18:1 |
"I love You, O Lord, my strength."
|
18:2 |
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
|
18:3 |
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.
|
18:4 |
The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.
|
18:5 |
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
|
18:6 |
In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.
|
18:7 |
Then the earth shook and quaked; And the foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
|
18:8 |
Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it.
|
18:9 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet.
|
18:10 |
He rode upon a cherub and flew; And He sped upon the wings of the wind.
|
18:11 |
He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
|
18:12 |
From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and coals of fire.
|
18:13 |
The Lord also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
|
18:14 |
He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.
|
18:15 |
Then the channels of water appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare At Your rebuke, O Lord, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
|
18:16 |
He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
|
18:17 |
He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
|
18:18 |
They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my stay.
|
18:19 |
He brought me forth also into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
|
18:20 |
The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
|
18:21 |
For I have kept the ways of the Lord, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
|
18:22 |
For all His ordinances were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me.
|
18:23 |
I was also blameless with Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity.
|
18:24 |
Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
|
18:25 |
With the kind You show Yourself kind; With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
|
18:26 |
With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
|
18:27 |
For You save an afflicted people, But haughty eyes You abase.
|
18:28 |
For You light my lamp; The Lord my God illumines my darkness.
|
18:29 |
For by You I can run upon a troop; And by my God I can leap over a wall.
|
18:30 |
As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
|
18:31 |
For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God,
|
18:32 |
The God who girds me with strength And makes my way blameless?
|
18:33 |
He makes my feet like hinds' feet, And sets me upon my high places.
|
18:34 |
He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
|
18:35 |
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness makes me great.
|
18:36 |
You enlarge my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.
|
18:37 |
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
|
18:38 |
I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise; They fell under my feet.
|
18:39 |
For You have girded me with strength for battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
|
18:40 |
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, And I destroyed those who hated me.
|
18:41 |
They cried for help, but there was none to save, Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
|
18:42 |
Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind; I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.
|
18:43 |
You have delivered me from the contentions of the people; You have placed me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.
|
18:44 |
As soon as they hear, they obey me; Foreigners submit to me.
|
18:45 |
Foreigners fade away, And come trembling out of their fortresses.
|
18:46 |
The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,
|
18:47 |
The God who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me.
|
18:48 |
He delivers me from my enemies; Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man.
|
18:49 |
Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O Lord, And I will sing praises to Your name.
|
18:50 |
He gives great deliverance to His king, And shows lovingkindness to His anointed, To David and his descendants forever.
