And David praised in a prophetic spirit before the LORD with the words of this praise song, concerning all the days that the LORD saved Israel from the hand of all their enemies, and also David from the sword of Saul.

And he said, “The LORD is my strength and my trust and the one who rescues me.

My God, who chose me and drew me near to his fear. My strength, from before whom strength and salvation were given to me to overpower my enemies. My trust, on whose speech I trust in times of distress, shielding me against my enemies; He promised to raise my horn in his salvation. My support, whose speech was supporting me, when I was fleeing before my pursuers. My salvation from my enemies, and He saved me even from the hand of all robbers.”

And David said, “I am praying in a praise song before the LORD, who in all times saved me from my enemies.

For distress surrounded me, like a woman who sits on the birth stool, and she lacks the strength to give birth, and she is in danger of dying. A company of sinners terrified me,

armies of the wicked surrounded me, those who were armed with murder weapons confronted me.”

David said, “When I am in distress, I pray before the LORD and before my God I plea. And He accepts my prayer from his temple, my request is done before Him.

The earth was stirred and shaken, the foundations of the heavens trembled. They were bent down, because his anger was fierce.

The pride of Pharaoh went up like smoke before Him. Therefore, He sent his anger, like a burning fire which came destroying from before Him; his threat was, like coals of fire, blazing by his speech.

And He bent down the heavens and his Glory was revealed, and a dark cloud covered before Him.

And He revealed himself in his heroism upon the swift cherubim, and he rode in his strength on the wings of the wind.

He made his Presence reside in a thick cloud, a glorious cloud was all around Him, bringing down mighty waters from a mass of swift clouds in the world’s height.

From the splendour of his Glory the heavens of heavens were shining. His threat was, like coals of fire, blazing by his speech.

The LORD thundered from heaven, the Most High raised his speech.

He sent his plague like arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confused them.

The depths of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were revealed, at the threat from before the LORD, from the speech of his angry strength.

A strong king sent his prophets, He who dwells in strength on high led me out, He rescued me from many nations.

He rescued me from my haters, for they overpowered me; from my enemies, for they challenged me.

They confronted me on the day of my expulsion, but the speech of the LORD was supporting me.

He brought me forth into an open place, He saved me because He chose me.”

David said, “The LORD will recompense me according to my innocence, according to the purity of my hands He will repay me.

For I kept the ways which are right before the LORD, and have not walked in wickedness before my God,

for all his judgments were revealed before me to do them, and his statutes – I did not depart from them.

I was perfect in his fear, and I was keeping my soul from guilt,

and the LORD repaid me according to my innocence, according to my purity before his speech.

Abraham, who was found loyal before Thee – therefore, Thou hast increasingly acted loyally with his seed. Isaac, who was perfect in thy fear – therefore, Thou hast perfected the speech of thy pleasure with him.

Jacob, who was walking in purity before Thee – Thou hast chosen his sons from all the peoples, Thou hast separated his seed from all the rubbish. Pharaoh and the Egyptians, who were planning plans against thy people – Thou hast confused them according to their plans.

And the people of the House of Israel, who are called ‘a poor people’ in this world, Thou wilt save, but by thy speech Thou wilt humiliate the strong, who were overpowering them.

For Thou art Master, the light of Israel is the LORD. And the LORD will bring me out of the darkness to the light, He will show me the world to come for the righteous.

For by your speech I multiply armies, by the speech of my God I subdue all strong fortified cities,

the God, whose way is straight. The law of the LORD is choice, a strength is He for all who trust upon his speech.

Therefore, on account of the miraculous salvation that Thou wilt provide for thy Anointed One and for the remnant of thy people that will remain, let all the nations, peoples and languages confess and say, ‘There is no God but the LORD, for there is no one beside Thee.’ And let thy people say, ‘There is no one who is strong, but our God.’

The God, who helps me with strength, and makes my way perfect;

making my feet as swift as the hinds, and He sets me on my stronghold;

training my hands to do battle, and strengthening my arms like a bow of bronze.

Thou hast given me strength, Thou hast saved me, and with thy speech Thou hast made me great.

Thou hast made my step great before me, and my knee did not shake.

I pursued my haters and destroyed them, and I did not turn back until I finished them.

I destroyed and finished them, so that they could not rise, the killed ones fell under the soles of my feet.

Thou hast helped me with strength to fight the battle, Thou hast scattered under me nations which rose to harm me.

Thou hast scattered before me my haters, who turned their back, my enemies, and I destroyed them.

They asked for help, but there was no saviour, and they prayed before the LORD, but their prayer was not accepted.

I trampled them like the dust of the earth, like the dirt in the streets I stepped on them; I crushed them.

Thou wilt save me from the strife of the nation. Thou wilt appoint me head of the nations; a nation that I do not know will be subjected to me.

Sons of the nations will feign to me; as soon as their ear hears, they will listen to me.

Sons of the nations will perish, and they will come trembling out of their palaces.

Therefore, on account of the miraculous salvation that Thou didst for thy people, they gave thanks and said, ‘Existing is the LORD, and blessed be the Strong One, from before Whom strength and salvation was given to us, and exalted be God, the strength of our salvation.’

The God who took vengeance for me, and scattered under me the nations that were rising to harm me.

He saved me from my haters, He made me overpower those who were rising to harm me, He will save me from Gog and the armies of the robbing nations that are with him.

Therefore, I will give thanks before Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and to thy name I will say praise.

[He who] gives great salvation with his king, and shows goodness to his Anointed One, to David and to his seed for ever.”
