Psalms 18:7-27

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.

¹⁸They came before me in the day of my torment; and the Lord was made my defender.

¹⁹And he led out me into breadth; he made me safe, for he would me.

²⁰And the Lord shall yield to me by my rightfulness or rightwiseness; and he shall yield to me by the cleanness of mine hands.

²¹For I kept the ways of the Lord; and I did not go away unfaithfully from my God.

²²For all his dooms be in my sight; and I putted not away from me his rightfulnesses or rightwisenesses.

²³And I shall be unwemmed with him; and I shall keep me from my wickedness.

²⁴And the Lord shall yield to me by my rightfulness or rightwiseness; and by the cleanness of mine hands in the sight of his eyes.

²⁵With the holy, thou shalt be holy; and with an innocent man, thou shalt be innocent.

²⁶And with a chosen man, thou shalt be chosen; and with a wayward man, thou shalt be wayward.

²⁷For thou shalt make safe a meek people; and thou shalt make meek the eyes of proud men.
