## David's Song of Deliverance
|
|
|
|
###### 1
|
|
And David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
|
|
|
|
###### 2
|
|
He said, "Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
|
|
|
|
###### 3
|
|
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence.
|
|
|
|
###### 4
|
|
I call upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.
|
|
|
|
###### 5
|
|
For the waves of death encompassed me; The torrents of vileness terrorized me;
|
|
|
|
###### 6
|
|
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
|
|
|
|
###### 7
|
|
In my distress I called upon Yahweh, And I called to my God; And out of His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help _came_ into His ears.
|
|
|
|
###### 8
|
|
Then the earth shook and quaked; The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
|
|
|
|
###### 9
|
|
Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.
|
|
|
|
###### 10
|
|
He bowed the heavens and came down With thick darkness under His feet.
|
|
|
|
###### 11
|
|
He rode on a cherub and flew; And He appeared upon the wings of the wind.
|
|
|
|
###### 12
|
|
And He made darkness canopies around Him, A mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
|
|
|
|
###### 13
|
|
From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled.
|
|
|
|
###### 14
|
|
Yahweh thundered from heaven, And the Most High gave forth His voice.
|
|
|
|
###### 15
|
|
And He sent out arrows, and scattered them, Lightning, and threw them into confusion.
|
|
|
|
###### 16
|
|
Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare By the rebuke of Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
|
|
|
|
###### 17
|
|
He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
|
|
|
|
###### 18
|
|
He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
|
|
|
|
###### 19
|
|
They confronted me in the day of my disaster, But Yahweh was my support.
|
|
|
|
###### 20
|
|
He brought me forth also into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
|
|
|
|
###### 21
|
|
Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
|
|
|
|
###### 22
|
|
For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
|
|
|
|
###### 23
|
|
For all His judgments were before me, And _as for_ His statutes, I did not depart from them.
|
|
|
|
###### 24
|
|
I was also blameless toward Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.
|
|
|
|
###### 25
|
|
Therefore Yahweh has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
|
|
|
|
###### 26
|
|
With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
|
|
|
|
###### 27
|
|
With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
|
|
|
|
###### 28
|
|
And You save an afflicted people; But Your eyes are on the haughty _whom_ You bring down.
|
|
|
|
###### 29
|
|
For You are my lamp, O Yahweh; And Yahweh illumines my darkness.
|
|
|
|
###### 30
|
|
For by You I can run upon a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.
|
|
|
|
###### 31
|
|
As for God, His way is blameless; The word of Yahweh is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
|
|
|
|
###### 32
|
|
For who is God, but Yahweh? And who is a rock, but our God?
|
|
|
|
###### 33
|
|
God is my strong fortress; And He sets the blameless in His way.
|
|
|
|
###### 34
|
|
He makes my feet like hinds' _feet_, And sets me on my high places.
|
|
|
|
###### 35
|
|
He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
|
|
|
|
###### 36
|
|
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your answer _to me_ makes me great.
|
|
|
|
###### 37
|
|
You enlarge my steps under me, And my ankles have not given way.
|
|
|
|
###### 38
|
|
I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
|
|
|
|
###### 39
|
|
And I have consumed them and crushed them, so that they did not rise; And they fell under my feet.
|
|
|
|
###### 40
|
|
For You have girded me with strength for battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
|
|
|
|
###### 41
|
|
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, And I destroyed those who hated me.
|
|
|
|
###### 42
|
|
They looked, but there was none to save; _Even_ to Yahweh, but He did not answer them.
|
|
|
|
###### 43
|
|
Then I beat them fine as the dust of the earth; I pulverized _and_ stamped them as the mire of the streets.
|
|
|
|
###### 44
|
|
You have also delivered me from the contentions of my people; You have kept me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.
|
|
|
|
###### 45
|
|
Foreigners cower before me; As soon as they hear, they obey me.
|
|
|
|
###### 46
|
|
Foreigners fade away, And come trembling out of their fortresses.
|
|
|
|
###### 47
|
|
Yahweh lives, and blessed be my rock; And let God, the rock of my salvation, be lifted high
|
|
|
|
###### 48
|
|
The God who executes vengeance for me, And brings down peoples under me,
|
|
|
|
###### 49
|
|
Who also brings me out from my enemies; You even lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man.
|
|
|
|
###### 50
|
|
Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name.
|
|
|
|
###### 51
|
|
_He_ gives great salvation to His king, And shows lovingkindness to His anointed, To David and his seed forever."
