Psalm 18

1I love you, O Lord, my strength.

2The Lord 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 stronghold.

3I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, so I shall be saved from my enemies.

4The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of perdition assailed me;

5the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

6In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.

43You delivered me from strife with the peoples; you made me head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.

44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me.

45Foreigners lost heart, and came trembling out of their strongholds.

46The Lord lives! Blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,

47the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me;

48who delivered me from my enemies; indeed, you exalted me above my adversaries; you delivered me from the violent.

49For this I will extol you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises to your name.

50Great triumphs he gives to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
