To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, who spakeH1696 unto the LORDH3068 the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 him from the handH3709 of all his enemiesH341, and from the handH3027 of SaulH7586: And he saidH559, I will loveH7355 thee, O LORDH3068, my strengthH2391.
The LORDH3068 is my rockH5553, and my fortressH4686, and my delivererH6403; my GodH410, my strengthH6697, in whom I will trustH2620; my bucklerH4043, and the hornH7161 of my salvationH3468, and my high towerH4869. {my strength: Heb. my rock}
I will callH7121 upon the LORDH3068, who is worthy to be praisedH1984: so shall I be savedH3467 from mine enemiesH341.
The sorrowsH2256 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, and the floodsH5158 of ungodly menH1100 made me afraidH1204. {ungodly men: Heb. Belial}
The sorrowsH2256 of hellH7585 compassed me aboutH5437: the snaresH4170 of deathH4194 preventedH6923 me. {sorrows: or, cords}
In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068, and criedH7768 unto my GodH430: he heardH8085 my voiceH6963 out of his templeH1964, and my cryH7775 cameH935 beforeH6440 him, even into his earsH241.
Then the earthH776 shookH1607 and trembledH7493; the foundationsH4146 also of the hillsH2022 movedH7264 and were shakenH1607, because he was wrothH2734.
There went upH5927 a smokeH6227 out of his nostrilsH639, and fireH784 out of his mouthH6310 devouredH398: coalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by his, etc}
He bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 also, and came downH3381: and darknessH6205 was under his feetH7272.
And he rodeH7392 upon a cherubH3742, and did flyH5774: yea, he did flyH1675 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.
He madeH7896 darknessH2822 his secret placeH5643; his pavilionH5521 round aboutH5439 him were darkH2824 watersH4325 and thick cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834.
At the brightnessH5051 that was before him his thick cloudsH5645 passedH5674, hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
The LORDH3068 also thunderedH7481 in the heavensH8064, and the HighestH5945 gaveH5414 his voiceH6963; hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
Yea, he sent outH7971 his arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327 them; and he shot outH7232 lightningsH1300, and discomfitedH2000 them.
Then the channelsH650 of watersH4325 were seenH7200, and the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were discoveredH1540 at thy rebukeH1606, O LORDH3068, at the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of thy nostrilsH639.
He sentH7971 from aboveH4791, he tookH3947 me, he drewH4871 me out of manyH7227 watersH4325. {many: or, great}
He deliveredH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH341, and from them which hatedH8130 me: for they were too strongH553 for me.
They preventedH6923 me in the dayH3117 of my calamityH343: but the LORDH3068 was my stayH4937.
He brought me forthH3318 also into a large placeH4800; he deliveredH2502 me, because he delightedH2654 in me.
The LORDH3068 rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6664; according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 me.
For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561 from my GodH430.
For all his judgmentsH4941 were before me, and I did not put awayH5493 his statutesH2708 from me.
I was also uprightH8549 before him, and I keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771. {before: Heb. with}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6664, according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 in his eyesightH5869. {in…: Heb. before his eyes}
With the mercifulH2623 thou wilt shew thyself mercifulH2616; with an uprightH8549 manH1399 thou wilt shew thyself uprightH8552;
With the pureH1305 thou wilt shew thyself pureH1305; and with the frowardH6141 thou wilt shew thyself frowardH6617. {shew thyself froward: or, wrestle}
For thou wilt saveH3467 the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971; but wilt bring downH8213 highH7311 looksH5869.
For thou wilt lightH215 my candleH5216: the LORDH3068 my GodH430 will enlightenH5050 my darknessH2822. {candle: or, lamp}
For by thee I have run throughH7323 a troopH1416; and by my GodH430 have I leaped overH1801 a wallH7791. {run…: or, broken}
As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549: the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 is triedH6884: he is a bucklerH4043 to all those that trustH2620 in him. {tried: or, refined}
For who is GodH433 saveH1107 the LORDH3068? or who is a rockH6697 saveH2108 our GodH430?
