4 [the one] to be praised I called out to Yahweh and from enemies my I am delivered.
Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
5 For they surrounded me [the] breakers of death torrents of worthlessness they overwhelmed me.
For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me. (Sheol h7585)
7 When it was distress to me I called out to Yahweh and to God my I called out and he heard from temple his voice my and cry for help my [was] in ears his.
In 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.
8 (And it shook back and forth *QK) and it quaked the earth [the] foundations of the heavens they trembled and they shook back and forth for it burned to him.
Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
9 It went up smoke in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.

At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
14 He thundered from heaven Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave voice his.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
15 And he sent arrows and he scattered them [with] lightning (and he routed [them]. *QK)

26 With a faithful [person] you show yourself faithful with a mighty [man] blameless you show yourself blameless.
With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
27 With [one who] purifies himself you show yourself pure and with a perverse [person] you show yourself twisted.
With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.

For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
33 God [is] place of refuge my strength and he set free a blameless [person] (way my. *QK)
The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
34 [he is] making (Feet my *QK) like does and on high places my he makes stand firm me.

They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
43 And I beat fine them like [the] dust of [the] earth like [the] mud of [the] streets I pulverized them I beat out them.
Then 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.
44 And you rescued me from [the] strifes of people my you kept me to [the] head of [the] nations a people [whom] not I knew they served me.
Thou 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.
45 Sons of foreignness they cringed to me to hear an ear they became obedient to me.
The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46 Sons of foreignness they withered and they may girdethemselves from strongholds their.
The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
47 [is] living Yahweh and [be] blessed rock my and may he be exalted [the] God of [the] rock of salvation my.
The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
48 God [is] the [one who] gives vengeance to me and [is] bringing down peoples under me.
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
49 And [is] bringing out me from enemies my and from [those who] rise against me you lift up me from a man of violence you rescue me.
And 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.
50 There-fore I will give thanks you O Yahweh among the nations and to name your I will sing praise.
Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
51 ([the] tower *QK) Of [the] salvation of king his and [who] does covenant loyalty to anointed his to David and to offspring his until perpetuity.
A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
