Psalm xviii. Diligam te, Domine. T WILL love thee, O Lord, my strength; the I Lord is my stony rock, and my .de | fence : my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my sal | va. • tion, and • my refuge. 2 I will call upon the Lord, which is | worthy : to be praised : so shall I be safe from · mine | enemies. 3 The sorrows of death compas • sed l me : and the overflowings of un godli . ness made . me'a fraid. 4 The pains of hell | came · about me: the snares of death o.ver took me. 5 In my trouble I will call upon the Lord : and com 1 plain · un to my | God. 6 So shall be hear my voice out of his holy | temple : and my complaint shall come before him, it shall enter | even in to · his ears. 7 The earth | trembled. and quaked : the very foundations also of the hills shook, and were re moved, because · he was | wroth. 8 There went a smoke out in · his presence : and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that | coals · were kind. led l at it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, I and · came | down : and it was | dark | under · his feet. 10 He rode upon the cherubims, I and · did fly: he came flying up on · the ) wings of the | wind. 11 He made darkness his secret | place : his pavilion round about him with dark water, and . thick | clouds • to cover him. 12 At the brightness of his presence his | clouds • re | moved : hail | stones and coals • of 1 fire. 13 The Lord also thundered out of heaven, and the Highest I gave · his | thunder : hail | stones. and | coals of fire. 14 He sent out his arrows · and | scattered them; he cast forth | light.nings and destroyed them. 15 The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered, at thy | chiding, .0 | Lord: at the blasting of the | breath of thy • dis pleasure. 16 He shall send down from on high to l fetch me : and shall take me out of | ma · ny | waters. 17 He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, and from them · which I hate me: for they are . too | mighty for me. 18 They prevented me in the day of · my trouble : but the Lord · was | my · up | holder. 19 He brought me forth also into a place · of liberty: he brought me forth, even because he had • a favour · un to me. 20 The Lord shall reward me after my l righte. ous | dealing: according to the cleanness of my | hands | shall · he I recompense me, 21 Because I have kept the 1 ways of the Lord: and have not forsaken my | Göd, · as the wick • ed | doth. 22 For I have an eye unto all · his | laws : and will not cast | out · his com | mand • ments from me. 23 I was also uncor / rupt · be fore him: and es / chewed · mine | own | wickedness. 24 Therefore shall the Lord reward me after my frighteous | dealing : and according to the cleanness of my l hands in his eye-sight. 25 With the holy | thou shalt be holy : and with a perfect | man · thou | shalt · be s perfect. 26 With the clean | thou · shalt be clean: and with the froward · thou shalt | learn frowardness. 27 For thou shalt save the people that are in. ad | versity : and shalt bring | down the · high looks · of the proud. 28 Thou also shalt | light • my candle: the Lord my God shall make my dark • ness 1 to be light.. 29 For in thee I shall discomfit an | hosť- of 1 men: and with the help of my God | I shall · leap over · the wall. 30 The way of God is an undel fi · led | way : the word of the Lord also is tried in the fire; he is the defender of all them that I put their trust in 31 For who is God, I but the Lord: or who hath any | strength, except our | God? 32 It is God, that girdeth me with strength of | war: and maketh · my I way | perfect. 33 He maketh my feet. like harts' feet: and setteth · me | up · on 1 high. 34 He teacheth mine , hands to fight : and mine arms shall | break even a bow of I steel. 36 Thou hast given me the defence of thy · sal | vation : thy right hand also shall hold me up, and thy loving cor rection · shall | make · me great. 36 Thou shalt make room enough under me for . to go : that my foot · steps shall not | slide. 37 I will follow upon mine enemies, and lo• ver take them : neither will I turn again · till I 1 have · de stroyed them. 38 I will smite them, that they shall not be able · to stand: but I fall under i my feet. 39 Thou hast girded me with strength un | to. the battle: thou shalt throw | down · mine | ene · mies under me. 40 Thou hast made mine enemies also to turn their | backs · up I on me: and I shall de / stroy | them · that I hate me. 41 They shall cry, but there shall be / none · to | help them: yea, even unto the Lord shall they | cry, · but he shall · not | hear them. 42 I will beat them as small as the dust be fore •the | wind: I will cast them out • as the clay · in the streets. 43 Thou shalt deliver me from the / strivings. of the people: and thou shalt make · me the / head of the heathen. 44 A people whom I have not | known : shall || serve me. 45 As soon as they hear of me they | shall.o|bey me: but the strange children · shall dis | sem · ble | with me. 46 The strange children · shall | fail: and be afraid out of their | prisons. 47 The Lord liveth, and blessed be my strong | helper: and praised be the God of | my · sal vation. 48 Even the God that seeth that I be · al venged: and sub | dueth · the people · un | to me. 49 It is he that delivereth me from my cruel enemies, and setteth me up a | bove · mine | adversaries : thou shalt | rid me · from the wicked | man. 50 For this cause will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, a | mong · the Gentiles: and sing 1 praises · un to. thy | Name. 51 Great prosperity giveth be un | to · his | King : and sheweth loving-kindness unto David his anointed, and unto his / seed · for | cv.er more.
