Psalms 18:14-36

Psalms 18:14-36

[14] Yea, he sent out  his arrows,  and scattered  them; and he shot out  lightnings,  and discomfited  [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.  [16] He sent  from above,  he took  me, he drew  me out of many  waters.  [17] He delivered  me from my strong  enemy,  and from them which hated  me: for they were too strong  [18] They prevented  me in the day  of my calamity:  but the LORD  was my stay.  [19] He brought me forth  also into a large place;  he delivered  me, because he delighted  in me. [20] The LORD  rewarded  me according to my righteousness;  according to the cleanness  of my hands  hath he recompensed  me. [21] For I have kept  the ways  of the LORD,  and have not wickedly departed  from my God.  [22] For all his judgments  were before me, and I did not put away  his statutes  [23] I was also upright  before him, and I kept  myself from mine iniquity.  [24] Therefore hath the LORD  recompensed  me according to my righteousness,  according to the cleanness  of my hands  in his eyesight.  [25] With the merciful  thou wilt shew thyself merciful;  with an upright  man  thou wilt shew thyself upright;  [26] With the pure  and with the froward  thou wilt shew thyself froward.  [27] For thou wilt save  the afflicted  people;  but wilt bring down  high  looks.  [28] For thou wilt light  my candle:  the LORD  my God  will enlighten  my darkness.  [29] For by thee I have run through  a troop;  and by my God  have I leaped over  a wall.  [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. [31] For who is God  save  the LORD?  or who is a rock  save  our God?  [32] It is God  that girdeth  me with strength,  and maketh  my way  perfect.  [33] He maketh  my feet  like hinds'  feet, and setteth  me upon my high places.  [34] He teacheth  my hands  to war,  so that a bow  of steel  is broken  by mine arms.  [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.  [36] Thou hast enlarged  my steps  under me, that my feet  did not slip.