It is GodH410 that girdethH247 me with strengthH2428, and makethH5414 my wayH1870 perfectH8549.
He makethH7737 my feetH7272 like hinds'H355 feet, and settethH5975 me upon my high placesH1116.
He teachethH3925 my handsH3027 to warH4421, so that a bowH7198 of steelH5154 is brokenH5181 by mine armsH2220.
Thou hast also givenH5414 me the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468: and thy right handH3225 hath holden me upH5582, and thy gentlenessH6037 hath made me greatH7235. {thy gentleness…: or, with thy meekness thou hast multiplied me}
Thou hast enlargedH7337 my stepsH6806 under me, that my feetH7166 did not slipH4571. {my feet: Heb. mine ankles}
I have pursuedH7291 mine enemiesH341, and overtakenH5381 them: neither did I turn againH7725 till they were consumedH3615.
I have woundedH4272 them that they were not ableH3201 to riseH6965: they are fallenH5307 under my feetH7272.
For thou hast girdedH247 me with strengthH2428 unto the battleH4421: thou hast subduedH3766 under me those that rose upH6965 against me. {subdued: Heb. caused to bow}
Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341; that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.
They criedH7768, but there was none to saveH3467 them: even unto the LORDH3068, but he answeredH6030 them not.
Then did I beatH7833 them small as the dustH6083 beforeH6440 the windH7307: I did cast them outH7324 as the dirtH2916 in the streetsH2351.
Thou hast deliveredH6403 me from the strivingsH7379 of the peopleH5971; and thou hast madeH7760 me the headH7218 of the heathenH1471: a peopleH5971 whom I have not knownH3045 shall serveH5647 me.
As soon as they hearH8088+H241 of me, they shall obeyH8085 me: the strangersH1121+H5236 shall submitH3584 themselves unto me. {As soon…: Heb. At the hearing of the ear} {submit…: or, yield feigned obedience} {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
The strangersH1121+H5236 shall fade awayH5034, and be afraidH2727 out of their close placesH4526. {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
The LORDH3068 livethH2416; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; and let the GodH430 of my salvationH3468 be exaltedH7311.
It is GodH410 that avengethH5414+H5360 me, and subduethH1696 the peopleH5971 under me. {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengements for} {subdueth: or, destroyeth}
He deliverethH6403 me from mine enemiesH341: yea, thou liftest me upH7311 above those that rise upH6965 against me: thou hast deliveredH5337 me from the violentH2555 manH376. {violent…: Heb. man of violence}
Therefore will I give thanksH3034 unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the heathenH1471, and sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034. {give…: or, confess}
GreatH1431 deliveranceH3444 giveth he to his kingH4428; and shewethH6213 mercyH2617 to his anointedH4899, to DavidH1732, and to his seedH2233 forH5704 evermoreH5769.

ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have beset me roundH3803.
When the wavesH4867 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, the floodsH5158 of ungodly menH1100 made me afraidH1204; {waves: or, pangs} {ungodly…: Heb. Belial}

And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
And saidH559, I criedH7121 by reason of mine afflictionH6869 unto the LORDH3068, and he heardH6030 me; out of the bellyH990 of hellH7585 criedH7768 I, and thou heardestH8085 my voiceH6963. {by…: or, out of mine affliction} {hell: or, the grave}
For thou hadst castH7993 me into the deepH4688, in the midstH3824 of the seasH3220; and the floodsH5104 compassedH5437 me about: all thy billowsH4867 and thy wavesH1530 passed overH5674 me. {midst: Heb. heart}
Then I saidH559, I am cast outH1644 of thy sightH5869; yet I will lookH5027 againH3254 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964.
The watersH4325 compassed me aboutH661, even to the soulH5315: the depthH8415 closed me round aboutH5437, the weedsH5488 were wrapped aboutH2280 my headH7218.
