# Chapter 18
|
||||
1 I love you, Lord;
|
||||
you are my strength.
|
||||
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
|
||||
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
|
||||
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
|
||||
and my place of safety.
|
||||
3 I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
|
||||
and he saved me from my enemies.
|
||||
4 The ropes of death entangled me;
|
||||
floods of destruction swept over me.
|
||||
5 The grave wrapped its ropes around me;
|
||||
death laid a trap in my path.
|
||||
6 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;
|
||||
yes, I prayed to my God for help.
|
||||
He heard me from his sanctuary;
|
||||
my cry to him reached his ears.
|
||||
7 Then the earth quaked and trembled.
|
||||
The foundations of the mountains shook;
|
||||
they quaked because of his anger.
|
||||
8 Smoke poured from his nostrils;
|
||||
fierce flames leaped from his mouth.
|
||||
Glowing coals blazed forth from him.
|
||||
9 He opened the heavens and came down;
|
||||
dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.
|
||||
10 Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew,
|
||||
soaring on the wings of the wind.
|
||||
11 He shrouded himself in darkness,
|
||||
veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.
|
||||
12 Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him
|
||||
and rained down hail and burning coals.
|
||||
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
|
||||
the voice of the Most High resounded
|
||||
amid the hail and burning coals.
|
||||
14 He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;
|
||||
great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.
|
||||
15 Then at your command, O Lord,
|
||||
at the blast of your breath,
|
||||
the bottom of the sea could be seen,
|
||||
and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.
|
||||
16 He reached down from heaven and rescued me;
|
||||
he drew me out of deep waters.
|
||||
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemies,
|
||||
from those who hated me and were too strong for me.
|
||||
18 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,
|
||||
but the Lord supported me.
|
||||
19 He led me to a place of safety;
|
||||
he rescued me because he delights in me.
|
||||
20 The Lord rewarded me for doing right;
|
||||
he restored me because of my innocence.
|
||||
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
|
||||
I have not turned from my God to follow evil.
|
||||
22 I have followed all his regulations;
|
||||
I have never abandoned his decrees.
|
||||
23 I am blameless before God;
|
||||
I have kept myself from sin.
|
||||
24 The Lord rewarded me for doing right.
|
||||
He has seen my innocence.
|
||||
25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful;
|
||||
to those with integrity you show integrity.
|
||||
26 To the pure you show yourself pure,
|
||||
but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
|
||||
27 You rescue the humble,
|
||||
but you humiliate the proud.
|
||||
28 You light a lamp for me.
|
||||
The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.
|
||||
29 In your strength I can crush an army;
|
||||
with my God I can scale any wall.
|
||||
30 God’s way is perfect.
|
||||
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
|
||||
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
|
||||
31 For who is God except the Lord?
|
||||
Who but our God is a solid rock?
|
||||
32 God arms me with strength,
|
||||
and he makes my way perfect.
|
||||
33 He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
|
||||
enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
|
||||
34 He trains my hands for battle;
|
||||
he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.
|
||||
35 You have given me your shield of victory.
|
||||
Your right hand supports me;
|
||||
your help has made me great.
|
||||
36 You have made a wide path for my feet
|
||||
to keep them from slipping.
|
||||
37 I chased my enemies and caught them;
|
||||
I did not stop until they were conquered.
|
||||
38 I struck them down so they could not get up;
|
||||
they fell beneath my feet.
|
||||
39 You have armed me with strength for the battle;
|
||||
you have subdued my enemies under my feet.
|
||||
40 You placed my foot on their necks.
|
||||
I have destroyed all who hated me.
|
||||
41 They called for help, but no one came to their rescue.
|
||||
They even cried to the Lord, but he refused to answer.
|
||||
42 I ground them as fine as dust in the wind.
|
||||
I swept them into the gutter like dirt.
|
||||
43 You gave me victory over my accusers.
|
||||
You appointed me ruler over nations;
|
||||
people I don’t even know now serve me.
|
||||
44 As soon as they hear of me, they submit;
|
||||
foreign nations cringe before me.
|
||||
45 They all lose their courage
|
||||
and come trembling from their strongholds.
|
||||
46 The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock!
|
||||
May the God of my salvation be exalted!
|
||||
47 He is the God who pays back those who harm me;
|
||||
he subdues the nations under me
|
||||
48 and rescues me from my enemies.
|
||||
You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies;
|
||||
you save me from violent opponents.
|
||||
49 For this, O Lord, I will praise you among the nations;
|
||||
I will sing praises to your name.
|
||||
50 You give great victories to your king;
|
||||
you show unfailing love to your anointed,
|
||||
to David and all his descendants forever.
