New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
2
The
Lord
is my rock and my fortress and my savior,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3
I call upon the
Lord
, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.
4
The ropes of death encompassed me,
And the torrents of destruction terrified me.
5
The ropes of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6
In my distress I called upon the
Lord
,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.
7
Then the earth shook and quaked;
And the foundations of the mountains were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.
8
Smoke went up out of His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth was devouring;
Coals burned from it.
9
He also bowed the heavens down low, and came down
With thick darkness under His feet.
10
He rode on a cherub and flew;
And He sped on the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds.
12
From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
13
The
Lord
also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14
He sent out His arrows, and scattered them,
And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.
15
Then the channels of water appeared,
And the foundations of the world were exposed
By Your rebuke,
Lord
,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16
He sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17
He saved me from my strong enemy,
And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
But the
Lord
was my support.
19
He also brought me out into an open place;
He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
20
The
Lord
has rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands He has repaid me.
21
For I have kept the ways of the
Lord
,
And have not acted wickedly against my God.
22
For all His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23
I was also blameless with Him,
And I kept myself from my wrongdoing.
24
Therefore the
Lord
has repaid me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
25
With the faithful You show Yourself faithful;
With the blameless You prove Yourself blameless;
26
With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.
27
For You save an afflicted people,
But You humiliate haughty eyes.
28
For You light my lamp;
The
Lord
my God illumines my darkness.
29
For by You I can run at a troop of warriors;
And by my God I can leap over a wall.
30
As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the
Lord
is refined;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
King James Version
Chapter 18
2
The
Lord
is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3
I will call upon the
Lord
, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6
In my distress I called upon the
Lord
, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon 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.
12
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13
The
Lord
also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
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 for me.
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 from me.
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 thou wilt shew thyself 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.

