|
|
31. For who is God besides Jehovah? Or who is a Rock except our God?
|
31. For H3588 who H4310 is God H433 save H4480 H1107 the LORD H3068 ? or who H4310 is a rock H6697 save H2108 our God H430 ?
|
|
32. It is God who girds me with strength and gives my way to be perfect;
|
32. It is God H410 that girdeth H247 me with strength H2428 , and maketh H5414 my way H1870 perfect H8549 .

|
34. He teacheth H3925 my hands H3027 to war H4421 , so that a bow H7198 of steel H5154 is broken H5181 by mine arms H2220 .
|
|
35. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your right hand holds me up; and Your condescension has made me great.
|
35. Thou hast also given H5414 me the shield H4043 of thy salvation H3468 : and thy right hand H3225 hath holden me up H5582 , and thy gentleness H6038 hath made me great H7235 .
|
|
36. You have made a wide place under me for my steps, so that my ankles have not slipped.
|
36. Thou hast enlarged H7337 my steps H6806 under H8478 me , that my feet H7166 did not H3808 slip H4571 .
|
|
37. I have pursued my enemies and have overtaken them; nor did I turn till they were finished.
|
37. I have pursued H7291 mine enemies H341 , and overtaken H5381 them: neither H3808 did I turn again H7725 till H5704 they were consumed H3615 .
|
|
38. I have shattered them, and they cannot rise up; they fell under my feet.
|
38. I have wounded H4272 them that they were not H3808 able H3201 to rise H6965 : they are fallen H5307 under H8478 my feet H7272 .
|
|
39. And You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have bowed under me those rising against me.
|
39. For thou hast girded H247 me with strength H2428 unto the battle H4421 : thou hast subdued H3766 under H8478 me those that rose up H6965 against me.
|
|
40. And you have given me the neck of my enemies that I might cut off those hating me.
|
40. Thou hast also given H5414 me the necks H6203 of mine enemies H341 ; that I might destroy H6789 them that hate H8130 me.
|
|
41. They cried, but no one is there to save; to Jehovah, but He did not answer them.
|
41. They cried H7768 , but there was none H369 to save H3467 them: even unto H5921 the LORD H3068 , but he answered H6030 them not H3808 .
|
|
42. And I crushed them like the dust before the wind; I emptied them out like the mire of the streets.
|
42. Then did I beat them small H7833 as the dust H6083 before H5921 H6440 the wind H7307 : I did cast them out H7324 as the dirt H2916 in the streets H2351 .
|
|
43. You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me head of the nations; a people I have not known shall serve me.
|
43. Thou hast delivered H6403 me from the strivings H4480 H7379 of the people H5971 ; and thou hast made H7760 me the head H7218 of the heathen H1471 : a people H5971 whom I have not H3808 known H3045 shall serve H5647 me.
|
|
44. At the hearing of the ear they listen to me; the sons of foreigners shall bow down to me.
|
44. As soon as they hear H8088 H241 of me , they shall obey H8085 me : the strangers H1121 H5236 shall submit H3584 themselves unto me.
|
|
45. The sons of foreigners shall faint and come trembling out of their strongholds.
|
45. The strangers H1121 H5236 shall fade away H5034 , and be afraid H2727 out of H4480 their close places H4526 .
|
|
46. Jehovah lives! And blessed be my Rock! And let the God of my salvation be exalted!
|
46. The LORD H3068 liveth H2416 ; and blessed H1288 be my rock H6697 ; and let the God H430 of my salvation H3468 be exalted H7311 .
|
|
47. He is the God who avenges me, and speaks to people under me.
|
47. It is God H410 that avengeth H5414 H5360 me , and subdueth H1696 the people H5971 under H8478 me.
|
|
48. He delivers me from my enemies; yea, You lift me up from among those rising up against me. You have delivered me from the violent man.
|
48. He delivereth H6403 me from mine enemies H4480 H341 : yea H637 , thou liftest me up H7311 above H4480 those that rise up H6965 against me : thou hast delivered H5337 me from the violent H2555 man H4480 H376 .
|
|
49. On account of this I will extol You, O Jehovah, among the nations, and I will sing praises to Your name,
|
49. Therefore H5921 H3651 will I give thanks H3034 unto thee , O LORD H3068 , among the heathen H1471 , and sing praises H2167 unto thy name H8034 .
|
|
50. magnifying salvation to His king, and working mercy to His anointed, to David and to his Seed forever.
|
50. Great H1431 deliverance H3444 giveth he to his king H4428 ; and showeth H6213 mercy H2617 to his anointed H4899 , to David H1732 , and to his seed H2233 forevermore H5704 H5769 .
