1 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. Psalms 18:2

strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.

6 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.
Psalms 18:7
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills
moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. Psalms 18:8
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth
devoured: coals were kindled by it. Psalms 18:9
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his
feet. Psalms 18:10
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings
of the wind.
Psalms 18:11
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were
dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. Psalms 18:12
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail
stones and coals of fire.
Psalms 18:13
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice;

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.
Psalms 18:16
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. Psalms 18:17

they were too strong for me.
Psalms 18:18

19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.
Psalms 18:20

Psalms 18:22
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. Psalms 18:24

according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. Psalms 18:25
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man
thou wilt shew thyself upright;
Psalms 18:26
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou
wilt shew thyself froward.
Psalms 18:27
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

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. Psalms 18:31
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? Psalms 18:32
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. Psalms 18:33
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
Psalms 18:34
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
Psalms 18:35
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. Psalms 18:36
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. Psalms 18:37
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn
again till they were consumed.
Psalms 18:38
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen
under my feet.

39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued
under me those that rose up against me. Psalms 18:40
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy
them that hate me.
Psalms 18:41
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he
answered them not.

out as the dirt in the streets.

made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve
me.

that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
Psalms 18:49
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and
sing praises unto thy name.
Psalms 18:50
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his
anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
