Psalms 18:1 I will love You, O LORD, my strength. Psalms 18:2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalms 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies. Psalms 18:4 The pangs of death surrounded me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. Psalms 18:5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. Psalms 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears. Psalms 18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry. Psalms 18:8 Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it. Psalms 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet. Psalms 18:10 And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind. Psalms 18:11 He made darkness His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters And thick clouds of the skies. Psalms 18:12 From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire. Psalms 18:13 The LORD thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. Psalms 18:14 He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe, Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them. Psalms 18:15 Then the channels of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At Your rebuke, O LORD, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. Psalms 18:16 He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. Psalms 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me, For they were too strong for me. Psalms 18:18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the LORD was my support. Psalms 18:19 He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me. Psalms 18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. Psalms 18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, And have not wickedly departed from my God. Psalms 18:22 For all His judgments were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me. Psalms 18:23 I was also blameless before Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity. Psalms 18:24 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight. Psalms 18:25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; Psalms 18:26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. Psalms 18:27 For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks. Psalms 18:28 For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalms 18:29 For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. Psalms 18:30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. Psalms 18:31 For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? Psalms 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect. Psalms 18:33 He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. Psalms 18:34 He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. Psalms 18:35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. Psalms 18:36 You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip. Psalms 18:37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed. Psalms 18:38 I have wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet. Psalms 18:39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. Psalms 18:40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me. Psalms 18:41 They cried out, but there was none to save; Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them. Psalms 18:42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like dirt in the streets. Psalms 18:43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me the head of the nations; A people I have not known shall serve me. Psalms 18:44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me. Psalms 18:45 The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts. Psalms 18:46 The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted. Psalms 18:47 It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me; Psalms 18:48 He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man. Psalms 18:49 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name. Psalms 18:50 Great deliverance He gives to His king, And shows mercy to His anointed, To David and his descendants forevermore. (NKJV)
