Psalms 18
1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
To the choirmaster - of [the] servant of Yahweh of David who he spoke - to Yahweh [the] words of the song this on [the] day [when] he delivered Yahweh him from [the] hand of all enemies his and from [the] hand of Saul. And he said I love you O Yahweh strength my.
2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Yahweh - [is] rock my and stronghold my and deliverer my God my [is] rock my [whom] I take refuge in him shield my and [the] horn of salvation my refuge my.
3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
[the one] to be praised I call out to Yahweh and from enemies my I am delivered.
4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
They encompassed me [the] cords of death and [the] torrents of worthlessness they overwhelmed me.
[the] cords of Sheol they surrounded me they confronted me [the] snares of death. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
When it was distress to me - I called out to Yahweh and to God my I cried for help he heard from temple his voice my and cry for help my before him - it came in ears his.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
And it shook and it quaked - the earth and [the] foundations of [the] mountains they trembled and they shook back and forth for it burned to him.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
It went up smoke - in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.
9 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
And he bent down [the] heavens and he came down and thick darkness [was] under feet his.
10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
And he rode on a cherub and he flew and he soared on [the] wings of [the] wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
He made darkness - covering his around him canopy his darkness of waters dark clouds of clouds.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
From [the] brightness before him dark clouds his they passed on hail and coals of fire.
13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
And he thundered in the heavens - Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave forth voice his hail and coals of fire.
14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
And he sent out arrows his and he scattered them and lightning flashes he shot and he routed them.
15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
And they appeared - channels of water and they were uncovered [the] foundations of [the] world from rebuke your O Yahweh from [the] breath of [the] breath of nostril[s] your.
16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
He stretched out from a high place he took hold of me he drew me from waters many.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
He rescued me from enemy my strong and from [those who] hate me for they were [too] strong for me.
18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
They confronted me in [the] day of calamity my and he became Yahweh a support of me.
19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
And he brought out me to roomy place he rescued me for he delighted in me.
20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
He has dealt with me Yahweh according to righteousness my according to [the] cleanness of hands my he has repaid to me.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For I have kept [the] ways of Yahweh and not I have acted wickedly from God my.
22 For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
For all judgments his [have been] to before me and statutes his not I have turned aside from me.
23 And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
And I have been blameless with him and I have kept myself from iniquity my.
24 And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
And he has repaid Yahweh to me according to righteousness my according to [the] cleanness of hands my to before eyes his.
25 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
With a faithful [person] you show yourself faithful with a man blameless you show yourself blameless.
26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
With [one who] purifies himself you show yourself pure and with a perverse [person] you show yourself twisted.
27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
For you a people afflicted you save and eyes uplifted you bring low.
28 For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
For you you light lamp my Yahweh God my he lightens darkness my.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
For by you I run a marauding band and by God my I leap over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
God [is] blameless way his [the] word of Yahweh [is] refined [is] a shield he for all - those [who] take refuge in him.
31 For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
For who? [is] God except Yahweh and who? [is] a rock except God our.
32 The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
God [is] the [one who] has girded me strength and he has made blameless way my.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
[he has] made Feet my like does and on high places my he has made stand firm me.
34 Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
[he has] trained Hands my for battle and it will stretch a bow of bronze arms my.
35 And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
And you have given to me [the] shield of salvation your and right [hand] your it has supported me and humility your you have made great me.
36 Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
You have enlarged step[s] my under me and not they have slipped ankles my.
37 I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
I pursued enemies my and I overtook them and not I returned until destroyed them.
38 I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
I shattered them and not they were able [surely] to rise they fell under feet my.
39 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
And you girded me strength for the battle you made bow down [those who] rose against me under me.
40 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
And enemies my you gave to me [the] neck and [those who] hated me I destroyed them.
41 They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
They cried for help and there not [was] a deliverer to Yahweh and not he answered them.
42 And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
And I crushed them like dust on [the] face of [the] wind like [the] mud of [the] streets I poured out them.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
You delivered me from [the] strivings of a people you appointed me to [the] head of nations a people [which] not I knew they serve me.
44 At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
To [the] hearing of an ear they become obedient to me sons of foreignness they cringe to me.
45 Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
Sons of foreignness they wither and they may come trembling from strongholds their.
46 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
[is] living Yahweh and [be] blessed rock my and may he be exalted [the] God of salvation my.
47 The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
God [is] the [one who] has given vengeance to me and he has subdued peoples under me.
48 Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
[he has] delivered Me from enemies my also more than [those who] rose against me you have exalted me from a man of violence you have rescued me.
49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
There-fore - I will give thanks to you among the nations - O Yahweh and to name your I will sing praises.
50 [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
([he is] making great *Q(k)*) [the] victories of King his and [he is] doing covenant loyalty - to anointed his to David and to offspring his until perpetuity.
