1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. 4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; 6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; 7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. 8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth. 9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet. 11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. 14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice. 15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them. 16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity. 25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. 26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. 27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. 28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. 30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. 32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? 33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. 34 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places. 35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. 37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip. 38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them. 39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet. 40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me. 41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad. 44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me. 45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. 46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places. 47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. 48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, 49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name. 51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

Довуднинг зафар қўшиғи
1 Эгамиз Довудни жамики душманлари ва Шоулнинг қўлидан озод қилган куни Довуд Эгамизга атаб шу қўшиқни айтди:
2 “Эгам суянган қоямдир , менинг қалъам, қутқарувчимдир.
3 Ҳа, Худодир менинг қоям, Унда паноҳ топаман.
Удир менинг қалқоним, қудратли нажоткорим ,
Қўрғониму бошпанам.
Халоскорим, зулмдан мени Сен қутқарасан!
4 Эгамга илтижо қиламан,
Ғанимларимдан У мени халос қилади.
Эгамизга ҳамду санолар бўлсин!
5 Ўлим тўлқинлари мени қуршаб олганди,
Бало–қазо селлари даҳшат ила босганди,
6 Ҳа, ўликлар диёрининг тўрлари мени ўраб олганди,
Ўлим ўз тузоғига мени асир қилганди.
7 Кулфатда қолганимда Эгамга илтижо қилдим,
Ҳа, Худойимга илтижо қилдим.
Маъбадидан туриб У овозимни эшитди,
Оҳу нолам қулоғига етиб борди.
8 Ўша замон ер юзи титраб, тебранди,
Осмон пойдевори ларзага келди,
Эгам ғоят ғазабга минган эди.
9 Бурнидан тутун буруқсаб чиқарди,
Оғзидан оташ пишқирарди,
Олдидан қип–қизил чўғ ёғиларди.
10 У кўкларни ёриб, пастга тушди,
Оёқлари остида — қора булут.
11 Эгам бир карубга миниб учиб келди,
Ел қанотлари узра кўринган эди.
12 Атрофини зулмат билан ўради,
Атрофидаги қора булутларни Ўзига чайла қилди.
13 Улкан нур Эгамнинг олдидан чиқди,
Қип–қизил чўғ ёғилиб турди.
14 Эгамнинг овози кўклардан гулдиради,
Худойи Таолонинг садоси эшитилди.
15 Ўқлар отди, чақмоқ чақтириб, ёвларини тирқиратди,
Уларни саросимага солди.
16 Эгамнинг таҳдидларидан,
Унинг қаҳрли нафасидан
Денгизнинг туби кўриниб қолди,
Замин пойдевори яланғоч бўлиб қолди.
17 Эгам юқоридан қўл узатиб, мени тутди,
Баҳайбат сувлардан мени чиқариб олди.
18 Мени кучли ғанимларим қўлидан,
Мендан нафратланган ёвларимдан қутқарди,
Улар мендан кучли эдилар.
19 Қора кунимда улар менга ҳамла қилдилар,
Аммо Эгам менга таянч бўлди.
20 Мени бехавотир жойга чиқариб қўйди,
Мендан мамнун бўлиб, нажот берди.
21 Эгам солиҳлигим учун мени мукофотлайди,
Айбсизлигим учун мени тақдирлайди.
22 Зеро, мен Эгамнинг йўлидан юрдим,
Ахлоқсизлик қилмадим,
Худойимдан юз ўгирмадим.
23 Унинг ҳамма қонун–қоидаларига риоя қилдим,
Фармонларидан бўйин товламадим.
24 Унинг олдида бенуқсон бўлдим,
Гуноҳ қилишдан ўзимни сақладим.
25 Шу сабабли Эгам мени пок деб билди,
Солиҳлигимга яраша мукофот берди.
26 Эй Эгам! Сенга содиқ бўлганга Сен содиқ бўласан,
Яхши инсондан яхшилигингни аямайсан.
27 Пок кишига поклигингни кўрсатасан,
Эгрининг айёрлигини ўз бошига соласан.
28 Аҳли камтарга эса нажот берасан,
Димоғдорни кузатиб, ерга урасан.
29 Эй Эгам! Сен Ўзинг чироғимсан,
Зулматни мен учун ёруғликка айлантирасан.
30 Эй Худойим! Сенга суяниб лашкарни йўқ қиламан,
Сенга суяниб деворлардан ошиб ўтаман.
31 Худонинг йўли комилдир,
Эгамизнинг каломи чин ҳақиқатдир,
Паноҳ излаб борганга У қалқондир.
32 Эгамиздан бошқа Худо ким экан?!
Худойимиздан бўлак суянчиқ Қоя бормикан?!
33 Менинг мустаҳкам қалъам Худодир,
Йўлимни Ўзи бехатар қилади.
34 У оёқларимни кийик оёғидай қилади,
Чўққилар узра мени бехатар юргизади.
35 Қўлларимни жанг қилишга ўргатади,
Бармоқларим бронза ёйни бука олади.
36 Эй Эгам, Сен менга зафар қалқонингни бергансан,
Мададинг эса мени юксалтиради.
37 Оёқларим учун йўлимни кенг қилгансан,
Оёқларим сира оғиб кетмайди.
38 Ғанимларимни қувлаб, ҳалок қилдим,
Уларни йўқ қилмай ортга қайтмадим.
39 Уларни шундай эздимки, ҳеч ҳам тура олмадилар.
Оёқларим остида чўзилиб қолдилар.
40 Сен менга қувват бериб, жангга юбординг,
Менга қарши отланган ёвни олдимда бош эгдирдинг.
41 Ғанимларимни мендан қочирдинг,
Мендан нафратланганларни мен йўқ қилдим.
42 Улар мадад сўраб фарёд қилдилар,
Нажоткорни эса тополмадилар,
Эй Эгам, ғанимларим Сенга ёлвордилар,
Аммо Сен жавоб бермадинг.
43 Ердаги тупроқ сингари уларни эздим,
Йўлдаги лойдек тепкилаб босдим.
44 Сен мени халқим ғийбатидан халос қилдинг,
Мени элларга йўлбошчи қилиш учун сақладинг.
Ўзим танимаган элат менга қарам бўлди.
45 Ёт эллар менга бўйин эгдилар,
Овозимни эшитибоқ қулоқ тутдилар.
46 Ёт эллар ҳолсизланиб йиқилдилар,
Қалтираб манзилидан чиқиб қочдилар.
47 Эгам барҳаётдир! Суянган Қоямга олқишлар бўлсин!
Нажотим қояси — Худойим юксалсин!
48 Қасдимни олган Худодир,
Халқларни менга У тобе қилган.
49 Мени ғанимларимдан У қутқарган,
Босқинчилардан мени устун қилган,
Мени зўравонлар қўлидан халос этган.
50 Шу боис, эй Эгам, халқлар ичра
Сенга ҳамдлар айтаман!
Сени куйлаб сано айтаман!
51 Эгамиз Ўз шоҳини улуғ зафарларга эриштиради,
Ўзи танлаган шоҳ Довуд ва унинг наслига
То абад содиқ севгисини кўрсатади.”
