Psalm 18

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

2 Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

3 The `Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.

4 Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.

5 Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been snares of death.

6 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.

7 And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake -- because He hath wrath.

8 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

9 And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.

10 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.

11 He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

12 From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.

13 And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.

14 And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.

15 And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.

16 He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

17 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.

18 They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

19 And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

20 Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

22 For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.

23 And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

24 And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.

25 With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.

26 With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,

27 For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.

28 For Thou -- Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

29 For by Thee I run -- a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.

30 God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him.

31 For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God?

32 God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way.

33 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.

34 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.

35 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

36 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

37 I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.

38 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,

39 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.

40 As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.

41 They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.

42 And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.

43 Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me.

44 At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,

45 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.

46 Jehovah liveth -- and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.

47 God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,

48 My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.

49 Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,

50 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 I love You, Lord, my strength.

2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.

4 The ropes of death were wrapped around me; the torrents of destruction terrified me.

5 The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

6 I called to the Lord in my distress, and I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry to Him reached His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the mountains trembled; they shook because He burned with anger.

8 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire [came] from His mouth; coals were set ablaze by it.

9 He parted the heavens and came down, a dark cloud beneath His feet.

10 He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness His hiding place, dark storm clouds His canopy around Him.

12 From the radiance of His presence, His clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals.

13 The Lord thundered from heaven; the Most High projected His voice.

14 He shot His arrows and scattered them; He hurled lightning bolts and routed them.

15 The depths of the sea became visible, the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, Lord, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

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

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my distress, but the Lord was my support.

19 He brought me out to a wide-open place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; He repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not turned from my God to wickedness.

22 Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.

23 I was blameless toward Him and kept myself from sinning.

24 So the Lord repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.

25 With the faithful You prove Yourself faithful; with the blameless man You prove Yourself blameless;

26 with the pure You prove Yourself pure, but with the crooked You prove Yourself shrewd.

27 For You rescue an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.

28 Lord, You light my lamp; my God illuminates my darkness.

29 With You I can attack a barrier, and with my God I can leap over a wall.

30 God-His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

31 For who is God besides the Lord? And who is a rock? Only our God.

32 God-He clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me securely on the heights.

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

35 You have given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your humility exalts me.

36 You widen [a place] beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way.

37 I pursue my enemies and overtake them; I do not turn back until they are wiped out.

38 I crush them, and they cannot get up; they fall beneath my feet.

39 You have clothed me with strength for battle; You subdue my adversaries beneath me.

40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.

41 They cry for help, but there is no one to save [them]- [they cry]to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

42 I pulverize them like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets.

43 You have freed me from the feuds among the people; You have appointed me the head of nations; a people I had not known serve me.

44 Foreigners submit to me grudgingly; as soon as they hear, they obey me.

45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their fortifications.

46 The Lord lives-may my rock be praised! The God of my salvation is exalted.

47 God-He gives me vengeance and subdues peoples under me.

48 He frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my adversaries; You rescue me from violent men.

49 Therefore I will praise You, Lord, among the nations; I will sing about Your name.

50 He gives great victories to His king; He shows loyalty to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
