Psalm 18

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.

1 (17-1) <Unto the end, for David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said:> (17-2) I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:

2 (17-3) The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my support.

3 (17-4) Praising, I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.

4 (17-5) The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.

5 (17-6) The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.

6 (17-7) In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.

7 (17-8) The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.

8 (17-9) There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.

9 (17-10) He bowed the heavens, and came down, and darkness was under his feet.

10 (17-11) And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.

11 (17-12) And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.

12 (17-13) At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

13 (17-14) And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the Highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.

14 (17-15) And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.

15 (17-16) Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.

16 (17-17) He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.

17 (17-18) He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

18 (17-19) They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.

19 (17-20) And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.

20 (17-21) And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:

21 (17-22) Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.

22 (17-23) For all his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.

23 (17-24) And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.

24 (17-25) And the Lord will reward me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

25 (17-26) With the holy thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent:

26 (17-27) And withe the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.

27 (17-28) For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.

28 (17-29) For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God, enlighten my darkness.

29 (17-30) For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.

30 (17-31) As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire-tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.

31 (17-32) For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?

32 (17-33) God, who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.

33 (17-34) Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.

34 (17-35) Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.

35 (17-36) And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.

36 (17-37) Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.

37 (17-38) I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.

38 (17-39) I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.

39 (17-40) And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.

40 (17-41) And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.

41 (17-42) They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.

42 (17-43) And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.

43 (17-44) Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people; thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.

44 (17-45) A people which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.

45 (17-46) The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.

46 (17-47) The Lord liveth, and blessed by my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47 (17-48) O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enraged enemies.

48 (17-49) And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.

49 (17-50) Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.

50 (17-51) Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David, his anointed: and to his seed for ever.
