Psalms 18:17-50

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>_?

18:32

[It is] God
<0410>

that girdeth
<0247> (8764)

me with strength
<02428>_,

and maketh
<05414> (8799)

my way
<01870>

perfect
<08549>_.

18:33

He maketh
<07737> (8764)

my feet
<07272>

like hinds
<0355>_'

[feet], and setteth
<05975> (8686)

me upon my high places
<01116>_.

18:34

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>_.

18:35

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}

18:36

Thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8686)

my steps
<06806>

under me, that my feet
<07166>

did not slip
<04571> (8804)_.

{my feet: Heb. mine ankles}

18:37

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)_.

18:38

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>_.

18:39

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}

18:40

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.

18:41

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.

18:42

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>_.

18:43

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.

18:44

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}

18:45

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}

18:46

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)_.

18:47

[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}

18:48

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}

18:49

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}

18:50

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>_.
