Psalms 18:9-39 in American Standard Version (1901)

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Jehovah 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; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18 They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Jehovah hath 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 Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.
23 I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
28 For thou wilt light my lamp: Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I run upon a troop; And by my God do I leap over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
31 For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,
32 The God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect?
33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: And setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war; So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
38 I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Psalms 18 in American Standard Version (1901)

Psalms 18:9-39 in Brenton Septuagint Translation

9 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.
11 To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
12 For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them there is great reward.
13 Who will understand his transgressions? purge thou me from my secret sins.
14 And spare thy servant the attack of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.
15 So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.

Psalms 18:9-39 in King James Version + Apocrypha

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.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Psalms 18:9-39 in Translation for Translators

9 He opened the sky and came down with a black cloud under his feet.
10 He flew, riding on the back of a creature that had wings, traveling fast, blown along by the wind.
11 Darkness was all around him like a blanket MET; dark clouds, full of moisture, covered him MET.
12 Hailstones and flashes of lightning were around him; hail and burning coals fell from the sky.
13 Then Yahweh spoke in a loud voice from the sky, and his enemies heard his voice that sounded like thunder.
14 He shot his arrows at them and caused them to scatter; His flashes of lightning caused them to become very confused (OR, to run away).
15 The bottom of the ocean became visible, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered, when Yahweh rebuked his enemies when he snorted.
16 It was as though he reached down from heaven and grabbed me and pulled me up out of the deep ocean.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemies who hated me; they were very strong, with the result that I could not defeat them.
18 When I ◄was distressed/had troubles►, they attacked me, but Yahweh defended/protected me.
19 He led me to a place where I was safe; he rescued me because he was pleased with me.
20 Yahweh has rewarded me because I do what is right; he has blessed me because I ◄am innocent/have not done things that are wrong►.
21 I have obeyed Yahweh's laws; I have not abandoned him.
22 My behavior was directed by his rules; I have not stopped obeying them.
23 He knows that I have not done what is wrong; I have kept myself from sinning.
24 So he rewards me because I do what is right; he knows that I SYN have not committed sins.
25 Yahweh, you are faithful to those who faithfully do what you tell them to do; you always do what is good/right to those who do what you want them to do.
26 You are kind to those who are kind to others, but you act wisely toward those who ◄act perversely/do bad things►.
27 You save those who are humble, but you cause those who are proud to be humiliated/ashamed.
28 You give light to my soul/spirit; you take away the darkness of my soul.
29 You enable me to be strong, with the result that I can run and attack a line of enemy soldiers; with your help I can ◄scale/climb up► the walls that surround my enemies' cities.
30 Everything that Yahweh my God does is perfect. We can depend on him to do what he promises. He is like a shield MET to protect all those who go to him for refuge.
31 Yahweh is RHQ the only one who is God; only he is like an overhanging rock under which we can be safe.
32 God is the one who enables me to be strong and who keeps me safe on the roads that I walk on.
33 He enables me to walk swiftly without stumbling, like a deer walks/runs in the mountains.
34 He teaches me how to use a strong/metal bow in order that I can use it to fight in battles.
35 Yahweh, you protect and save me with your shield; you have made me safe by your power MTY. I have become ◄strong/a great king► because you have helped me.
36 You havecleared the road for me, with the result that now I do not slip/stumble.
37 I have pursued my enemies and caught them; I did not stop until I had defeated/killed them all.
38 When I strike them, they are not able to get up again; they lie on the ground, defeated.
39 You have enabled me to be strong in order that I can fight battles and defeat my enemies.

Psalms 18 in World English Bible British Edition with Deuterocanon

Psalms 18:9-39 in Bible in Basic English

9 The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.
10 And he went in flight through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.
11 He made the dark his secret place; his tent round him was the dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and fire.
13 The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out: a rain of ice and fire.
14 He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.
15 Then the deep beds of the waters were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of your words of wrath, O Lord, because of the breath from your mouth.
16 He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.
17 He made me free from my strong hater, and from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.
18 They came on me in the day of my trouble; but the Lord was my support.
19 He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.
20 The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.
22 For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.
23 And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin.
24 Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.
25 On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;
26 He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.
27 For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but eyes full of pride will be made low.
28 You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me.
29 By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in; by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him.
31 For who is God but the Lord? or who is a Rock but our God?
32 God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.
33 He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.
34 He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.
35 You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.
36 You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping.
37 I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.
38 I will give them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.
39 For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who come out against me.

