Psalms 18:2-50

The LORD
<03068>
[is] my rock
<05553>_,
and my fortress
<04686>_,
and my deliverer
<06403> (8764)_;
my God
<0410>_,
my strength
<06697>_,
in whom I will trust
<02620> (8799)_;
my buckler
<04043>_,
and the horn
<07161>
of my salvation
<03468>_,
[and] my high tower
<04869>_.
{my strength: Heb. my rock}
I will call
<07121> (8799)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
[who is worthy] to be praised
<01984> (8794)_:
so shall I be saved
<03467> (8735)
from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
The sorrows
<02256>
of death
<04194>
compassed
<0661> (8804)
me, and the floods
<05158>
of ungodly men
<01100>
made me afraid
<01204> (8762)_.
{ungodly men: Heb. Belial}
The sorrows
<02256>
of hell
<07585>
compassed me about
<05437> (8804)_:
the snares
<04170>
of death
<04194>
prevented
<06923> (8765)
me. {sorrows: or, cords}
In my distress
<06862>
I called
<07121> (8799)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
and cried
<07768> (8762)
unto my God
<0430>_:
he heard
<08085> (8799)
my voice
<06963>
out of his temple
<01964>_,
and my cry
<07775>
came
<0935> (8799)
before
<06440>
him, [even] into his ears
<0241>_.
Then the earth
<0776>
shook
<01607> (8799)
and trembled
<07493> (8799)_;
the foundations
<04146>
also of the hills
<02022>
moved
<07264> (8799)
and were shaken
<01607> (8691)_,
because he was wroth
<02734> (8804)_.
There went up
<05927> (8804)
a smoke
<06227>
out of his nostrils
<0639>_,
and fire
<0784>
out of his mouth
<06310>
devoured
<0398> (8799)_:
coals
<01513>
were kindled
<01197> (8804)
by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by his, etc}
He bowed
<05186> (8799)
the heavens
<08064>
also, and came down
<03381> (8799)_:
and darkness
<06205>
[was] under his feet
<07272>_.
And he rode
<07392> (8799)
upon a cherub
<03742>_,
and did fly
<05774> (8799)_:
yea, he did fly
<01675> (8799)
upon the wings
<03671>
of the wind
<07307>_.
He made
<07896> (8799)
darkness
<02822>
his secret place
<05643>_;
his pavilion
<05521>
round about
<05439>
him [were] dark
<02824>
waters
<04325>
[and] thick clouds
<05645>
of the skies
<07834>_.
At the brightness
<05051>
[that was] before him his thick clouds
<05645>
passed
<05674> (8804)_,
hail
<01259>
[stones] and coals
<01513>
of fire
<0784>_.
The LORD
<03068>
also thundered
<07481> (8686)
in the heavens
<08064>_,
and the Highest
<05945>
gave
<05414> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_;
hail
<01259>
[stones] and coals
<01513>
of fire
<0784>_.
Yea, he sent out
<07971> (8799)
his arrows
<02671>_,
and scattered
<06327> (8686)
them; and he shot out
<07232> (8804)
lightnings
<01300>_,
and discomfited
<02000> (8799)
them.
Then the channels
<0650>
of waters
<04325>
were seen
<07200> (8735)_,
and the foundations
<04146>
of the world
<08398>
were discovered
<01540> (8735)
at thy rebuke
<01606>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
at the blast
<05397>
of the breath
<07307>
of thy nostrils
<0639>_.
He sent
<07971> (8799)
from above
<04791>_,
he took
<03947> (8799)
me, he drew
<04871> (8686)
me out of many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_.
{many: or, great}
He delivered
<05337> (8686)
me from my strong
<05794>
enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
and from them which hated
<08130> (8802)
me: for they were too strong
<0553> (8804)
for me.
They prevented
<06923> (8762)
me in the day
<03117>
of my calamity
<0343>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
was my stay
<04937>_.
He brought me forth
<03318> (8686)
also into a large place
<04800>_;
he delivered
<02502> (8762)
me, because he delighted
<02654> (8804)
in me.
The LORD
<03068>
rewarded
<01580> (8799)
me according to my righteousness
<06664>_;
according to the cleanness
<01252>
of my hands
<03027>
hath he recompensed
<07725> (8686)
me.
For I have kept
<08104> (8804)
the ways
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and have not wickedly departed
<07561> (8804)
from my God
<0430>_.
For all his judgments
<04941>
[were] before me, and I did not put away
<05493> (8686)
his statutes
<02708>
from me.
I was also upright
<08549>
before him, and I kept
<08104> (8691)
myself from mine iniquity
<05771>_.
{before: Heb. with}
Therefore hath the LORD
<03068>
recompensed
<07725> (8686)
me according to my righteousness
<06664>_,
according to the cleanness
<01252>
of my hands
<03027>
in his eyesight
<05869>_.
{in...: Heb. before his eyes}
With the merciful
<02623>
thou wilt shew thyself merciful
<02616> (8691)_;
with an upright
<08549>
man
<01399>
thou wilt shew thyself upright
<08552> (8691)_;
With the pure
<01305> (8737)
thou wilt shew thyself pure
<01305> (8691)_;
and with the froward
<06141>
thou wilt shew thyself froward
<06617> (8691)_.
