Psalms:18:6-50
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
