1. David spoke to Adonai the words of this song in the day that Adonai delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2. He said: “Adonai is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer.
3. My God is my rock, in Him I take refuge, my shield, my horn of salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my Savior—You save me from violence.
4. I called upon Adonai, worthy of praise, and I was rescued from my enemies.
5. For waves of death encompassed me. Torrents of Belial overwhelmed me.
6. Cords of death entangled me. Snares of death came before me.
7. In my distress I called upon Adonai, yes, I called to my God. From His Temple He heard my voice, my cry came into His ears.
