1And David spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2and he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
3God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My saviour, thou savest me from violence.
4I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:
6The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.
7In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears.
