God

As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;

To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.

I--I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.

Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.

Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,

From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion is in life, And with Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied with sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.

I--in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, with Thy form!

To the Overseer. --By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: --I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Jehovah is my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God is my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

The `Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.

And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake--because He hath wrath.

Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness is under His feet.

And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.

He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.

And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.

And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.

And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.

He sendeth from above--He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