Chapter 18
2
The
Lord
is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock where I seek refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.
3
I called to the
Lord
, who is worthy of praise,
and I was saved from my enemies.
4
The ropes of death were wrapped around me;
the torrents of destruction terrified me.
5
The ropes of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6
I called to the
Lord
in my distress,
and I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
7
Then the earth shook and quaked;
the foundations of the mountains trembled;
they shook because he burned with anger.
8
Smoke rose from his nostrils,
and consuming fire came from his mouth;
coals were set ablaze by it.
9
He bent the heavens and came down,
total darkness beneath his feet.
10
He rode on a cherub and flew,
soaring on the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness his hiding place,
dark storm clouds his canopy around him.
12
From the radiance of his presence,
his clouds swept onward with hail and blazing coals.
13
The
Lord
thundered from heaven;
the Most High made his voice heard.
14
He shot his arrows and scattered them;
he hurled lightning bolts and routed them.
15
The depths of the sea became visible,
the foundations of the world were exposed,
at your rebuke,
Lord
,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16
He reached down from on high
and took hold of me;
he pulled me out of deep water.
17
He rescued me from my powerful enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too strong for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the
Lord
was my support.
19
He brought me out to a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
20
The
Lord
rewarded me
according to my righteousness;
he repaid me
according to the cleanness of my hands.
21
For I have kept the ways of the
Lord
and have not turned from my God to wickedness.
22
Indeed, I let all his ordinances guide me
and have not disregarded his statutes.
23
I was blameless toward him
and kept myself from my iniquity.
24
So the
Lord
repaid me
according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25
With the faithful
you prove yourself faithful,
with the blameless
you prove yourself blameless,
26
with the pure
you prove yourself pure;
but with the crooked
you prove yourself shrewd.
27
For you rescue an oppressed people,
but you humble those with haughty eyes.
28
Lord
, you light my lamp;
my God illuminates my darkness.
29
With you I can attack a barricade,
and with my God I can leap over a wall.
30
God—his way is perfect;
the word of the
Lord
is pure.
He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
2
The
Lord
is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
3
I called on the
Lord
, who is worthy of praise,
and he saved me from my enemies.
4
The ropes of death entangled me;
floods of destruction swept over me.
5
The grave wrapped its ropes around me;
death laid a trap in my path.
6
But in my distress I cried out to the
Lord
;
yes, I prayed to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
my cry to him reached his ears.
7
Then the earth quaked and trembled.
The foundations of the mountains shook;
they quaked because of his anger.
8
Smoke poured from his nostrils;
fierce flames leaped from his mouth.
Glowing coals blazed forth from him.
9
He opened the heavens and came down;
dark storm clouds were beneath his feet.
10
Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew,
soaring on the wings of the wind.
11
He shrouded himself in darkness,
veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.
12
Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him
and rained down hail and burning coals.
13
The
Lord
thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded
amid the hail and burning coals.
14
He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;
great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.
15
Then at your command, O
Lord
,
at the blast of your breath,
the bottom of the sea could be seen,
and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.
16
He reached down from heaven and rescued me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
17
He rescued me from my powerful enemies,
from those who hated me and were too strong for me.
18
They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,
but the
Lord
supported me.
19
He led me to a place of safety;
he rescued me because he delights in me.
20
The
Lord
rewarded me for doing right;
he restored me because of my innocence.
21
For I have kept the ways of the
Lord
;
I have not turned from my God to follow evil.
22
I have followed all his regulations;
I have never abandoned his decrees.
23
I am blameless before God;
I have kept myself from sin.
24
The
Lord
rewarded me for doing right.
He has seen my innocence.
25
To the faithful you show yourself faithful;
to those with integrity you show integrity.
26
To the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
27
You rescue the humble,
but you humiliate the proud.
28
You light a lamp for me.
The
Lord
, my God, lights up my darkness.
29
In your strength I can crush an army;
with my God I can scale any wall.
30
God’s way is perfect.
All the
Lord
’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
2
The
Lord
is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3
I call upon the
Lord
, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
4
The cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
5
the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6
In 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.
7
Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
8
Smoke went up from his nostrils,
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9
He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.
10
He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him,
thick clouds dark with water.
12
Out of the brightness before him
hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
13
The
Lord
also thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his voice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
14
And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.
15
Then the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rebuke, O
Lord
,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16
He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
17
He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the
Lord
was my support.
19
He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
20
The
Lord
dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
21
For I have kept the ways of the
Lord
,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22
For all his rules were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23
I was blameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
24
So the
Lord
has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25
With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
26
with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27
For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
28
For it is you who light my lamp;
the
Lord
my God lightens my darkness.
29
For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30
This God — his way is perfect;
the word of the
Lord
proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
New International Version

2
The
Lord
is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3
I called to the
Lord
, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
4
The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
5
The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6
In my distress I called to the
Lord
;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
7
The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
8
Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
9
He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
10
He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12
Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13
The
Lord
thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
14
He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
15
The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke,
Lord
,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
16
He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
17
He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the
Lord
was my support.
19
He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
20
The
Lord
has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
21
For I have kept the ways of the
Lord
;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
22
All his laws are before me;
I have not turned away from his decrees.
23
I have been blameless before him
and have kept myself from sin.
24
The
Lord
has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25
To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26
to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
27
You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28
You,
Lord
, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
29
With your help I can advance against a troop ;
with my God I can scale a wall.
30
As for God, his way is perfect:
The
Lord
’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
New King James Version
Chapter 18
2
The

My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3
I will call upon the
Lord
,
who is worthy

So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4
The pangs of death surrounded me,
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5
The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6
In my distress I called upon the

And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,

7
Then the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
8
Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And devouring fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.
9
He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With darkness under His feet.
10
And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness His secret place;
His canopy around Him
was
dark waters
And

12
From the brightness before Him,
His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
13
The
Lord
thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14
He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15
Then the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O
Lord
,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16
He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18
They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the
Lord
was my support.
19
He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20
The

For I have kept the ways of the

And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22
For all His judgments
were
before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23
I was also blameless before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24
Therefore the
Lord
has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25
With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26
With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
27
For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down haughty looks.
28
For You will light my lamp;
The
Lord
my God will enlighten my darkness.
29
For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30
As for
God, His way
is
perfect;
The word of the
Lord
is proven;
He
is