Psalms 18:9-39 in Darby Translation

9 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered mine enemies; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Jehovah hath 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 Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
23 And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
28 For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth 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 Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
31 For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
32 The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places;
34 Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
35 And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
37 I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
38 I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
39 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
Psalms 18 in Darby Translation

Psalms 18:9-39 in Douay-Rheims 1899

9 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
11 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
14 And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.

Psalms 18:9-39 in Free Bible Version

9 He parted the heavens and came down, with dark clouds beneath his feet.
10 Riding on an angel he flew, swooping on the wings of the wind.
11 He hid himself in darkness, covering himself with black thunderclouds.
12 Hailstones and burning coals flew out from his brightness, passing through his thick clouds.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High sounded among the hailstones and burning coals.
14 He fired his arrows, scattering his enemies; he routed them with his lightning bolts.
15 You roared, Lord, and by the wind from the breath of your nostrils the valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth were uncovered.
16 He reached down his hand from above and grabbed hold of me. He pulled me out of the deep water.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and who were much stronger than me.
18 They came at me at my worst possible moment, but the Lord supported me.
19 He set me free, he rescued me because he's my friend.
20 The Lord rewarded me because I do what's right; he repaid me because I am innocent.
21 For I have followed the Lord's ways; I have not sinned by turning away from my God.
22 I have kept all his laws in mind; I have not ignored his commandments.
23 I am blameless in his sight; I keep myself from sinning.
24 The Lord rewarded me for doing what's right. I am innocent in his sight.
25 You show trust to those who trust; you show integrity to those with integrity,
26 You show yourself pure to those who are pure, but you show yourself smart to those who are crafty.
27 You save the humble, but you bring down the proud.
28 You light my lamp! Lord, my God, you light up my darkness!
29 With you, I can charge down a troop of soldiers; with you, my God, I can climb a fortress wall.
30 God's way is absolutely right. What the Lord says is trustworthy. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
31 For who is God except the Lord? Who is the rock, except our God?
32 God makes me strong and keeps me safe.
33 He makes me surefooted like the deer, able to walk the heights in safety.
34 He teaches me how to fight in battle; he gives me the strength to draw a bronze bow.
35 You protect me with the shield of your salvation; you support me with your powerful right hand; your help has made me great.
36 You gave me space in which to walk, and prevented my feet from slipping.
37 I chased my enemies, and caught up with them. I did not turn around until I had destroyed them.
38 I struck them down—they couldn't get up. They fell at my feet.
39 You made me strong for battle; you made those who rose up against me kneel down before me.

Psalms 18:9-39 in Geneva Bible 1599

9 He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
10 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
11 He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
12 At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
13 The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
14 Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
15 And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
16 He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
17 He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
19 Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
21 Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
22 For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
23 I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
25 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
26 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
27 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
28 Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
29 For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
30 The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?
32 God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
33 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
34 He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
35 Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
37 I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
38 I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.

9 (18-10) He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
10 (18-11) And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
11 (18-12) He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 (18-13) At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
13 (18-14) The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
14 (18-15) And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 (18-16) And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
16 (18-17) He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17 (18-18) He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
18 (18-19) They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
19 (18-20) He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
20 (18-21) The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
21 (18-22) For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 (18-23) For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
23 (18-24) And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 (18-25) Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
25 (18-26) With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
26 (18-27) With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
27 (18-28) For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
28 (18-29) For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
29 (18-30) For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
30 (18-31) As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
31 (18-32) For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
32 (18-33) The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
33 (18-34) Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
34 (18-35) Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
35 (18-36) Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
36 (18-37) Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
37 (18-38) I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
38 (18-39) I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
39 (18-40) For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

9 (18:10) And he bent the heavens, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet:
10 (18:11) And he rode upon a cherub, and flew along, and he flitted by upon the wings of the wind.
11 (18:12) He made darkness his hiding-place, round about him as his pavilion, dark waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 (18:13) From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed away, with hail-stones and coals of fire.

