¹And David [beloved] spoke unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the words of this song in the day [that] the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Sha’ul [desired] :

²And he said, The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

³The God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; youi save me from violence.

⁴I will call on the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , [who is] worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.

⁵When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

⁶The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

⁷In my distress I called upon the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and cried to my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] : and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry [did enter] into his ears.

⁸Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was exceedingly angry.

⁹There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

¹⁰He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness [was] under his feet.

¹¹And he rode upon a cherub [keruv] , and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

¹²And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies.

¹³Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

¹⁴The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

¹⁵And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and scattered (defeated in battle) them.

¹⁶And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

¹⁷He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

¹⁸He delivered me from my strong enemy, [and] from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁹They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was my stay.

²⁰He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²¹The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

²²For I have kept the ways of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and have not wickedly departed from my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] .

²³For all his judgments [were] before me: and [as for] his statutes, I did not depart from them.

²⁴I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.

²⁵Therefore the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.

²⁶With the merciful youi will show yourself merciful, [and] with the upright man youi will show yourself upright.

²⁷With the pure youi will show yourself pure; and with the perverse (twisted) [habitually disposed to disobedience and opposition] youi will show yourself unsavoury.

²⁸And the afflicted people youi will save: but youri eyes [are] upon the arrogant (proud; lifted up) , [that] youi may bring [them] down.

²⁹For youi [are] my lamp, O Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) : and the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will lighten my darkness.

³⁰For by youi I have run through a troop: by my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] have I leaped over a wall.

³¹[As for] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , his way [is] perfect; the word of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] tried: he [is] a buckler (round shielf held with a grip) to all them that trust in him.

³²For who [is] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , save the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ? and who [is] a rock, save our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] ?

³³God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] my strength [and] power: and he makes my way perfect.

³⁴He makes my feet like hinds’ [feet] : and sets me upon my high places.

³⁵He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.

³⁶youi have also given me the shield of youri salvation: and youri gentleness has made me great.

³⁷youi have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

³⁸I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

³⁹And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yes, they are fallen under my feet.

⁴⁰For youi have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have youi subdued under me.

⁴¹youi have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

⁴²They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , but he answered them not.

⁴³Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, [and] did spread them abroad.

⁴⁴youi also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, youi have kept me [to be] head of the heathen: a people [which] I knew not shall serve me.

⁴⁵Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.

⁴⁶Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

⁴⁷The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) lives; and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] my rock; and exalted be the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of the rock of my salvation.

⁴⁸It [is] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me,

⁴⁹And that brings me forth from my enemies: youi also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: youi have delivered me from the violent man.

⁵⁰Therefore I will give thanks unto youi , O Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto youri name.

⁵¹[He is] the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, unto David [beloved] , and to his seed forevermore.
