Psalm 18 :: Webster's Bible (WEB)

Psa 18:1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to 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.
Psa 18:2The 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.
Psa 18:3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Psa 18:4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
Psa 18:5The sorrows of hell encompassed me: the snares of death seized me.
Psa 18:6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
Psa 18:7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
Psa 18:8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Psa 18:9He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
Psa 18:10And he rode upon a cherub, and flew; yes, he flew upon the wings of the wind.
Psa 18:11He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
Psa 18:12At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
Psa 18:13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
Psa 18:14Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
Psa 18:15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Psa 18:16He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
Psa 18:17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Psa 18:18They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Psa 18:19He brought me forth also in a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Psa 18:20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Psa 18:21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Psa 18:22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
Psa 18:23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
Psa 18:24Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Psa 18:25With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
Psa 18:26With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
Psa 18:27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
Psa 18:28For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
Psa 18:29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Psa 18:30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Psa 18:31For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
Psa 18:32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
Psa 18:33He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
Psa 18:34He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
Psa 18:35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Psa 18:36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
Psa 18:37I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
Psa 18:38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have fallen under my feet.
Psa 18:39For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Psa 18:40Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
Psa 18:41They cried, but there was none to save them: even to the LORD, but he answered them not.
Psa 18:42Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
Psa 18:43Thou 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.
Psa 18:44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves to me.
Psa 18:45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid from their close places.
Psa 18:46The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Psa 18:47It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
Psa 18:48He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
Psa 18:49Therefore will I give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises to thy name.
Psa 18:50He giveth great deliverance to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever.