15 (18:16) And then were seen the channels of the waters, and there were laid open the foundations of the world, through thy rebuke, O Lord, through the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 (18:17) He stretched out from above his hand, he took me; he drew me out from mighty waters.
17 (18:18) He delivered me from my enemy, the strong, and from those that hated me, when they were too mighty for me.
18 (18:19) They overcame me on the day of my calamity; but the Lord became my stay.

23 (18:24) I was also upright with him, and I guarded myself against my iniquity.
24 (18:25) Therefore did the Lord recompense me according to my righteousness, according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.

31 (18:32) For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock beside our God?
32 (18:33) He is the God that girdeth me with strength, and rendereth my way unobstructed.
33 (18:34) He maketh my feet like those of the hinds, and upon my high-places he causeth me to stand.
34 (18:35) He teacheth my hands for the war, so that a brazen bow is bent by my arms.
35 (18:36) And thou gavest me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand supported me: and thy meekness hath made me great.

9 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever and ever: The judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether.
11 To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keeps to them: In the keeping of them there is great reward.
13 Who will understand his transgressions? Purge thou me from my secret sins.
14 And spare thy servant the attack of strangers: If they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, And I shall be clear from great sin.
15 So shall the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.

Psalms 18:9-39 in George Noyes Bible

9 He bowed the heavens, 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 And he made darkness his covering; His pavilion round about him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness before him, his thick clouds passed away; Then came hailstones and coals of fire.
13 The LORD also thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice, Amid hailstones and coals of fire.
14 He sent forth his arrows, and scattered them; Continual lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of the deep were seen, And the foundations of the earth were laid bare At thy rebuke, O LORD! At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He stretched forth his hand from above; he took me, And drew me out of deep waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy; From my adversaries, who were too powerful for me.
18 They fell upon me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay.
19 He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The LORD hath rewarded me according to my righteous; 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 laws were in my sight; I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was upright before him, And kept myself from iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
25 To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; To the upright thou showest thyself upright;
26 To the pure thou showest thyself pure, And to the perverse thou showest thyself perverse.
27 For thou savest the afflicted people, But the haughty countenance thou bringest down.
28 Thou causest my lamp to shine; Jehovah, my God, enlighteneth my darkness.
29 For through thee I have broken through troops; Through my God I have leaped over walls.
30 The ways of God are just and true; His word is pure, tried in the fire; He is a shield to all who put their trust in him.
31 Who, then, is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
32 It is God that girded me with strength, And made my way plain.
33 He made my feet like the hind's, And set me in my high places;
34 He taught my hands to war, So that my arm bent the bow of brass.
35 Thou gavest me the shield of thy protection; Thy right hand held me up, And thy goodness made me great.
36 Thou didst make a wide path for my steps, So that my feet did not stumble.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And turned not back till I had destroyed them.
38 I smote them, so that they could not rise; They fell under my feet.
39 Thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; Thou didst cast down my adversaries under me.

9 Then he bent the sky and came down, thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew, darting on wings of wind,
11 with his screen of darkness about him, in thick dark clouds of water.
12 At the radiance before him there passed hailstones and coals of fire.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven, the Most High uttered his voice.
14 He shot his arrows and scattered them, flashed lightnings, and routed them.
15 The channels of the sea were revealed, the world was laid bare to its base, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 He stretched from on high, he seized me, drew me up from the mighty waters,
17 and saved me from those who hated me — fierce foes, too mighty for me.
18 In my day of distress they assailed me, but the Lord proved my support.
19 To a spacious place he brought me, and, for love of me, he saved me.
20 The Lord repays my innocence, he rewards my cleanness of hands.
21 For I kept the ways of the Lord, nor have wickedly strayed from my God.
22 His commandments were all before me, his statutes I put not away.
23 And I was blameless before him, guarding myself from sin.
24 So the Lord repaid my innocence, my cleanness of hands in his sight.
25 With the loyal you are loyal, and with the blameless blameless.
26 With the pure you show yourself pure, but shrewd with the devious.
27 For the lowly people you save, but haughty eyes you abase.
28 You are my lamp, Lord, my God who enlightens my darkness.
29 With you I can storm a rampart, with my God I can leap a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is shield to all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God but the Lord? And who is a rock but our God?
32 The God who arms me with strength, who cleared and smoothed my way.
33 He made my feet like hinds' feet, and set me up on the heights.
34 He taught my hands how to fight, and my arms how to bend a bronze bow.
35 The shield of your help you gave me, your right hand supports me, you stoop down to make me great.
36 In your strength I took giant strides, and my feet never slipped.
37 So I chased the foe till I caught them, and turned not, till I made an end of them.
38 I smashed them, they could not rise, they fell beneath my feet.
39 You did arm me with strength for war, you did bow my assailants beneath me.

