Psalms Chapter 18Young's Literal Translation2: Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower. 3: The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved. 4: Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid. 5: Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death. 6: In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears. 7: And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake -- because He hath wrath. 8: Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it. 9: And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet. 10: And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind. 11: He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 12: From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire. 13: And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire. 14: And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them. 15: And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger. 16: He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters. 17: He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I. 18: They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me. 19: And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me. 20: Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me. 21: For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God. 22: For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I turn not from me. 23: And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity. 24: And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes. 25: With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect. 26: With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler, 27: For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall. 28: For Thou -- Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness. 29: For by Thee I run -- a troop! And by my God I leap a wall. 30: God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him. 31: For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God? 32: God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way. 33: Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand. 34: Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms. 35: And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great. 36: Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden. 37: I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed. 38: I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet, 39: And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me. 40: As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off. 41: They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them. 42: And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out. 43: Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me. 44: At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, 45: Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places. 46: Jehovah liveth -- and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation. 47: God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me, 48: My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me. 49: Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise, 50: Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!
