strkjv @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 .
