Psalm 18

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

2 The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; he is my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.

3 I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.

4 The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.

5 The pangs of hell came round about me: the snares of death prevented me.

6 And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, even into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.

8 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.

9 And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.

10 And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.

11 And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, even dark water in the clouds of the air.

12 At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

13 The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.

14 And he sent forth his weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.

15 And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy wrath.

16 He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.

17 He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.

18 They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against them.

19 And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.

20 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.

21 For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22 For all his judgments were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.

23 And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.

24 And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.

25 With the holy thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.

26 And with the excellent man thou wilt be excellent; and with the perverse thou wilt shew frowardness.

27 For thou wilt save the lowly people, and wilt humble the eyes of the proud.

28 For thou, O Lord, wilt light my lamp: my God, thou wilt lighten my darkness.

29 For by thee shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.

30 As for my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.

31 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?

32 It is God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:

33 who strengthens my feet as hart’s feet, and sets me upon high places.

34 He instructs my hands for war: and thou hast made my arms as a brazen bow.

35 And thou hast made me secure in my salvation: and thy right hand has helped me, and thy correction has upheld me to the end; yea, thy correction itself shall instruct me.

36 Thou has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.

37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.

38 I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.

39 For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me.

40 And thou has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me.

41 They cried, but there was no deliverer: even to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them.

42 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.

43 Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,

44 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.

45 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.

46 The Lord lives; and blessed be my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47 It is God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;

48 my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man.

49 Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.

50 God magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.

New International Version NIV

1 I love you, LORD, my strength.

2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

5 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.

8 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.

9 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.

12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.

19 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

20 The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God.

22 All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.

23 I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.

24 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

27 You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

28 You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

29 With your help I can advance against a troop ; with my God I can scale a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

32 It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.

34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great.

36 You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

38 I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

39 You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.

40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but he did not answer.

42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.

43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,

44 foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

45 They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.

46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!

47 He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,

48 who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.

49 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.

50 He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.
