1And David [beloved] spoke unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

3The God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and cried to my God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and have not wickedly departed from my God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will lighten my darkness.

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

31[As for] God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], his way [is] perfect; the word of the LORD-Yehovah (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-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], save the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)? and who [is] a rock, save our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]?

33God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) lives; and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] my rock; and exalted be the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of the rock of my salvation.

48It [is] God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (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.
