PS-18:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servantof the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. PS-18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower. PS-18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. PS-18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. PS-18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. PS-18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears. PS-18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. PS-18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. PS-18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was] under his feet. PS-18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. PS-18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies. PS-18:12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire. PS-18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire. PS-18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. PS-18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. PS-18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. PS-18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. PS-18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. PS-18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. PS-18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. PS-18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. PS-18:22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. PS-18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. PS-18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. PS-18:25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright; PS-18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself froward. PS-18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. PS-18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. PS-18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. PS-18:30 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him. PS-18:31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God? PS-18:32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. PS-18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places. PS-18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. PS-18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. PS-18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. PS-18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. PS-18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. PS-18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. PS-18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. PS-18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not. PS-18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. PS-18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me. PS-18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. PS-18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. PS-18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. PS-18:47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. PS-18:48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. PS-18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, |
