- 1I love you, Yahweh, my strength.
- 2Yahweh 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.
- 3I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; And I am saved from my enemies.
- 4The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
- 5The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came on me.
- 6In 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.
- 7Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, Because he was angry.
- 8Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
- 9He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
- 10He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
- 11He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion around him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
- 12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire.
- 13Yahweh also thundered in the sky, The Most High uttered his voice: Hailstones and coals of fire.
- 14He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.

- 15Then 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.
- 16He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
- 17He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
- 18They came on me in the day of my calamity, But Yahweh was my support.

- 19He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
- 20Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
- 21For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
- 22For all his ordinances were before me. I didn't put away his statutes from me.
- 23I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
- 24Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

- 25With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
- 26With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
- 27For you will save the afflicted people, But the haughty eyes you will bring down.
- 28For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.
- 29For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
- 30As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
- 31For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,
- 32The God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
- 33He makes my feet like deer's feet, And sets me on my high places.

- 36You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
- 37I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.
- 38I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
- 39For you have girded me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
- 40You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, That I might cut off those who hate me.
- 41They cried, but there was none to save; Even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them.
- 42Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of 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 foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
- 45The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.
- 46Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
- 47Even the God who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me.
- 48He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
- 49Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, And will sing praises to your name.
- 50He gives great deliverance to his king, And shows loving kindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, forevermore.
