\v 1 After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
|
|
\v 2 This is what he sang:
|
|
\q1 "Yahweh, you are like a huge rock on top of which I can hide.
|
|
\q2 You are like a fortress, and you rescue me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Yahweh, you protect me. You are like a shield,
|
|
\q2 and you are the powerful one who saves me.
|
|
\q1 You are like a place where I find refuge.
|
|
\q2 You save me from those who act violently toward me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 I call out to you, Yahweh.
|
|
\q2 You deserve to be praised,
|
|
\q2 and you rescue me from my enemies.
|

\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 I almost died. It was as if a huge wave had crashed over me,
|
|
\q1 and almost destroyed me like a flood.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 I thought that I would die. It was as though death had wrapped ropes around me,
|
|
\q2 and it was as though I were in a trap where I would surely die.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 But when I was very distressed, I called out to you, Yahweh.
|
|
\q2 I cried out to you, my God.
|
|
\q1 You heard me from your temple.
|
|
\q2 You listened when I called to you to help me.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Then it was as though the earth quaked and shook.
|
|
\q2 It was as though the foundations that held up the sky trembled,
|
|
\q2 because you were angry.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 It was as though smoke poured out of your nostrils
|
|
\q2 and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 You tore open the skies and came down.
|
|
\q2 There was a thick dark cloud under your feet.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 You rode through the sky on a winged creature.
|
|
\q2 The wind enabled you to travel swiftly, like a bird.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 The darkness was around you, like a blanket
|
|
\q2 thick clouds that were full of water surrounded you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Out of the lightning in front of you
|
|
\q2 fire from burning coals flamed.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky.
|
|
\q2 It was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 When you sent flashes of lightning,
|
|
\q2 it was as though you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered.
|
|
\q2 The foundations of the world could be seen
|
|
\q1 when you shouted, going into battle against our enemies
|
|
\q2 and angry at them.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up.
|
|
\q2 You pulled me up from the deep water.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 You rescued me from my strong enemies,
|
|
\q2 from those who hated me.
|
|
\q1 I could not defeat them because they were very strong.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles,
|
|
\q2 but Yahweh, you protected me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 You brought me into a place where I was safe.
|
|
\q2 You rescued me because you were pleased with me.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right.
|
|
\q2 You did good things for me because I was innocent.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws.
|
|
\q2 I have not turned away from you, my God.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 23 All of your decrees were in my mind,
|
|
\q2 and I did not turn away from obeying all your decrees.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 You know that I have not done anything that is evil.
|
|
\q2 I have kept myself from doing things for which you would punish me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 25 So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right,
|
|
\q2 because you know that I am innocent of doing wrong things.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 26 Yahweh, you are faithful to those who always trust in you,
|
|
\q2 and you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 27 You act sincerely toward those whose inner beings are pure,
|
|
\q2 but you are hostile to those who are perverse.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 28 You rescue those who are humble,
|
|
\q2 but you watch those who are proud and humiliate them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 29 Yahweh, you are like a lamp
|
|
\q2 that causes it to become light when I am in the darkness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 30 With your strength I can break through a line of soldiers blocking my way;
|
|
\q2 I can climb over the wall that surrounds their city.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 31 My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect.
|
|
\q2 You always do what you promise that you will do.
|
|
\q1 You are like a shield to all those who request you to protect them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 32 Yahweh, you are the only one who is God.
|
|
\q2 Only you are like a huge rock on top of which which we are protected.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 33 God, you whom I worship are a strong refuge for me.
|
|
\q2 You lead anyone who is pure in the way he should go.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 34 When I walk in the mountains,
|
|
\q2 you enable me to walk safely
|
|
\q2 as a deer runs, without stumbling.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 35 You teach me how to fight in a battle
|
|
\q2 in order that I can shoot arrows well from a very strong bow.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 36 It is as though you have given me a shield
|
|
\q2 by which you have saved me,
|
|
\q2 and you have answered my prayers and caused me to become famous.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 37 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me,
|
|
\q2 and I have not fallen down during battle.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 38 I pursued my enemies and defeated them.
|
|
\q2 I did not stop fighting them until they were all killed.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 39 I struck them down. I stabbed them with my sword,
|
|
\q1 and they fell down at my feet and did not stand up again.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 40 You have given me strength for fighting battles
|
|
\q2 and caused those who were attacking me to fall down; I trampled on them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 41 You caused my enemies to turn and run away from me.
|
|
\q2 I destroyed those who hated me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 42 They looked for someone to rescue them, but no one did.
|
|
\q2 They cried out to you, Yahweh, for help, but you did not answer them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 43 I crushed them, and they became like tiny particles of dust.
|
|
\q2 I trampled them, and they became like mud in the streets.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 44 You rescued me from those who tried to rebel against me,
|
|
\q2 and you appointed me to rule many nations.
|
|
\q2 People whom I did not know previously are now under my authority.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 45 Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me.
|
|
\q2 As soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 46 They became afraid,
|
|
\q2 and they came to me, trembling, from the places where they were hiding.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 47 Yahweh, you are alive! I praise you! You are like a huge rock on top of which I am safe!
|
|
\q2 You are the one who rescues me.
|
|
\q2 Everyone should exalt you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 48 You enable me to conquer my enemies,
|
|
\q2 and you cause people of other nations to be under my authority.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 49 You delivered me from my enemies,
|
|
\q1 and you caused me to be honored more than they were.
|
|
\q2 You rescued me from men who always acted violently.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 50 Because of all this, I praise you among many people groups,
|
|
\q2 and I sing to praise you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 51 You enable me, whom you appointed to be king, to conquer my enemies.
|
|
\q2 You faithfully love me, David, and you will love my descendants forever."
