Then he stretched out the heaven, and came down, - and, thick gloom, was under his feet;

Made darkness his hiding-place, Round about him - his pavilion, Darkness of waters, clouds of vapours.

Out of the brightness before him, his clouds rolled along, hail, and live coals of fire.

Then did Yahweh thunder in the heavens, and the Highest uttered his voice, - hail, and live coals of fire.

And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them, yea, lightnings, he shot out, and confused them.

He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:

For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:

Yahweh therefore repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the pureness of my hands, before his eyes.

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.

Who hath made great the victories of his King, - and shown lovingkindness to his Anointed One, To David and to his Seed, Unto times age-abiding.

The heavens, are telling the glory of GOD, And, the work of his hands, the expanse is declaring;

And, he, is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiceth as a hero to run a race:

From one end of the heavens, is his going forth, and, his circuit, to the other end thereof - and, nothing, is hid from his glowing heat.

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, - He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. Selah.

For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.

Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;

Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, - Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.

All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!