32 The God who arms me with strength, who cleared and smoothed my way.
33 He made my feet like hinds' feet, and set me up on the heights.
34 He taught my hands how to fight, and my arms how to bend a bronze bow.
35 The shield of your help you gave me, your right hand supports me, you stoop down to make me great.
36 In your strength I took giant strides, and my feet never slipped.
37 So I chased the foe till I caught them, and turned not, till I made an end of them.
38 I smashed them, they could not rise, they fell beneath my feet.
39 You did arm me with strength for war, you did bow my assailants beneath me.

Psalms [Praises] 18:9-39 in One Unity Resource Bible

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Adonai also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
15 Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Adonai , 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 delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Adonai was my support.
19 He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Adonai has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of Adonai , and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me. I didn’t put away his regulations from me.
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore Adonai has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
26 With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
27 For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.
28 For you will light my lamp, Adonai . My God will light up my darkness.
29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect. Adonai ’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God, except Adonai ? Who is a rock, besides our God,
32 the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
33 He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me the shield of your yesha' ·salvation·. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
37 I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.
38 I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
39 For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

Psalms 18:9-39 in Unlocked Literal Bible

9 He opened the heavens and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew; he glided on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness a tent around him, heavy rainclouds in the skies.
12 Hailstones and coals of fire fell from the lightning before him.
13 Yahweh thundered in the heavens! The voice of the Most High shouted.
14 He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; many lightning bolts dispersed them.
15 Then the water channels appeared; the foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 He reached down from above; he took hold of me! He pulled me out of the surging water.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.
18 They came against me on the day of my distress but Yahweh was my support!
19 He set me free in a wide open place; he saved me because he was pleased with me.
20 Yahweh has rewarded me because of my righteousness; he has restored me because my hands were clean.
21 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh and have not wickedly turned away from my God.
22 For all his righteous decrees have been before me; as for his statutes, I have not turned away from them.
23 I have also been innocent before him, and I have kept myself from sin.
24 Therefore Yahweh has restored me because of my righteousness, because my hands were clean before his eyes.
25 To anyone who is faithful, you show yourself to be faithful; to a man who is blameless, you show yourself to be blameless.
26 To anyone who is pure, you show yourself pure; but you are clever toward anyone who is twisted.
27 For you save afflicted people, but you bring down those with proud, uplifted eyes!
28 For you give light to my lamp; Yahweh my God lights up my darkness.
29 For by you I can run over a barricade; by my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God—his way is perfect! The word of Yahweh is pure! He is a shield to everyone who takes refuge in him.
31 For who is God except Yahweh? Who is a rock except our God?
32 It is God who puts strength on me like a belt, who places the blameless person on his path.
33 He makes my feet swift like a deer and places me on the heights!
34 He trains my hands for war and my arms to bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand has supported me, and your favor has made me great.
36 You have made a wide place for my feet beneath me so that my feet have not slipped.
37 I pursued my enemies and caught them; I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
38 I smashed them so that they were unable to rise; they have fallen under my feet.
39 For you put strength on me like a belt for battle; you put under me those who rise up against me.

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew; yes, he flew upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around 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 Yes, 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 uncovered 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 who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also in 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 my iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
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.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet , and setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have fallen under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Psalms 18:9-39 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

