1I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:
4The cords of death compassed me,
5The cords of Sheol were round about me;
6In my distress I called upon Jehovah,
7Then the earth shook and trembled;
8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down;
10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly;
11He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him,
12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,
13Jehovah also thundered in the heavens,
14And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;
15Then the channels of waters appeared,
16He sent from on high, he took me;
17He delivered me from my strong enemy,
18They came upon me in the day of my calamity;
19He brought me forth also into a large place;
20Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness;
21For I have kept the ways of Jehovah,
22For all his ordinances were before me,
23I was also perfect with him,
24Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness,
25With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;
26With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;
27For thou wilt save the afflicted people;
28For thou wilt light my lamp:
29For by thee I run upon a troop;
30As for God, his way is perfect:
31For who is God, save Jehovah?
32The God that girdeth me with strength,
33He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet:
34He teacheth my hands to war;
35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;
36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
37I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them;
38I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise:
39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:
40Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,
41They cried, but there was none to save;
42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;
43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;
44As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me;
45The foreigners shall fade away,
46Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock;
47Even the God that executeth vengeance for me,
48He rescueth me from mine enemies;
49Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations,
50Great deliverance giveth he to his king,
