1
And David speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
2 and he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
2
and he saith: `Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
3 God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My savior, you save me from violence.
3
My God [is] my rock -- I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!

The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
5 For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:
5
When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,

6
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death.
7 In my distress I called on the LORD; Yes, I called to my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, My cry [came] into his ears.
7
In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears,
8 Then the eretz shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked Were shaken, because he was angry.
