19_PSA_18_01 to the chief Musician , [ A Psalm ] of David , the servant of the LORD , who spake unto 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 .
19_PSA_18_02 the 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 .
19_PSA_18_03 I will call upon the LORD , [ who Is worthy ] to be praised : So shall I be saved from mine enemies .
19_PSA_18_04 the sorrows of death compassed me , And the floods of ungodly men made me afraid .
19_PSA_18_05 the sorrows of hell compassed me about : the snares of death prevented me .
19_PSA_18_06 in my distress I called upon the LORD , And cried unto my God : he heard my voice out of his temple , And my cry came before him , [ even ] into his ears .
19_PSA_18_07 Then the earth shook And trembled ; the foundations also of the hills moved And were shaken , because he was wroth .
19_PSA_18_08 there went up A smoke out of his nostrils , And fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were kindled by it .
19_PSA_18_09 he bowed the heavens also , And came down : And darkness [ was ] under his feet .
19_PSA_18_10 And he rode upon A cherub , And did fly : yea , he did fly upon the wings of the wind .
19_PSA_18_11 he made darkness his secret place ; his pavilion round about him [ were ] dark waters [ And ] thick clouds of the skies .
19_PSA_18_12 at the brightness [ that was ] before him his thick clouds passed , hail [ stones ] And coals of fire .
19_PSA_18_13 the LORD also thundered in the heavens , And the highest gave his voice ; hail [ stones ] And coals of fire .
19_PSA_18_14 yea , he sent out his arrows , And scattered them ; And he shot out lightnings , And discomfited them .
19_PSA_18_15 Then the channels of waters were seen , And the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke , O LORD , at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils .
19_PSA_18_16 he sent from above , he took me , he drew me out of Many waters .
19_PSA_18_17 he delivered me from my strong enemy , And from them which hated me : for they were too strong for me .
19_PSA_18_18 they prevented me in the day of my calamity : but the LORD was my stay .
19_PSA_18_19 he brought me forth also into A large place ; he delivered me , because he delighted in me .
19_PSA_18_20 the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness ; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me .
19_PSA_18_21 for I have kept the ways of the LORD , And have not wickedly departed from my God .
19_PSA_18_22 for all his judgments [ were ] before me , And I did not put away his statutes from me .
19_PSA_18_23 I was also upright before him , And I kept myself from mine iniquity .
19_PSA_18_24 therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness , according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight .
19_PSA_18_25 with the merciful thou Wilt show thyself merciful ; with an upright man thou Wilt show thyself upright ;
19_PSA_18_26 with the pure thou Wilt show thyself pure ; And with the froward thou Wilt show thyself froward .
19_PSA_18_27 for thou Wilt save the afflicted people ; but Wilt bring down high looks .
19_PSA_18_28 for thou Wilt light my candle : the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness .
19_PSA_18_29 for by thee I have run through A troop ; And by my God have I leaped over A wall .
19_PSA_18_30 [ as for ] God , his way [ Is ] perfect : the word of the LORD Is tried : he [ Is ] A buckler to all those that trust in him .
19_PSA_18_31 for who [ Is ] God save the LORD ? or who [ Is ] A rock save our God ?
19_PSA_18_32 [ it Is ] God that girdeth me with strength , And maketh my way perfect .
19_PSA_18_33 he maketh my feet like hinds' [ feet ] , And setteth me upon my high places .
19_PSA_18_34 he teacheth my hands to war , So that A bow of steel Is broken by mine arms .
19_PSA_18_35 thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation : And thy right hand hath holden me up , And thy gentleness hath made me great .
19_PSA_18_36 thou hast enlarged my steps under me , that my feet did not slip .
19_PSA_18_37 I have pursued mine enemies , And overtaken them : neither did I turn again till they were consumed .
19_PSA_18_38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise : they are fallen under my feet .
19_PSA_18_39 for thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle : thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me .
19_PSA_18_40 thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies ; that I might destroy them that hate me .
19_PSA_18_41 they cried , but [ there was ] none to save [ them : even ] unto the LORD , but he answered them not .
19_PSA_18_42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind : I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets .
19_PSA_18_43 thou 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 .
19_PSA_18_44 as soon as they hear of me , they shall obey me : the strangers shall submit themselves unto me .
19_PSA_18_45 the strangers shall fade away , And be afraid out of their close places .
19_PSA_18_46 the LORD liveth ; And blessed [ be ] my rock ; And let the God of my salvation be exalted .
19_PSA_18_47 [ it Is ] God that avengeth me , And subdueth the people under me .
19_PSA_18_48 he delivereth me from mine enemies : yea , thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me : thou hast delivered me from the violent man .
19_PSA_18_49 therefore will I give thanks unto thee , O LORD , among the heathen , And sing praises unto thy name .
19_PSA_18_50 great deliverance giveth he to his king ; And showeth mercy to his anointed , to David , And to his seed for evermore .
