Psalms 18:7-27

⁷And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake — because He hath wrath.

⁸Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

⁹And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness is under His feet.

¹⁰And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.

¹¹He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

¹²From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.

¹³And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.

¹⁴And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.

¹⁵And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.

¹⁶He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

¹⁷He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.

¹⁸They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

¹⁹And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

²⁰Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

²¹For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

²²For all His judgments are before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.

²³And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

²⁴And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.

²⁵With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.

²⁶With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,

²⁷For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.
