Psalms 18
1 I will love thee, O YHWH, 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 YHWH is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my El, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and 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 YHWH, who is worthy 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 sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of destruction 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 YHWH, and cried unto my Elohim: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even 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 trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, 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 were kindled by it.
It went up smoke - in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.
9 He bowed the heavens also, 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 did fly 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 pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
He made darkness - covering his around him canopy his darkness of waters dark clouds of clouds.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
From [the] brightness before him dark clouds his they passed on hail and coals of fire.
13 YHWH also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones 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 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
And he sent out arrows his and he scattered them and lightning flashes he shot and he routed them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O YHWH, 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 sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many 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 which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
He rescued me from enemy my strong and from [those who] hate me for they were [too] strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but YHWH was my stay.
They confronted me in [the] day of calamity my and he became Yahweh a support of me.
19 He brought me forth also 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 YHWH 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 YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my Elohim.
For I have kept [the] ways of Yahweh and not I have acted wickedly from God my.
22 For all his judgments 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 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
And I have been blameless with him and I have kept myself from iniquity my.
24 Therefore hath YHWH recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
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 merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
With a faithful [person] you show yourself faithful with a man blameless you show yourself blameless.
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
With [one who] purifies himself you show yourself pure and with a perverse [person] you show yourself twisted.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
For you a people afflicted you save and eyes uplifted you bring low.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: YHWH my Elohim will enlighten 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 Elohim 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 El, his way is perfect: the word of YHWH is tried: he is a buckler to all those 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 Eloah save YHWH? or who is a rock save our Elohim?
For who? [is] God except Yahweh and who? [is] a rock except God our.
32 It is El that 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 He 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 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
[he has] trained Hands my for battle and it will stretch a bow of bronze arms my.
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.
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 hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
You have enlarged step[s] my under me and not they have slipped ankles my.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
I pursued enemies my and I overtook them and not I returned until destroyed them.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
I shattered them and not they were able [surely] to rise they fell under feet my.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued 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 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
And enemies my you gave to me [the] neck and [those who] hated me I destroyed them.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto YHWH, but he answered them not.
They cried for help and there not [was] a deliverer to Yahweh and not he answered them.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in 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; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall 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 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
To [the] hearing of an ear they become obedient to me sons of foreignness they cringe to me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
Sons of foreignness they wither and they may come trembling from strongholds their.
46 YHWH liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the Elohim of my salvation be exalted.
[is] living Yahweh and [be] blessed rock my and may he be exalted [the] God of salvation my.
47 It is El that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
God [is] the [one who] has given vengeance to me and he has subdued peoples under me.
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.
[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 unto thee, O YHWH, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
There-fore - I will give thanks to you among the nations - O Yahweh and to name your I will sing praises.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy 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.
