Psalms 18

  1. I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  3. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 🔗
  4. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 🔗
  5. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  7. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 🔗
  8. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 🔗
  9. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 🔗
  10. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 🔗
  11. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 🔗
  12. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 🔗
  13. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 🔗
  14. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  16. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 🔗
  17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 🔗
  18. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 🔗
  19. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 🔗
  20. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 🔗
  21. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 🔗
  22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 🔗
  23. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 🔗
  24. Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 🔗
  25. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 🔗
  26. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 🔗
  27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 🔗
  28. For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 🔗
  29. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  31. For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 🔗
  32. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 🔗
  33. He maketh my feet like hinds2019 feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 🔗
  34. He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  36. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 🔗
  37. I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 🔗
  38. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 🔗
  39. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 🔗
  40. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 🔗
  41. They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 🔗
  42. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  44. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 🔗
  45. The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 🔗
  46. The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 🔗
  47. It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  49. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 🔗
  50. Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. 🔗
