Psalms 18:2-17

²the Lord is my steadfastness, and my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is mine helper; and I shall hope in him. My defender, and the horn of mine health; and mine up-taker.

³I shall praise, and inwardly call the Lord; and I shall be safe from mine enemies.

⁴The sorrows of death encompassed me; and the strands or streams of wickedness have troubled me.

⁵The sorrows of hell encompassed me; the snares of death before-occupied me.

⁶In my tribulation I inwardly called the Lord; and I cried to my God. And he heard my voice from his holy temple; and my cry in his sight entered into his ears.

⁷The earth was moved together, and trembled greatly; the foundaments of hills were troubled altogether, and moved together, for he was wroth to them.

⁸Smoke went up in the ire or wrath of the Lord, and fire burnt out from his face; coals were kindled of him.

⁹He bowed down heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

¹⁰And he ascended or went on cherubim, and flew; he flew over the pens of winds.

¹¹And he setted or put darknesses his hiding place, his tabernacle in his compass; and dark water was in the clouds of the air.

¹²Full clear clouds passed in his sight; hail and the coals of fire.

¹³And the Lord thundered from heaven; and the Highest gave his voice, hail and coals of fire.

¹⁴And he sent his arrows, and destroyed those men; he multiplied lightnings, and troubled those men.

¹⁵And the wells of waters appeared; and the foundaments of the earth were showed. Lord, of thy blaming; of the breathing of the spirit of thine ire.

¹⁶He sent from the highest place, and took me; and he took me from many waters.

¹⁷He delivered me from my strongest enemies; and from them that hated me, for they were comforted on me.
