JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Locutus est autem David Domino verba carminis hujus in die qua liberavit eum Dominus de manu omnium inimicorum suorum, et de manu Saul.
1And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
2Et ait: [Dominus petra mea, et robur meum, et salvator meus.
2and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3Deus fortis meus: sperabo in eum; scutum meum, et cornu salutis meæ: elevator meus, et refugium meum; salvator meus: de iniquitate liberabis me.
3The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence.
4Laudabilem invocabo Dominum, et ab inimicis meis salvus ero.
4Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
5Quia circumdederunt me contritiones mortis: torrentes Belial terruerunt me.
5For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
6Funes inferni circumdederunt me: prævenerunt me laquei mortis.
6The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me.
7In tribulatione mea invocabo Dominum, et ad Deum meum clamabo: et exaudiet de templo suo vocem meam, et clamor meus veniet ad aures ejus.
7In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears.
8Commota est et contremuit terra; fundamenta montium concussa sunt, et conquassata: quoniam iratus est eis.
8Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
9Ascendit fumus de naribus ejus, et ignis de ore ejus vorabit: carbones succensi sunt ab eo.
9Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
10Inclinavit cælos, et descendit: et caligo sub pedibus ejus.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
11Et ascendit super cherubim, et volavit: et lapsus est super pennas venti.
11And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12Posuit tenebras in circuitu suo latibulum, cribrans aquas de nubibus cælorum.
12And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13Præ fulgore in conspectu ejus, succensi sunt carbones ignis.
13At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
14Tonabit de cælo Dominus, et excelsus dabit vocem suam.
14The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
15Misit sagittas et dissipavit eos; fulgur, et consumpsit eos.
15And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16Et apparuerunt effusiones maris, et revelata sunt fundamenta orbis ab increpatione Domini, ab inspiratione spiritus furoris ejus.
16And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17Misit de excelso, et assumpsit me, et extraxit me de aquis multis.
17He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
18Liberavit me ab inimico meo potentissimo, et ab his qui oderant me: quoniam robustiores me erant.
18He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19Prævenit me in die afflictionis meæ, et factus est Dominus firmamentum meum.
19They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
20Et eduxit me in latitudinem: liberavit me, quia complacui ei.
20He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
21Retribuet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam: et secundum munditiam manuum mearum reddet mihi.
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
22Quia custodivi vias Domini, et non egi impie a Deo meo.
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23Omnia enim judicia ejus in conspectu meo, et præcepta ejus non amovi a me.
23For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24Et ero perfectus cum eo, et custodiam me ab iniquitate mea.
24And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
25Et restituet mihi Dominus secundum justitiam meam, et secundum munditiam manuum mearum in conspectu oculorum suorum.
25Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
26Cum sancto sanctus eris, et cum robusto perfectus.
26With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
27Cum electo electus eris, et cum perverso perverteris.
27With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
28Et populum pauperem salvum facies: oculisque tuis excelsos humiliabis.
28And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
29Quia tu lucerna mea, Domine, et tu, Domine, illuminabis tenebras meas.
29For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
30In te enim curram accinctus: in Deo meo transiliam murum.
30For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
31Deus, immaculata via ejus; eloquium Domini igne examinatum: scutum est omnium sperantium in se.
31As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
32Quis est Deus præter Dominum, et quis fortis præter Deum nostrum?
32For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
33Deus qui accinxit me fortitudine, et complanavit perfectam viam meam.
33The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
34Coæquans pedes meos cervis, et super excelsa mea statuens me;
34Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
35docens manus meas ad prælium, et componens quasi arcum æreum brachia mea.
35Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
36Dedisti mihi clypeum salutis tuæ, et mansuetudo tua multiplicavit me.
36Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
37Dilatabis gressus meos subtus me, et non deficient tali mei.
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
38Persequar inimicos meos, et conteram, et non convertar donec consumam eos.
38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
39Consumam eos et confringam, ut non consurgant: cadent sub pedibus meis.
39And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40Accinxisti me fortitudine ad prælium: incurvasti resistentes mihi subtus me.
40For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41Inimicos meos dedisti mihi dorsum; odientes me, et disperdam eos.
41Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
42Clamabunt, et non erit qui salvet; ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos.
42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
43Delebo eos ut pulverem terræ; quasi lutum platearum comminuam eos atque confringam.
43Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down.
44Salvabis me a contradictionibus populi mei; custodies me in caput gentium: populus quem ignoro serviet mihi.
44Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
45Filii alieni resistent mihi; auditu auris obedient mihi.
45The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46Filii alieni defluxerunt, et contrahentur in angustiis suis.
46The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
47Vivit Dominus, et benedictus Deus meus, et exaltabitur Deus fortis salutis meæ.
47The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
48Deus qui das vindictas mihi, et dejicis populos sub me.
48Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
49Qui educis me ab inimicis meis, et a resistentibus mihi elevas me: a viro iniquo liberabis me.
49And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
50Propterea confitebor tibi, Domine, in gentibus, et nomini tuo cantabo:
50Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
51magnificans salutes regis sui, et faciens misericordiam christo suo David, et semini ejus in sempiternum.]
51A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
