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 saith: `Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
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!
4. The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
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 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. And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!
