¹ I will love you, O Yahuah, my strength.

² Yahuah is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my El, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my yeshu`ah, and my high tower.

³ I will call upon Yahuah, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.

⁴ The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of wicked men made me afraid.

⁵ The sorrows of She'ol compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

⁶ In my distress I called upon Yahuah, and cried unto my Elohiym: he heard my voice out of his Temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

⁷ Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

⁸ There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

⁹ He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰ And he rode upon a Keruv, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

¹¹ He made darkness his secret place; his cukkah round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

¹² At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

¹³ Yahuah also thundered in the heavens, and El Elyon gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

¹⁴ Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

¹⁵ Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O Yahuah, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

¹⁶ He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

¹⁸ They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but Yahuah was my stay.

¹⁹ He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

²⁰ Yahuah rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

²¹ For I have guarded the ways of Yahuah, and have not wickedly departed from my Elohiym.

²² For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

²³ I was also upright before him, and I guarded myself from my iniquity.

²⁴ Therefore has Yahuah recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁵ With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;

²⁶ With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the froward you will show yourself froward.

²⁷ For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.

²⁸ For you will light my candle: Yahuah Elohai will enlighten my darkness.

²⁹ For by you I have run through a troop; and by my Elohiym have I leaped over a wall.

³⁰ As for El, his way is perfect: the Word of Yahuah is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

³¹ For who is Eloah save Yahuah? or who is a rock save our Elohiym?

³² It is El that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

³³ He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.

³⁴ He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.

³⁵ You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.

³⁶ You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

³⁷ I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

³⁸ I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

³⁹ For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.

⁴⁰ You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto Yahuah, but he answered them not.

⁴² Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

⁴³ You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

⁴⁵ The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

⁴⁶ Yahuah lives; and blessed be my Rock; and let the Elohiym of my yeshu`ah be exalted.

⁴⁷ It is El that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.

⁴⁸ He delivers me from my enemies: yea, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.

⁴⁹ Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O Yahuah, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.

⁵⁰ Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed forevermore.
