PSA-18:1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant 
of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in 
the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his 
enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love 
thee, O LORD, my strength.



PSA-18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my 
deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler,
 and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.



PSA-18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be 
praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.



PSA-18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of 
ungodly men made me afraid.



PSA-18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of 
death prevented me.



PSA-18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto 
my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came 
before him, [even] into his ears.



PSA-18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also 
of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.



PSA-18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out 
of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.



PSA-18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness 
[was] under his feet.



PSA-18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did 
fly upon the wings of the wind.



PSA-18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round 
about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.



PSA-18:12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick 
clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.



PSA-18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the 
Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.



PSA-18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and 
he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.



PSA-18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the 
foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, 
at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.



PSA-18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many 
waters.



PSA-18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them 
which hated me: for they were too strong for me.



PSA-18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the 
LORD was my stay.



PSA-18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he 
delivered me, because he delighted in me.



PSA-18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; 
according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.



PSA-18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not 
wickedly departed from my God.



PSA-18:22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not 
put away his statutes from



me. PSA-18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself 
from mine iniquity.



PSA-18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my 
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his 
eyesight.



PSA-18:25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; 
with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;



PSA-18:26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with 
the froward thou wilt show thyself froward.



PSA-18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt 
bring down high looks.



PSA-18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will 
enlighten my darkness.



PSA-18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God 
have I leaped over a wall.



PSA-18:30 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the 
LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.



PSA-18:31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock 
save our God?



PSA-18:32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh 
my way perfect.



PSA-18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me 
upon my high places.



PSA-18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is 
broken by mine arms.



PSA-18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: 
and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath 
made me great.



PSA-18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did 
not slip.



PSA-18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: 
neither did I turn again till they were consumed.



PSA-18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: 
they are fallen under my feet. PSA-18:39 For thou hast girded me 
with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those 
that rose up against me.



PSA-18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; 
that I might destroy them that



hate me. PSA-18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save 
[them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not.



PSA-18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:
 I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.



PSA-18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the 
people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a 
people [whom] I have not known shall serve me.



PSA-18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the 
strangers shall submit themselves unto me.



PSA-18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of 
their close places.



PSA-18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the 
God of my salvation be exalted.



PSA-18:47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people 
under me.



PSA-18:48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest 
me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered 
me from the violent man.



PSA-18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among 
the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.



PSA-18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth 
mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
