1Soothly David spake to the Lord the words of this song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.
2And David said, The Lord is my stone, and my strength or my strong-hold, and my saviour;
3my God, my strength, I shall hope into him; my shield, and the horn of mine health, my raiser up, and my refuge; my saviour, thou shalt deliver me from wickedness, that is, hast delivered.
4I shall inwardly call the Lord, worthy to be praised; and I shall be safe from mine enemies.
5For the sorrows of death com-passed me; the strands or streams of Belial made me afeared.
6The cords of hell encompassed me; the snares of death have gone before me.
7In tribulation I shall call thee, Lord, that is, I have called thee, Lord, and I shall cry to my God; and he heard from his holy temple my voice, and my cry shall come to his ears.
8The earth was moved, and trembled; the foundaments of hills were smitten and shaken together, for the Lord was wroth to them.
9Smoke went up from his nostrils, and fire of his mouth shall devour; coals were kindled of it.
10And he bowed heavens, and came down; and mist under his feet.
11And he went upon cherubim, and flew; and he slid up on the pens or wings of the wind.
12He put darkness a hiding place in his compass, and riddled or winnowed waters from the clouds of heavens;
13for brightness in his sight coals of fire were kindled.
14The Lord shall thunder from heavens; and the high God shall give his voice.
15He sent his arrows, and scattered them; and sent lightnings, and wasted them.
16And the sheddings out of the sea appeared, and the foundaments of the world were showed; from the blaming of the Lord, from the breathing of the spirit of his strong vengeance.
17He sent from heaven, and took me; and drew me out of many waters.
18He delivered me from my might-iest enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were stronger than I.

19They came before me in the day of my tormenting; and the Lord was made my steadfastness.
20And he led me out into largeness, and he delivered me; for I pleased him.
21The Lord shall yield to me after my rightwiseness; and he shall yield to me after the cleanness of mine hands.
22For I have kept the ways of the Lord; and I did not turn wickedly from my God.
23For all his dooms were in my sight; and I did not away from me his behests.
24And I shall be perfect with him; and I shall keep me from my wicked-ness.
25And the Lord shall restore to me after my rightwiseness; and after the cleanness of mine hands in the sight of his eyes.
26With the holy thou shalt be holy, and with the strong, that is, to suffer adversities patiently, thou shalt be perfect;
27and with a chosen man thou shalt be chosen, and with a wayward man thou shalt be made wayward.
28And thou shalt make safe a poor people; and with thine eyes thou shalt make low them that be high.
29For thou, Lord, art my lantern, and thou, Lord, shalt lighten my darkness.
30For I girded, that is, made ready to battle, shall run in thee, that is, in thy strength; and in my God I shall skip over the wall.
31God, his way is without wem; the speech of the Lord is examined with fire, that is, is pure and clean as metal proved in the furnace; he is a shield of all men hoping in him.
32For who is God, except the Lord; and who is strong, except our God?
33God, that hath girded me with strength, and hath made plane my perfect way;
34and he hath made even my feet with harts’, and hath set me upon mine high things;
35and he taught mine hands to battle, and a brazen bow was granted to mine arms.
36Thou hast given to me the shield of thine health; and thy mildness hath multiplied me.

37Thou shalt alarge my steps under me; and mine heels shall not fail.
38I shall pursue mine enemies, and I shall all-brake them; and I shall not turn again, till I waste them.
39I shall waste them, and I shall break them, that they rise not; they shall fall under my feet.
40Thou hast girded me with strength to battle; thou hast bowed under me them that stood against me.
41Thou hast given mine enemies’ aback to me, men hating me; and I shall destroy them.
42They shall cry, that is, to idols either to men’s help, and none shall be that shall save them; they shall cry to the Lord, and he shall not hear them.
43I shall do away them as the dust of the earth; I shall pound them, and I shall do them away as the clay, or the fen, of streets.
44Thou shalt save me from the against-sayings of my people; thou shalt keep me into the head of folks; the people, whom I know not, shall serve me.
45Alien sons shall not against-stand me; by hearing of the ear, they shall obey to me.
46Alien sons floated away; and they shall be drawn together in their enclosings.
47The Lord liveth, and my God is blessed; and the strong God of mine health shall be enhanced.
48God, that givest vengeances to me, and hast cast down peoples under me.
49Which leadest me out from mine enemies, and raisest me from men against-standing me; thou shalt deliver me from the wicked man.
50Therefore, Lord, I shall acknowl-edge to thee in heathen men; and I shall sing to thy name.
51That he maketh great the healths of his king; and doeth mercy to his christ, David, and to his seed till into without end.