I went downH3381 to the bottomsH7095 of the mountainsH2022; the earthH776 with her barsH1280 was about me for everH5769: yet hast thou brought upH5927 my lifeH2416 from corruptionH7845, O LORDH3068 my GodH430. {bottoms: Heb. cuttings off} {corruption: or, the pit}
When my soulH5315 faintedH5848 within me I rememberedH2142 the LORDH3068: and my prayerH8605 came inH935 unto thee, into thine holyH6944 templeH1964.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
AndG2532 whileG2089 heG846 yetG2089 spakeG2980, loG2400, JudasG2455, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, cameG2064, andG2532 withG3326 himG846 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 withG3326 swordsG3162 andG2532 stavesG3586, fromG575 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992.
SurelyH403 he hath borneH5375 our griefsH2483, and carriedH5445 our sorrowsH4341: yet we did esteemH2803 him strickenH5060, smittenH5221 of GodH430, and afflictedH6031.
InG1722 that sameG1565 hourG5610 saidG2036 JesusG2424 to the multitudesG3793, Are ye come outG1831 asG5613 againstG1909 a thiefG3027 withG3326 swordsG3162 andG2532 stavesG3586 for to takeG4815 meG3165? I satG2516 dailyG2250+G2596 withG4314 youG5209 teachingG1321 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 ye laidG2902 noG3756 holdG2902 on meG3165.
ThenG5119 saith heG3004 unto themG846, MyG3450 soulG5590 isG2076 exceeding sorrowfulG4036, even untoG2193 deathG2288: tarry yeG3306 hereG5602, andG2532 watchG1127 withG3326 meG1700.
WhenG1161 PilateG4091 sawG1492 thatG3754 he could prevailG5623 nothingG3762, butG235 that ratherG3123 a tumultG2351 was madeG1096, he tookG2983 waterG5204, and washedG633 his handsG5495 beforeG561 the multitudeG3793, sayingG3004, I amG1510 innocentG121 ofG575 the bloodG129 of thisG5127 just personG1342: seeG3700 yeG5210 to it.
AndG2532 he wentG4281 a littleG3397 furtherG4281, and fellG4098 onG1909 hisG846 faceG4383, andG2532 prayedG4336, sayingG3004, O myG3450 FatherG3962, ifG1487 it beG2076 possibleG1415, letG3928 thisG5124 cupG4221 passG3928 fromG575 meG1700: neverthelessG4133 notG3756 asG5613 IG1473 willG2309, butG235 asG5613 thouG4771 wilt.
ThenG2532 answeredG611 allG3956 the peopleG2992, and saidG2036, HisG846 bloodG129 be onG1909 usG2248, andG2532 onG1909 ourG2257 childrenG5043.
AndG2532 he takethG3880 withG3326 himG1438 PeterG4074 andG2532 JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 beganG756 to be sore amazedG1568, andG2532 to be very heavyG85;
AndG1161 they that passed byG3899 reviledG987 himG846, waggingG2795 theirG846 headsG2776,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, Thou that destroyestG2647 the templeG3485, andG2532 buildestG3618 it inG1722 threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 thyselfG4572. IfG1487 thou beG1488 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, come downG2597 fromG575 the crossG4716.
LikewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the chief priestsG749 mockingG1702 him, withG3326 the scribesG1122 andG2532 eldersG4245, saidG3004,
He savedG4982 othersG243; himselfG1438 he cannotG3756+G1410 saveG4982. IfG1487 he beG2076 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474, let himG2597 nowG3568 come downG2597 fromG575 the crossG4716, andG2532 we will believeG4100 himG846.
He trustedG3982 inG1909 GodG2316; let him deliverG4506 himG846 nowG3568, ifG1487 he will haveG2309 himG846: forG1063 he saidG2036+G3754, I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
The thievesG3027 alsoG2532, whichG3588 were crucifiedG4957 with himG846, castG3679 the sameG846 in hisG846 teethG3679.
AndG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, MyG3450 soulG5590 isG2076 exceeding sorrowfulG4036 untoG2193 deathG2288: tarry yeG3306 hereG5602, andG2532 watchG1127.
