Dual Panel1David <01732> sang <01696> to the Lord <03068> the words <01697> of this <02063> song <07892> when <03117> the Lord <03068> rescued <05337> him <0853> from the power <03709> of all <03605> his enemies <0341>, including <03709> Saul <07586>.
2He said <0559>: “The Lord <03068> is my high ridge <05553>, my stronghold <04686>, my deliverer <06403>.
3My God <0430> is my rocky <06697> summit where I take shelter <02620>, my shield <04043>, the horn <07161> that saves <03468> me, my stronghold <04869>, my refuge <04498>, my savior <03467>. You save <03467> me from violence <02555>!
4I called <07121> to the Lord <03068>, who is worthy of praise <01984>, and I was delivered <03467> from my enemies <0341>.
5The waves <04867> of death <04194> engulfed <0661> me; the currents <05158> of chaos <01100> overwhelmed <01204> me.
6The ropes <02256> of Sheol <07585> tightened around <05437> me; the snares <04170> of death <04194> trapped <06923> me.
7In my distress <06862> I called <07121> to the Lord <03068>; I called <07121> to <0413> my God <0430>. From his heavenly temple <01964> he heard <08085> my voice <06963>; he listened to my cry for help <07775>.
8The earth <0776> heaved <01607> and shook <07493>; the foundations <04146> of the sky <08064> trembled <07264>. They heaved <01607> because <03588> he was angry <02734>.
9Smoke <06227> ascended <05927> from his nose <0639>; fire <0784> devoured <0398> as it came from <04480> his mouth <06310>; he hurled down <01197> fiery coals <01513>.
10He made the sky <08064> sink <05186> as he descended <03381>; a thick cloud <06205> was under <08478> his feet <07272>.
11He mounted <05921> <07392> a winged angel <03742> and flew <05774>; he glided <07200> on <05921> the wings <03671> of the wind <07307>.
12He shrouded <07896> himself in darkness <02822>, in thick <02841> rain <04325> clouds <05645>.
13From the brightness <05051> in front of <05048> him came <01197> coals <01513> of fire <0784>.
14The Lord <03069> thundered <07481> from <04480> the sky <08064>; the sovereign One <05945> shouted <05414> loudly <06963>.
15He shot <07971> arrows <02671> and scattered <06327> them, lightning <01300> and routed <02000> them.
16The depths <0650> of the sea <03220> were exposed <07200>; the inner regions <04146> of the world <08398> were uncovered <01540> by the Lord’s <03068> battle cry <01606>, by the powerful <05397> breath <07307> from his nose <0639>.
17He reached down <07971> from above <04791> and grabbed <03947> me; he pulled <04871> me from the surging <07227> water <04325>.
18He rescued me from my strong <05794> enemy <0341>, from those who hate <08130> me, for <03588> they were too <04480> strong <0553> for me.
19They confronted <06923> me in my day <03117> of calamity <0343>, but the Lord <03068> helped <04937> me.
20He brought <03318> me out <03318> into a wide open place <04800>; he delivered <02502> me because <03588> he was pleased <02654> with me.
21The Lord <03068> repaid <01580> me for my godly deeds <06666>; he rewarded <07725> my blameless <01252> behavior <03027>.
22For <03588> I have obeyed <08104> the Lord’s <03068> commands <01870>; I have not <03808> rebelled <07561> against my God <0430>.
23For <03588> I am aware <05048> of all <03605> his regulations <04941>, and I do not <03808> reject <05493> his rules <02708>.
24I was <01961> blameless <08549> before him; I kept <08104> myself from sinning <05771>.
25The Lord <03068> rewarded <07725> me for my godly deeds <06666>; he took notice <05869> <05048> of my blameless behavior <01252>.
26You <05973> prove to be loyal <02616> to one who is faithful <02623>; you prove to be trustworthy <08552> to one <01368> who is innocent <08549>.
27You prove to be reliable <01305> to one who is blameless <01305>, but you prove to be deceptive <06141> to one who is perverse <06617>.
28You deliver <03467> oppressed <06041> people <05971>, but you watch <05921> <05869> the proud <07311> and bring <08213> them down <08213>.
29Indeed <03588>, you <0859> are my lamp <05216>, Lord <03068>. The Lord <03068> illumines <05050> the darkness <02822> around me.
30Indeed,with <03588> your help I can charge against <07323> an army; by <01416> my God’s power <0430> I can jump over a <01801> wall <07791>.
31The one true God <0410> acts in a faithful <08549> manner <01870>; the Lord’s <03068> promise <0565> is reliable <06884>; he <01931> is a shield <04043> to all <03605> who take shelter <02620> in him.
32Indeed <03588>, who <04310> is God <0410> besides <01107> the Lord <03068>? Who <04310> is a protector <06697> besides <01107> our God <0430>?
33The one true God <0410> is my mighty <02428> refuge <04581>; he removes <05425> the obstacles <08549> in my way <01870>.
34He gives <07737> me the agility <07737> of a deer <0355>; he enables me to negotiate <05975> the rugged terrain <01116>.
35He trains <03925> my hands <03027> for battle <04421>; my arms <02220> can bend <05181> even the strongest <05154> bow <07198>.
36You give <05414> me your protective <03468> shield <04043>; your willingness to help <06031> enables <07235> me to prevail <07235>.
37You widen <07337> my path <06806>; my feet <07166> <08478> do not <03808> slip <04571>.
38I chase <07291> my enemies <0341> and destroy <08045> them; I do not <03808> turn back <07725> until <05704> I wipe <03615> them out <03615>.
39I wipe <0398> them out <0398> and beat <04272> them to death; they cannot <03808> get up <06965>; they fall <05307> at <08478> my feet <07272>.
40You give <0247> me strength <02428> for battle <04421>; you make my foes kneel <03766> before <08478> me.
41You make <05414> my enemies <0341> retreat <06203>; I destroy <06789> those who hate <08130> me.
42They cry out <08159>, but there is no one <0369> to help <03467> them; they cry out to <0413> the Lord <03068>, but he does not <03808> answer <06030> them.
43I grind <07833> them as fine as the dust <06083> of the ground <0776>; I crush <01854> them and stomp <07554> on them like clay <02916> in the streets <02351>.
44You rescue <06403> me from a hostile <07379> army <05971>; you preserve <08104> me as a leader <07218> of nations <01471>; people <05971> over whom I had no <03808> authority <03045> are now my subjects <05647>.
45Foreigners <05236> <01121> are powerless <03584> before me; when they hear <0241> <08085> of my exploits, they submit <08085> to me.
46Foreigners <05236> <01121> lose <05034> their courage <05034>; they shake with fear <02296> as they leave their strongholds <04526>.
47The Lord <03068> is alive <02416>! My protector <06697> is praiseworthy <01288>! The God <0430> who delivers <03468> me is exalted <07311> as king <06697>!
48The one true God <0410> completely vindicates <05360> <05414> me; he makes nations <05971> submit <03381> to <08478> me.
49He delivers <03318> me from my enemies <0341>; you snatch <07311> me away <07311> from those who attack <06965> me; you rescue <05337> me from violent <02555> men <0376>.
50So <03651> I will give you thanks <03034>, O Lord <03068>, before the nations <01471>! I will sing praises <02167> to you <08034>.
51He gives <01431> his chosen king <04428> magnificent <01431> victories <03444>; he is faithful <02617> to his chosen ruler <04899>, to David <01732> and to his descendants <02233> forever <05769> <05704>!”
