translations with a Hebraic voice (2 Samuel 22:3)

Some translations specifically reproduce the voice of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament / Hebrew Bible.

English:
My God is my rock, in whom I seek-refuge,
my shield, the horn of my deliverance,
my secure-height, my place-of-retreat,
my deliverer — from treachery you deliver me!

Source: Everett Fox 2014

German:
mein Gott, mein Fels, an den ich mich schmiege,
mein Schild, Horn meiner Freiheit,
mein Horst, meine Zuflucht,
mein Befreier,
von der Unbill befreist du mich.

Source: Buber / Rosenzweig 1976

French:
Elohîms de mon roc, je m’abrite en lui.
Mon bouclier, la corne de mon salut,
ma culmination, ma fuite, mon sauveur,
tu me sauves de la violence.

Source: Chouraqui 1985
