1. Then Dawiḏ spoke to יהוה the words of this song, on the day when יהוה had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Sha’ul.
2. And he said, “יהוה is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer.
3. “My Elohim is my rock, I take refuge in Him, My shield and the horn of my deliverance, My high tower and my refuge. My Saviour, You save me from violence.
4. “I call on יהוה, the One to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.
5. “For the waves of death surrounded me, Floods of Beliya‛al made me afraid,
6. “The cords of the grave were all around me; The snares of death were before me.
7. “In my distress I called upon יהוה, And to my Elohim I cried. And from His Hĕḵal He heard my voice, And my cry was in His ears.
8. “And the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of the heavens were troubled, Because He was wroth.
9. “Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it.
10. “And He bowed the heavens and came down, And thick darkness was under His feet.
