Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

O God, you have taught me since I was young, and I am still declaring your amazing deeds.

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

I have not turned away from your ordinances, for you have taught me.

For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth.

Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Yahweh my God commanded me, that you should do so in the middle of the land where you go in to possess it.

David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,and he said:“ Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me.In my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.He made darkness a shelter around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.Yahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and confused them.Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by Yahweh’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.For I have kept Yahweh’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.You will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.For who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.They looked, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”

David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them,“ As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.

Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”David said,“ Yahweh who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David,“ Go! Yahweh will be with you.”

He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed- Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Yahweh, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,saying,“ I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,“ Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.Ascribe to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations,“ Yahweh reigns!”Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.Say,“ Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said,“ Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
