Psalm 18
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.
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.
3
I
will
call
upon
the
Lord,
who
is
worthy
to
be
praised:
so
shall
I
be
saved
from
mine
enemies.
4
The
sorrows
of
death
compassed
me,
and
the
floods
of
ungodly
men
made
me
afraid.
5
The
sorrows
of
hell
compassed
me
about:
the
snares
of
death
prevented
me.
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.
7
Then
the
earth
shook
and
trembled;
the
foundations
also
of
the
hills
moved
and
were
shaken,
because
he
was
wroth.
8
There
went
up
a
smoke
out
of
his
nostrils,
and
fire
out
of
his
mouth
devoured:
coals
were
kindled
by
it.
9
He
bowed
the
heavens
also,
and
came
down:
and
darkness
was
under
his
feet.
10
And
he
rode
upon
a
cherub,
and
did
fly:
yea,
he
did
fly
upon
the
wings
of
the
wind.
11
He
made
darkness
his
secret
place;
his
pavilion
round
about
him
were
dark
waters
and
thick
clouds
of
the
skies.
12
At
the
brightness
that
was
before
him
his
thick
clouds
passed,
hail
stones
and
coals
of
fire.
13
The
Lord
also
thundered
in
the
heavens,
and
the
Highest
gave
his
voice;
hail
stones
and
coals
of
fire.
14
Yea,
he
sent
out
his
arrows,
and
scattered
them;
and
he
shot
out
lightnings,
and
discomfited
them.
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.
16
He
sent
from
above,
he
took
me,
he
drew
me
out
of
many
waters.
17
He
delivered
me
from
my
strong
enemy,
and
from
them
which
hated
me:
for
they
were
too
strong
for
me.
18
They
prevented
me
in
the
day
of
my
calamity:
but
the
Lord
was
my
stay.
19
He
brought
me
forth
also
into
a
large
place;
he
delivered
me,
because
he
delighted
in
me.
20
The
Lord
rewarded
me
according
to
my
righteousness;
according
to
the
cleanness
of
my
hands
hath
he
recompensed
me.
21
For
I
have
kept
the
ways
of
the
Lord,
and
have
not
wickedly
departed
from
my
God.
22
For
all
his
judgments
were
before
me,
and
I
did
not
put
away
his
statutes
from
me.
23
I
was
also
upright
before
him,
and
I
kept
myself
from
mine
iniquity.
24
Therefore
hath
the
Lord
recompensed
me
according
to
my
righteousness,
according
to
the
cleanness
of
my
hands
in
his
eyesight.
25
With
the
merciful
thou
wilt
shew
thyself
merciful;
with
an
upright
man
thou
wilt
shew
thyself
upright;
26
With
the
pure
thou
wilt
shew
thyself
pure;
and
with
the
froward
thou
wilt
shew
thyself
froward.
27
For
thou
wilt
save
the
afflicted
people;
but
wilt
bring
down
high
looks.
28
For
thou
wilt
light
my
candle:
the
Lord
my
God
will
enlighten
my
darkness.
29
For
by
thee
I
have
run
through
a
troop;
and
by
my
God
have
I
leaped
over
a
wall.
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.
31
For
who
is
God
save
the
Lord?
or
who
is
a
rock
save
our
God?
32
It
is
God
that
girdeth
me
with
strength,
and
maketh
my
way
perfect.
33
He
maketh
my
feet
like
hinds’
feet,
and
setteth
me
upon
my
high
places.
34
He
teacheth
my
hands
to
war,
so
that
a
bow
of
steel
is
broken
by
mine
arms.
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.
36
Thou
hast
enlarged
my
steps
under
me,
that
my
feet
did
not
slip.
37
I
have
pursued
mine
enemies,
and
overtaken
them:
neither
did
I
turn
again
till
they
were
consumed.
38
I
have
wounded
them
that
they
were
not
able
to
rise:
they
are
fallen
under
my
feet.
39
For
thou
hast
girded
me
with
strength
unto
the
battle:
thou
hast
subdued
under
me
those
that
rose
up
against
me.
40
Thou
hast
also
given
me
the
necks
of
mine
enemies;
that
I
might
destroy
them
that
hate
me.
41
They
cried,
but
there
was
none
to
save
them:
even
unto
the
Lord,
but
he
answered
them
not.
42
Then
did
I
beat
them
small
as
the
dust
before
the
wind:
I
did
cast
them
out
as
the
dirt
in
the
streets.
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.
44
As
soon
as
they
hear
of
me,
they
shall
obey
me:
the
strangers
shall
submit
themselves
unto
me.
45
The
strangers
shall
fade
away,
and
be
afraid
out
of
their
close
places.
46
The
Lord
liveth;
and
blessed
be
my
rock;
and
let
the
God
of
my
salvation
be
exalted.
47
It
is
God
that
avengeth
me,
and
subdueth
the
people
under
me.
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.
49
Therefore
will
I
give
thanks
unto
thee,
O
Lord,
among
the
heathen,
and
sing
praises
unto
thy
name.
50
Great
deliverance
giveth
he
to
his
king;
and
sheweth
mercy
to
his
anointed,
to
David,
and
to
his
seed
for
evermore.
