voice, hailstones and coals of fire. 14Yea, He sent out His arrows and scattered them; and He shot out lightnings and confounded them. 15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at Your rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. 16He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters. 17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me; for they were too strong for me. 18They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but Jehovah was my support. 19He brought me forth also into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me. 20Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has given back to me. 21For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 22For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His Statutes from me. 23I was also perfect before Him, and I kept myself from my iniquity. 24Therefore Jehovah has given back to me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes. 25With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; with a perfect man You will show Yourself perfect; 26with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the crooked You will show Yourself twisted. 27For You will save the lowly people, but will bring down lofty looks. 28For You will light my lamp; Jehovah my God will cause my darkness to shine. 29For by You I run against a troop; and by my God I leap over a wall. 30As for the Mighty God, His way is perfect; the Word of Jehovah is tested; He is a shield to all those who trust in Him. 31For who is God besides Jehovah? Or, who is a Rock except our God? 32It is the Mighty God who clasps me with strength and makes my way perfect. 33He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places. 34He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of bronze is stretched by my arms. 35You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your right hand has held me up, and Your meekness has made me great. 36You enlarged the place for my steps under me, so that my feet have not slipped. 37I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; nor did I turn back until they were destroyed. 38I have shattered them, and they cannot rise again; they have fallen under my feet. 39For You have clasped me with strength for the battle; You bowed down under me those who rose up against me. 40You have also given me the necks of my enemies; so that I annihilated those who hated me. 41They cried out for help, but there was no one to deliver; even to Jehovah, but He did not answer them. 42Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like the dirt in the streets. 43You 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. 44As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me; the children of foreigners shall cower before me. 45The children of foreigners shall fall down and come trembling out of their holes. 46Jehovah lives! Blessed be my rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted! 47It is the Mighty God who avenges me, and puts the people to flight. 48He delivers me from my enemies; yea, You lift me up above those who rise up against me; You have delivered me from the violent man. 49Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Jehovah, among the nations, and make music unto Your name, 50who gives great deliverance to His king, and deals mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed forevermore.
