Psalms 18:1-31

18:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

[A Psalm] of David
<01732>_,

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

who spake
<01696> (8765)

unto the LORD
<03068>

the words
<01697>

of this song
<07892>

in the day
<03117>

[that] the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05337> (8689)

him from the hand
<03709>

of all his enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and from the hand
<03027>

of Saul
<07586>_:

And he said
<0559> (8799),>>

I will love
<07355> (8799)

thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

my strength
<02391>_.

18:2

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}

18:3

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)_.

18:4

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}

18:5

The sorrows
<02256>

of hell
<07585>

compassed me about
<05437> (8804)_:

the snares
<04170>

of death
<04194>

prevented
<06923> (8765)

me. {sorrows: or, cords}

18:6

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>_.

18:7

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)_.

18:8

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}

18:9

He bowed
<05186> (8799)

the heavens
<08064>

also, and came down
<03381> (8799)_:

and darkness
<06205>

[was] under his feet
<07272>_.

18:10

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>_.

18:11

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>_.

18:12

At the brightness
<05051>

[that was] before him his thick clouds
<05645>

passed
<05674> (8804)_,

hail
<01259>

[stones] and coals
<01513>

of fire
<0784>_.

18:13

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>_.

18:14

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.

18:15

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>_.

18:16

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}

18:17

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.

18:18

They prevented
<06923> (8762)

me in the day
<03117>

of my calamity
<0343>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

was my stay
<04937>_.

18:19

He brought me forth
<03318> (8686)

also into a large place
<04800>_;

he delivered
<02502> (8762)

me, because he delighted
<02654> (8804)

in me.

18:20

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.

18:21

For I have kept
<08104> (8804)

the ways
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have not wickedly departed
<07561> (8804)

from my God
<0430>_.

18:22

For all his judgments
<04941>

[were] before me, and I did not put away
<05493> (8686)

his statutes
<02708>

from me.

18:23

I was also upright
<08549>

before him, and I kept
<08104> (8691)

myself from mine iniquity
<05771>_.

{before: Heb. with}

18:24

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}

18:25

With the merciful
<02623>

thou wilt shew thyself merciful
<02616> (8691)_;

with an upright
<08549>

man
<01399>

thou wilt shew thyself upright
<08552> (8691)_;

18:26

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}

18:27

For thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)

the afflicted
<06041>

people
<05971>_;

but wilt bring down
<08213> (8686)

high
<07311> (8802)

looks
<05869>_.

18:28

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}

18:29

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}

18:30

[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}

18:31

For who [is] God
<0433>

save
<01107>

the LORD
<03068>_?

or who [is] a rock
<06697>

save
<02108>

our God
<0430>_?
