The Song of Victory - Psalm 18

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,   

Psalm 18:1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.  

Psalm 18:2 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.  

Psalm 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so  shall I be saved from mine enemies.  

Psalm 18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men  made me afraid.  

Psalm 18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death  prevented me.  

Psalm 18:6 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.  

Psalm 18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the  hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.  

Psalm 18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his  mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.  

Psalm 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was  under his feet.  

Psalm 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon  the wings of the wind.  

Psalm 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him  were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.  

Psalm 18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds  passed, hail stones and coals of fire.  

Psalm 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave  his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.  

Psalm 18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot  out lightnings, and discomfited them.  

Psalm 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.  

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

Psalm 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated  me: for they were too strong for me.  

Psalm 18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was  my stay.  

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

Psalm 18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according  to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.  

Psalm 18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly  departed from my God.  

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

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

Psalm 18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my  righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his  eyesight.  

Psalm 18:25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an  upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;  

Psalm 18:26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward  thou wilt shew thyself froward.  

Psalm 18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down  high looks.  

Psalm 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten  my darkness.  

Psalm 18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I  leaped over a wall.  

Psalm 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.  

Psalm 18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?  

Psalm 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way  perfect.    Page 317
