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

Psalms:19:1 @
To the chief Musician ,
A Psalm of David .
The heavens declare the glory of God ;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork #
H3027 .
*
Day unto day uttereth speech ,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge da #
ath #.
*
There is no speech nor language ,
where their voice is not heard .
*
Their line is gone out through all the earth ,
and their words to the end of the world .
In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun ,
*
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber ,
and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race .
*
His going forth is from the end of the heaven ,
and his circuit unto the ends of it :
and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof .
*
The law of the LORD is perfect ,
converting the soul :
the testimony of the LORD is sure ,
making wise the simple .
*
The statutes of the LORD are right ,
rejoicing the heart :
the commandment of the LORD is pure ,
enlightening the eyes .
*
The fear of the LORD is clean ,
enduring for ever :
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether .
*
More to be desired are they than gold ,
yea ,
than much fine gold :
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb nopheth #.
*
Moreover by them is thy servant warned :
and in keeping of them there is great reward .
*
Who can understand his errors sh @
giy #
ah #?
cleanse thou me from secret faults .
*
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins ;
let them not have dominion over me :
then shall I be upright ,
and I shall be innocent from the great transgression .
*
Let the words of my mouth ,
and the meditation of my heart ,
be acceptable in thy sight ,
O LORD ,
my strength ,
and my redeemer .

To the chief Musician ,
A Psalm of David .
The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble ;
the name of the God of Jacob defend thee ;
*
Send thee help from the sanctuary ,
and strengthen thee out of Zion ;
*
Remember all thy offerings ,
and accept thy burnt sacrifice ;
Selah .
*
Grant thee according to thine own heart ,
and fulfil all thy counsel .

We will rejoice in thy salvation y @

and in the name of our God we will set up our banners :
the LORD fulfil all thy petitions mish #

*
Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed ;
he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand .
*
Some trust in chariots ,
and some in horses :
but we will remember the name of the LORD our God .
*
They are brought down and fallen :
but we are risen ,
and stand upright .
*
Save ,
LORD :
let the king hear us when we call .

Psalms:21:1 @
To the chief Musician ,
A Psalm of David .
The king shall joy in thy strength ,
O LORD ;
and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice !
*
Thou hast given him his hearts desire ta #
avah #,
and hast not withholden the request of his lips .
Selah .
*
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness :
thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head ro #
sh #.
*
He asked life of thee ,
and thou gavest it him ,
even length of days for ever and ever .
*
His glory is great in thy salvation y @
shuw #
ah #:
honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him .
*
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever :
thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance .
*
For the king trusteth in the LORD ,
and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved .
*
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies :
thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee .
*
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger :
the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath ,
and the fire shall devour them .
*
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth ,
and their seed from among the children of men .
*
For they intended evil against thee :
they imagined a mischievous device ,
which they are not able to perform .
*
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back ,
when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them .
*
Be thou exalted ,
LORD ,
in thine own strength :
so will we sing and praise thy power .

My God ,
my God ,
why hast thou forsaken me ?
why art thou so far from helping me ,
