King James Version with Apocrypha
1וידבר דוד ליהוה את דברי השירה הזאת ביום הציל יהוה אתו מכף כל איביו ומכף שאול׃
1And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2ויאמר יהוה סלעי ומצדתי ומפלטי לי׃
2And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3אלהי צורי אחסה בו מגני וקרן ישעי משגבי ומנוסי משעי מחמס תשעני׃
3The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
4מהלל אקרא יהוה ומאיבי אושע׃
4I will call on the LORD , who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5כי אפפני משברי מות נחלי בליעל יבעתני׃
5When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
6חבלי שאול סבני קדמני מקשי מות׃
6The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
7בצר לי אקרא יהוה ואל אלהי אקרא וישמע מהיכלו קולי ושועתי באזניו׃
7In my distress I called upon the LORD , and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8ותגעש ותרעש הארץ מוסדות השמים ירגזו ויתגעשו כי חרה לו׃
8Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9עלה עשן באפו ואש מפיו תאכל גחלים בערו ממנו׃
9There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10ויט שמים וירד וערפל תחת רגליו׃
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11וירכב על כרוב ויעף וירא על כנפי רוח׃
11And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12וישת חשך סביבתיו סכות חשרת מים עבי שחקים׃
12And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13מנגה נגדו בערו גחלי אש׃
13Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14ירעם מן שמים יהוה ועליון יתן קולו׃
14The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15וישלח חצים ויפיצם ברק ויהמם׃
15And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16ויראו אפקי ים יגלו מסדות תבל בגערת יהוה מנשמת רוח אפו׃
16And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD , at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17ישלח ממרום יקחני ימשני ממים רבים׃
17He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18יצילני מאיבי עז משנאי כי אמצו ממני׃
18He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19יקדמני ביום אידי ויהי יהוה משען לי׃
19They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20ויצא למרחב אתי יחלצני כי חפץ בי׃
20He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21יגמלני יהוה כצדקתי כבר ידי ישיב לי׃
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22כי שמרתי דרכי יהוה ולא רשעתי מאלהי׃
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD , and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23כי כל משפטו לנגדי וחקתיו לא אסור ממנה׃
23For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24ואהיה תמים לו ואשתמרה מעוני׃
24I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
25וישב יהוה לי כצדקתי כברי לנגד עיניו׃
25Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26עם חסיד תתחסד עם גבור תמים תתמם׃
26With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
27עם נבר תתבר ועם עקש תתפל׃
27With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
28ואת עם עני תושיע ועיניך על רמים תשפיל׃
28And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
29כי אתה נירי יהוה ויהוה יגיה חשכי׃
29For thou art my lamp, O LORD : and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30כי בכה ארוץ גדוד באלהי אדלג שור׃
30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31האל תמים דרכו אמרת יהוה צרופה מגן הוא לכל החסים בו׃
31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32כי מי אל מבלעדי יהוה ומי צור מבלעדי אלהינו׃
32For who is God, save the LORD ? and who is a rock, save our God?
33האל מעוזי חיל ויתר תמים דרכו׃
33God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34משוה רגליו כאילות ועל במותי יעמדני׃
34He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
35מלמד ידי למלחמה ונחת קשת נחושה זרעתי׃
35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36ותתן לי מגן ישעך וענתך תרבני׃
36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37תרחיב צעדי תחתני ולא מעדו קרסלי׃
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38ארדפה איבי ואשמידם ולא אשוב עד כלותם׃
38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39ואכלם ואמחצם ולא יקומון ויפלו תחת רגלי׃
39And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40ותזרני חיל למלחמה תכריע קמי תחתני׃
40For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41ואיבי תתה לי ערף משנאי ואצמיתם׃
41Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42ישעו ואין משיע אל יהוה ולא ענם׃
42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD , but he answered them not.
43ואשחקם כעפר ארץ כטיט חוצות אדקם ארקעם׃
43Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44ותפלטני מריבי עמי תשמרני לראש גוים עם לא ידעתי יעבדני׃
44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45בני נכר יתכחשו לי לשמוע אזן ישמעו לי׃
45Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
46בני נכר יבלו ויחגרו ממסגרותם׃
46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47חי יהוה וברוך צורי וירם אלהי צור ישעי׃
47The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48האל הנתן נקמת לי ומוריד עמים תחתני׃
48It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49ומוציאי מאיבי ומקמי תרוממני מאיש חמסים תצילני׃
49And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50על כן אודך יהוה בגוים ולשמך אזמר׃
50Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD , among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
51מגדיל ישועות מלכו ועשה חסד למשיחו לדוד ולזרעו עד עולם׃
51He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
