1. And Dovid spoke unto Hashem the devarim of this shirah (song) in the day that Hashem had delivered him out of the palm of all his oyevim (enemies) and out of the palm of Sha'ul:
2. And he said, Hashem is my rock, and my matzadah, and my deliverer;
3. The Elohei (G-d of) my Tzur; in Him will I trust; He is my mogen, and the keren of my Salvation, my stronghold, and my refuge, my Moshia; Thou savest me from chamas.
4. I will call on Hashem, Who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my oyevim.
5. When the waves of mavet (death) compassed me, the floods of scoundrels overwhelm me;
6. The chevlei Sheol (cords of Sheol) encompassed me; the snares of mavet confronted me;
7. In my distress I called upon Hashem, and cried to Elohai; and He did hear my voice out of His Heikhal, and my cry did enter into His oznayim.
8. Then ha'aretz shook and trembled; the mosedot (foundations) of Shomayim moved and shook, because He was in wrath.
9. There went up an ashan (smoke) out of His nostrils, and eish out of His peh (mouth) devoured; coals were kindled by it.
10. He bowed HaShomayim also, and came down; and a dark cloud was under His raglayim.
11. And He rode upon a keruv, and did fly; and He was seen upon the wings of the ruach.
12. And He made choshech sukkot round about Him, dark mayim, and thick clouds of the skies.
13. Through the radiant brightness before Him were coals of eish kindled.
14. Hashem thundered from Shomayim, and Elyon uttered His voice.
15. He sent out khitzim, and scattered them; lightning, and vanquished them.
16. And the channels of the yam appeared, the mosedot (foundations) of the tevel (world) were uncovered, at the rebuking of Hashem, at the blast of the ruach of His nostrils.
17. He sent from on High, He took me; He drew me out of mayim rabbim;
18. He delivered me from my strong oyev, and from them that hated me; for they were too strong for me.
