Settings

18:1I love You, O Jehovah, my strength. Compare
18:2Jehovah is my crag and my fortress and my Deliverer; / My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; / My shield and the horn of my salvation, my high retreat. Compare
18:3I called upon Jehovah, who is worthy of praise, And from my enemies I was saved. Compare
18:4The cords of death encompassed me; / And the torrents of destruction assailed me. Compare
18:5The cords of Sheol surrounded me; / The snares of death confronted me. Compare
18:6In my distress I called upon Jehovah / And cried out to my God. / He heard my voice from His temple, / And my cry before Him came to His ears. Compare
18:7Then the earth shook and quaked, / And the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook about, / For He was furious. Compare
18:8Smoke went up from His nostrils, / And fire from His mouth devoured; / Coals blazed forth from Him. Compare
18:9He bowed the heavens and descended, / And deep darkness was under His feet. Compare
18:10He rode upon a cherub and did fly; / He darted upon the wings of the wind. Compare
18:11He made darkness His hiding place, His pavilion around Him: / Dark waterclouds, thick clouds of the skies. Compare
18:12Out of the brightness before Him there broke through His clouds / Hail and fiery coals. Compare
18:13Then Jehovah thundered in heaven, / And the Most High uttered His voice. Compare
18:14And He sent forth His arrows and scattered my enemies; / And He shot forth lightning bolts and discomfited them. Compare
18:15The channels of the sea were seen, / And the foundations of the habitable land were laid bare / At Your rebuke, O Jehovah, / At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. Compare
18:16He reached forth from on high; He took me; / He drew me out of great waters. Compare
18:17He delivered me from my strong enemy / And from those who hate me, for they were too mighty for me. Compare
18:18They confronted me in the day of my calamity, / But Jehovah became my support. Compare
18:19He brought me forth to a place broad and free; / He rescued me, for He took delight in me. Compare
18:20Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness; / According to the cleanness of my hands He has repaid me. Compare
18:21For I have kept the ways of Jehovah / And have not acted wickedly by turning away from my God. Compare
18:22For all His judgments were before me, / And I did not turn His statutes away from me. Compare
18:23I was perfect toward Him, / And I kept myself from my iniquity. Compare
18:24Therefore Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, / According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight. Compare
18:25With the faithful You show Yourself faithful, / With a perfect man You show Yourself perfect, Compare
18:26With the pure You show Yourself pure, / And with the perverse You show Yourself contrary. Compare
18:27For it is You who save the afflicted people, / But the haughty eyes You bring down; Compare
18:28For it is You who light my lamp; / Jehovah my God lights up my darkness; Compare
18:29For by You I can run up against a troop; / Indeed by my God I can leap over a wall. Compare
18:30As for God - His way is perfect; / The word of Jehovah is tried. / He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. Compare
18:31For who is God other than Jehovah, / And who is a rock but our God? Compare
18:32The God who girds me with strength / And makes my way perfect, Compare
18:33Who makes my feet like hinds' feet / And sets me on my high places, Compare
18:34Who teaches my hands to wage war / So that my arms may bend a bronze bow. Compare
18:35And You have given me the shield of Your salvation, / And Your right hand supports me; / And Your condescending gentleness has made me great. Compare
18:36You have broadened the places of my steps under me, / And my feet have not slipped. Compare
18:37I pursued my enemies and overtook them, / And I did not turn back until they were consumed. Compare
18:38I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise up; / They fell under my feet. Compare
18:39And You girded me with strength for war; / You brought down under me those who rose up against me. Compare
18:40You also made my enemies turn their back to me, / And I annihilated those who hated me. Compare
18:41They cried out, but there was no one to save them; / They cried out to Jehovah, but He did not answer them. Compare
18:42Then I beat them like dust before the wind; / Like the mud of the streets I pounded them. Compare
18:43You rescued me from the strivings of the people; / You have made me the head of the nations; / A people whom I had not known serves me. Compare
18:44At the mere hearing of a report, they obey me; / Foreigners come cringing to me; Compare
18:45Foreigners are discouraged / And come quaking out of their fortresses. Compare
18:46Jehovah lives; and blessed be my rock, / And exalted be the God of my salvation, Compare
18:47The God who executes vengeance for me / And subdues peoples under me, Compare
18:48Who rescues me from my enemies. / Indeed You exalted me above those who rise up against me; / From the violent man You delivered me. Compare
18:49Therefore I give thanks to You among the nations, O Jehovah; / And I will sing psalms to Your name. Compare
18:50It is He who magnifies salvation to His king / And executes lovingkindness to His anointed, / To David and to his seed forever. Compare
