| 18:1 |
I love you, O LORD, my strength.
|
| 18:2 |
The LORD is my rock, 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, so I shall be saved from my enemies.
|
| 18:4 |
The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of perdition assailed me;
|
| 18:5 |
the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
|
| 18:6 |
In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
|
| 18:7 |
Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry.
|
| 18:8 |
Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.
|
| 18:9 |
He bowed the heavens, and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.
|
| 18:10 |
He rode on a cherub, and flew; he came swiftly upon the wings of the wind.
|
| 18:11 |
He made darkness his covering around him, his canopy thick clouds dark with water.
|
| 18:12 |
Out of the brightness before him there broke through his clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
|
| 18:13 |
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice.
|
| 18:14 |
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings, and routed them.
|
| 18:15 |
Then the channels of the sea were seen, 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 reached down from on high, he took me; he drew me out of mighty 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 support.
|
| 18:19 |
He brought me out into a broad place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
|
| 18:20 |
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he 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 his statutes I did not put away from me.
|
| 18:23 |
I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from guilt.
|
| 18:24 |
Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
|
| 18:25 |
With the loyal you show yourself loyal; with the blameless you show yourself blameless;
|
| 18:26 |
with the pure you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you show yourself perverse.
|
| 18:27 |
For you deliver a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down.
|
| 18:28 |
It is you who light my lamp; the LORD, my God, lights up my darkness.
|
| 18:29 |
By you I can crush a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
|
| 18:30 |
This God-- his way is perfect; the promise of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
|
| 18:31 |
For who is God except the LORD? And who is a rock besides our God?--
|
| 18:32 |
the God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe.
|
| 18:33 |
He made my feet like the feet of a deer, and set me secure on the heights.
|
| 18:34 |
He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
|
| 18:35 |
You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand has supported me; your help has made me great.
|
| 18:36 |
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.
|
| 18:37 |
I pursued my enemies and overtook them; and did not turn back until they were consumed.
|
| 18:38 |
I struck them down, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.
|
| 18:39 |
For you girded me with strength for the battle; you made my assailants sink under me.
|
| 18:40 |
You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed.
|
| 18:41 |
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them; they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
|
| 18:42 |
I beat them fine, like dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets.
|
| 18:43 |
You delivered me from strife with the peoples; you made me head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
|
| 18:44 |
As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me.
|
| 18:45 |
Foreigners lost heart, and came trembling out of their strongholds.
|
| 18:46 |
The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,
|
| 18:47 |
the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me;
|
| 18:48 |
who delivered me from my enemies; indeed, you exalted me above my adversaries; you delivered me from the violent.
|
| 18:49 |
For this I will extol you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing praises to your name.
|
| 18:50 |
Great triumphs he gives to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
