The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of vileness terrified me.

The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

###### 24
|

###### 25
|
|
With the kind You show Yourself kind; With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
|
|
|
|
###### 26
|
|
With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
|

For who is God, but Yahweh? And who is a rock, except our God,

The God who girds me with strength And makes my way blameless?
|
|
|
|
###### 33
|

He makes my feet like hinds' _feet_, And sets me upon my high places.
|
|
|
|
###### 34
|
|
He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
|
|
|
|
###### 35

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great.

|
|
|

As soon as they hear, they obey me; Foreigners cower before me.

Yahweh lives, and blessed be my rock; And let the God of my salvation be lifted high,
|
|
|
|
###### 47
|

The God who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me.
|
|
|
|