{shew thyself froward: or, wrestle}
For thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)
the afflicted
<06041>
people
<05971>_;
but wilt bring down
<08213> (8686)
high
<07311> (8802)
looks
<05869>_.
For thou wilt light
<0215> (8686)
my candle
<05216>_:
the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>
will enlighten
<05050> (8686)
my darkness
<02822>_.
{candle: or, lamp}
For by thee I have run through
<07323> (8799)
a troop
<01416>_;
and by my God
<0430>
have I leaped over
<01801> (8762)
a wall
<07791>_.
{run...: or, broken}
[As for] God
<0410>_,
his way
<01870>
[is] perfect
<08549>_:
the word
<0565>
of the LORD
<03068>
is tried
<06884> (8803)_:
he [is] a buckler
<04043>
to all those that trust
<02620> (8802)
in him. {tried: or, refined}
For who [is] God
<0433>
save
<01107>
the LORD
<03068>_?
or who [is] a rock
<06697>
save
<02108>
our God
<0430>_?
[It is] God
<0410>
that girdeth
<0247> (8764)
me with strength
<02428>_,
and maketh
<05414> (8799)
my way
<01870>
perfect
<08549>_.
He maketh
<07737> (8764)
my feet
<07272>
like hinds
<0355>_'
[feet], and setteth
<05975> (8686)
me upon my high places
<01116>_.
He teacheth
<03925> (8764)
my hands
<03027>
to war
<04421>_,
so that a bow
<07198>
of steel
<05154>
is broken
<05181> (8765)
by mine arms
<02220>_.
Thou hast also given
<05414> (8799)
me the shield
<04043>
of thy salvation
<03468>_:
and thy right hand
<03225>
hath holden me up
<05582> (8799)_,
and thy gentleness
<06037>
hath made me great
<07235> (8686)_.
{thy gentleness...: or, with thy meekness thou hast multiplied me}
Thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8686)
my steps
<06806>
under me, that my feet
<07166>
did not slip
<04571> (8804)_.
{my feet: Heb. mine ankles}
I have pursued
<07291> (8799)
mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and overtaken
<05381> (8686)
them: neither did I turn again
<07725> (8799)
till they were consumed
<03615> (8763)_.
I have wounded
<04272> (8799)
them that they were not able
<03201> (8799)
to rise
<06965> (8800)_:
they are fallen
<05307> (8799)
under my feet
<07272>_.
For thou hast girded
<0247> (8762)
me with strength
<02428>
unto the battle
<04421>_:
thou hast subdued
<03766> (8686)
under me those that rose up
<06965> (8801)
against me. {subdued: Heb. caused to bow}
Thou hast also given
<05414> (8804)
me the necks
<06203>
of mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
that I might destroy
<06789> (8686)
them that hate
<08130> (8764)
me.
They cried
<07768> (8762)_,
but [there was] none to save
<03467> (8688)
[them: even] unto the LORD
<03068>_,
but he answered
<06030> (8804)
them not.
Then did I beat
<07833> (8799)
them small as the dust
<06083>
before
<06440>
the wind
<07307>_:
I did cast them out
<07324> (8686)
as the dirt
<02916>
in the streets
<02351>_.
Thou hast delivered
<06403> (8762)
me from the strivings
<07379>
of the people
<05971>_;
[and] thou hast made
<07760> (8799)
me the head
<07218>
of the heathen
<01471>_:
a people
<05971>
[whom] I have not known
<03045> (8804)
shall serve
<05647> (8799)
me.
As soon as they hear
<08088> <0241>
of me, they shall obey
<08085> (8735)
me: the strangers
<01121> <05236>
shall submit
<03584> (8762)
themselves unto me. {As soon...: Heb. At the hearing of the ear} {submit...: or, yield feigned obedience} {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
The strangers
<01121> <05236>
shall fade away
<05034> (8799)_,
and be afraid
<02727> (8799)
out of their close places
<04526>_.
{strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
The LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_;
and blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] my rock
<06697>_;
and let the God
<0430>
of my salvation
<03468>
be exalted
<07311> (8799)_.
[It is] God
<0410>
that avengeth
<05414> (8802) <05360>
me, and subdueth
<01696> (8686)
the people
<05971>
under me. {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengements for} {subdueth: or, destroyeth}
He delivereth
<06403> (8764)
me from mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_:
yea, thou liftest me up
<07311> (8787)
above those that rise up
<06965> (8801)
against me: thou hast delivered
<05337> (8686)
me from the violent
<02555>
man
<0376>_.
{violent...: Heb. man of violence}
Therefore will I give thanks
<03034> (8686)
unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_,
among the heathen
<01471>_,
and sing praises
<02167> (8762)
unto thy name
<08034>_.
{give...: or, confess}
Great
<01431> (8688)
deliverance
<03444>
giveth he to his king
<04428>_;
and sheweth
<06213> (8802)
mercy
<02617>
to his anointed
<04899>_,
to David
<01732>_,
and to his seed
<02233>
for
<05704>
evermore
<05769>_.
