3: [who is worthy] to be praised,H1984 I will callH7121 upon Yahweh,H3068 so fromH4480 my enemiesH0341 shall I be saved.H3467

4: Surrounded meH0661 the pangsH2256 of deathH4194 and the floodsH5158 of ungodlinessH1100 made me afraid.H1204

5: The sorrowsH2256 of SheolH7585 surrounded me-H5437 confronted meH6923 the snaresH4170 of death.H4194

6: In distressH6862 I called uponH7121 Yahweh,H3068 and toH0413 my God-H0430 cried outH7768 He heardH8085 from His temple,H1964 my voiceH6963 and my cryH7775 before HimH6440 cameH0935 [even] to His ears.H0241

7: And shookH1607 and trembled-H7493 the earthH0776 and the foundationsH4146 of the hillsH2022 quakedH7264 and were shaken,H1607 becauseH3588 was angryH2734

8: Went upH5927 SmokeH6227 from His nostrils,H0639 and fireH0784 from His mouthH6310 devouring-H0398 CoalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it.H4480

9: And He bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 and came down-H3381 and with darknessH6205 underH8478 His feet.H7272

10: And He rodeH7392 uponH5921 a cherub,H3742 and flew-H5774 and He flewH1675 uponH5921 the wingsH3671 of the wind.H7307

11: He madeH7896 darknessH2822 His secret place-H5643 around HimH5439 His canopy [was]H5521 darkH2824 watersH4325 [And] thick cloudsH5645 of the skies.H7834

12: From the brightnessH5051 before HimH5048 His thick cloudsH5645 passed with,H5674 hailstonesH1259 and coalsH1513 of fire.H0784

13: And thunderedH7481 from heaven,H8064 YahwehH3068 and the Most HighH5945 utteredH5414 His voice-H6963 HailstonesH1259 and coalsH1513 of fire.H0784

14: And He sent outH7971 His arrows,H2671 and scattered the foeH6327 and Lightnings,H1300 in abundanceH7232 and He vanquished them.H2000

15: And were seen,H7200 the channelsH0650 of the seaH4325 and were uncoveredH1540 the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 at Your rebuke,H1606 Yahweh,H3068 at the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of Your nostrils.H0639

16: He sentH7971 from above,H4791 He took meH3947 He drew meH4871 out of watersH4325 many.H7227

17: He delivered meH5337 from my enemy,H0341 strongH5794 and from those who hated meH8130 forH3588 they were too strongH0553 for me,H4480

18: they confronted meH6923 in the dayH3117 of my calamity,H0343 but wasH1961 YahwehH3068 my supportH4937

19: And He brought me outH3318 into a broad place-H4800 He delivered meH2502 becauseH3588 He delightedH2654

20: Rewarded meH1580 YahwehH3068 according to my righteousness-H6664 According to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 He has recompensedH7725

21: ForH3588 I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of Yahweh,H3068 and notH3808 have wickedly departedH7561 from my God.H0430

22: ForH3588 allH3605 His judgments [were]H4941 before meH5048 and His statutesH2708 notH3808 I did put awayH5493 from me.H4480

23: And I wasH1961 blamelessH8549 before HimH5973 and I kept myselfH8104 from my iniquity.H5771

24: Therefore has recompensedH7725 YahwehH3068 according to my righteousness,H6664 According to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 inH5048 His sight.H5869

25: WithH5973 the mercifulH2623 You will show Yourself merciful-H2616 withH5973 a manH1399 blamelessH8549 You will show Yourself blameless-H8552

26: withH5973 the pureH1305 You will show Yourself pure-H1305 and withH5973 the deviousH6141 You will show Yourself shrewd.H6617

27: ForH3588 You willH0859 the people-H5971 humbleH6041 saveH3467 but looksH5869 haughtyH7311 will bring down.H8213

28: ForH3588 YouH0859 will lightH0215 my lamp-H5216 YahwehH3068 my GodH0430 will enlightenH5050 my darkness.H2822

29: ForH3588 I can run againstH7323 a troop-H1416 and by my GodH0430 I can leap overH1801 a wall.H7791

30: [As for] God,H0410 perfect-H8549 His way [is]H1870 the wordH0565 of YahwehH3068 is proven-H6884 a shieldH4043 He [is]H1931 to allH3605 who trustH2620

31: ForH3588 who [is]H4310 GodH0433 exceptH1107 Yahweh?H3068 and who [is]H4310 a rockH6697 exceptH2108 our God?H0430

32: [it is] GodH0410 who arms meH0247 with strength,H2428 and makesH5414 perfectH8549 my way.H1870

33: He makesH7737 my feetH7272 like the [feet] of deerH0355 and onH5921 my high placesH1116 sets me.H5975

34: He teachesH3925 my handsH3027 to make war,H4421 so that can bendH5181 a bowH7198 of bronzeH5154 my arms.H2220

35: And You have givenH5414 the shieldH4043 of Your salvation,H3468 Your right handH3225 has held me up,H5582 and Your gentlenessH6037 has made me great.H7235

36: You enlargedH7337 my pathH6806 under meH8478 so notH3808 did slipH4571 my feet.H7166

37: I have pursuedH7291 my enemies,H0341 and overtaken themH5381 and neitherH3808 did I turn back againH7725 tillH5704 they were destroyed.H3615

38: I have wounded themH4272 so that notH3808 they couldH3201 rise-H6965 they have fallenH5307 underH8478 my feet.H7272

39: For You have armed meH0247 with strengthH2428 for the battle-H4421 You have subduedH3766 those who rose up against meH6965 under me.H8478

40: And my enemies-H0341 You have givenH5414 the necksH6203 of so that those who hated meH8130 I destroyed.H6789

41: They cried out,H7768 but [there was] noneH0369 to saveH3467 [Even] toH5921 Yahweh,H3068 but notH3808 He did answer them.H6030

42: And I beat them as fineH7833 as the dustH6083 uponH5921 the face ofH6440 the wind-H7307 like dirt inH2916 the streetsH2351 I cast them out.H7324

43: You have delivered meH6403 from the strivingsH7379 of the people-H5971 You have made meH7760 the headH7218 of the nations-H1471 a peopleH5971 notH3808 I have knownH3045 shall serve me.H5647

44: As soon asH8088 they hear of meH0241 they obeyH8085 the strangersH1121 the foreignersH5236 submitH3584

45: SonsH1121 the foreignersH5236 fade away,H5034 and come frightenedH2727 from their hideouts.H4526

46: Lives-H2416 YahwehH3068 and Blessed [be]H1288 my Rock-H6697 and let be exaltedH7311 the GodH0433 of my salvation.H3468

47: [it is] GodH0410 whoH5414 avengesH5360 and subduesH1696 the peoplesH5971 under me.H8478

48: He delivers meH6403 from my enemies-H0341 also,H0637 above-H4480 those who rise against meH6965 You lift me upH7311 from the manH0376 violentH2555 You have delivered me.H5337

49: UponH5921 thusH3651 I will give thanks to YouH3034 among the Gentiles,H1471 Yahweh,H3068 and to Your nameH8034 sing praises.H2167 Great He givesH2167 deliverance toH3444 his king-H4428 and showsH6213 mercyH2617 to His anointed,H4899 to David,H1732 and His descendantsH2233 even toH5704 forevermore.H5769
