2Adonai is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my yesha' ·salvation·, my high tower.
3I call on Adonai , who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
4The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5The cords of Sheol ·Place of the dead· were around me. The snares of death came on me.
6In my distress I called on Adonai , and cried to my God. He sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
7Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
8Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
10He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
11He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
13Adonai also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
14He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
15Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Adonai , at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Adonai was my support.
19He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20Adonai has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21For I have kept the ways of Adonai , and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22For all his judgments were before me. I didn’t put away his regulations from me.
23I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
24Therefore Adonai has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
26With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
27For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.
28For you will light my lamp, Adonai . My God will light up my darkness.
29For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
