Psalms - ch 18 v 1 - 20
- I love you, Yahweh, my strength.
- Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
- I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
- The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
- The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.
- In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
- Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
- Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
- He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
- He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
- He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
- At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
- Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
- He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
- Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
- He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
- He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
- They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.
- He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
- Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
