II - Chapter 22

1David addressed the words of this song to Hashem, after Hashem had saved him from the hands of all his enemies and from the hands of Shaul.

vai-da-BAYR da-VEED la-a-do-NAI et di-v'-RAY ha-shee-RA ha-ZOT, b'-YOM hit-TSEEL a-do-NAI o-TO mi-KAF kol o-y'-VA-vav u-mi-KAF sha-UL

2He said: Hashem, my crag, my fastness, my deliverer!

va-YO-mar, a-do-NAI sal-EE u-m'-tzu-da-TEE u-m'-fal-TEE-LEE

בוַיֹּאמַ֑ר יְהֹוָ֛ה סַֽלְעִ֥י וּמְצֻדָתִ֖י וּמְפַלְטִי־לִֽי׃

3O Hashem, the rock wherein I take shelter: My shield, my mighty champion, my fortress and refuge! My savior, You who rescue me from violence!

4All praise! I called on Hashem, And I was delivered from my enemies.

דמְהֻלָּ֖ל אֶקְרָ֣א יְהֹוָ֑ה וּמֵאֹיְבַ֖י אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃

5For the breakers of Death encompassed me, The torrents of Belial terrified me;

6The snares of Sheol encircled me, The coils of Death engulfed me.

7In my anguish I called on Hashem, Cried out to my God; In His Abode He heard my voice, My cry entered His ears.

8Then the earth rocked and quaked, The foundations of heaven shook Rocked by His indignation.

9Smoke went up from His nostrils, From His mouth came devouring fire; Live coals blazed forth from Him.

12He made pavilions of darkness about Him, Dripping clouds, huge thunderheads;

14Hashem thundered forth from heaven, The Most High sent forth His voice;

15He let loose bolts, and scattered them; Lightning, and put them to rout.

16The bed of the sea was exposed, The foundations of the world were laid bare By the mighty roaring of Hashem, At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

17He reached down from on high, He took me, Drew me out of the mighty waters;

18He rescued me from my enemy so strong, From foes too mighty for me.

19They attacked me on my day of calamity, But Hashem was my stay.

20He brought me out to freedom, He rescued me because He was pleased with me.

22For I have kept the ways of Hashem And have not been guilty before my God;

23I am mindful of all His rules And have not departed from His laws.