9 He bowed down heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he ascended or went on cherubim, and flew; he flew over the pens of winds.
11 And he setted or put darknesses his hiding place, his tabernacle in his compass; and dark water was in the clouds of the air.
12 Full clear clouds passed in his sight; hail and the coals of fire.
13 And the Lord thundered from heaven; and the Highest gave his voice, hail and coals of fire.
14 And he sent his arrows, and destroyed those men; he multiplied lightnings, and troubled those men.
15 And 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.
16 He sent from the highest place, and took me; and he took me from many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strongest enemies; and from them that hated me, for they were comforted on me.
18 They came before me in the day of my torment; and the Lord was made my defender.
19 And he led out me into breadth; he made me safe, for he would me.
20 And the Lord shall yield to me by my rightfulness or rightwiseness; and he shall yield to me by the cleanness of mine hands.
21 For I kept the ways of the Lord; and I did not go away unfaithfully from my God.
22 For all his dooms be in my sight; and I putted not away from me his rightfulnesses or rightwisenesses.
23 And I shall be unwemmed with him; and I shall keep me from my wickedness.
24 And the Lord shall yield to me by my rightfulness or rightwiseness; and by the cleanness of mine hands in the sight of his eyes.
25 With the holy, thou shalt be holy; and with an innocent man, thou shalt be innocent.
26 And with a chosen man, thou shalt be chosen; and with a wayward man, thou shalt be wayward.
27 For thou shalt make safe a meek people; and thou shalt make meek the eyes of proud men.
28 For thou, Lord, lightenest my lantern; my God, lighten thou my darknesses.
29 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and in my God I shall go over the wall.
30 My God, his way is undefouled; the speeches of the Lord be examined by fire; he is the defender of all men hoping in him.
31 For why, who is God, except the Lord? either who is God, except our God?
32 God that hath girded me with virtue; and hath set my way unwem-med.
33 Which made perfect my feet as the feet of harts; and ordaining me on high things.
34 Which teacheth mine hands to battle; and thou hast set mine arms as a brazen bow.
35 And thou hast given to me the covering of thine health; and thy right hand hath up-taken me. And thy chastising amended me into the end; and that chastising of thee shall teach me.
36 Thou alargedest my paces under me; and my steps be not made un-steadfast.
37 I shall pursue mine enemies, and I shall take them; and I shall not turn till they fail.
38 I shall all-break them, and they shall not be able to stand; they shall fall under my feet.
39 And thou hast girded me with virtue to battle; and thou hast overturned under me men rising against me.

Psalms 18:9-39 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling (Enhanced)

9 He bowed down (the) heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he ascended on cherubim, and flew; he flew over the pens of winds. (And he went up on cherubim, and flew; yea, he flew upon the wings of the wind.)
11 And he setted darknesses his hiding place, his tabernacle in his compass; and dark water was in the clouds of the air. (And he made the darkness his hiding place; and the clouds of the heavens, which were filled with water, surrounded him.)
12 Full clear clouds passed in his sight; hail and the coals of fire.
13 And the Lord thundered from heaven; and the highest gave his voice, hail and coals of fire. (And the Lord thundered from the heavens; yea, the Most High sent forth his voice, and hail, and coals of fire.)
14 And he sent his arrows, and destroyed those men; he multiplied lightnings, and troubled those men.
15 And 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. (And the seabed appeared; and the foundations of the earth were uncovered. Yea, by the Lord’s rebuke; by the blast of the breath from his nostrils.)
16 He sent from the highest place, and took me; and he took me from many waters. (He reached down from the highest place, and took hold of me; yea, he took me out of the deep waters.)
17 He delivered me from my strongest enemies; and from them that hated me, for they were comforted on me. (He rescued me from my strongest enemies; yea, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.)
18 They came before me in the day of my torment; and the Lord was made my defender.
19 And he led out me into breadth; he made me safe, for he would me. (And he led me out into an open place; he saved me, for he delighted in me.)
20 And the Lord shall yield to me by my rightfulness; and he shall yield to me by the cleanness of mine hands. (And the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; he rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.)
21 For I (have) kept the ways of the Lord; and I did not (go away) unfaithfully from my God.
22 For all his dooms be in my sight; and I putted not away from me his rightfulnesses. (For all his laws were before me; and I did not go away from his commands.)
23 And I shall be unwemmed with him; and I shall keep me from my wickedness. (And I was without blemish, or without fault, before him; for I have kept myself from my own wickedness.)
24 And the Lord shall yield to me by my rightfulness; and by the cleanness of mine hands in the sight of his eyes. (And so the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; and according to the cleanness of my hands before him.)
25 With the holy, thou shalt be holy; and with an innocent man, thou shalt be innocent. (With the holy, O Lord, thou shalt be holy; and with the innocent, thou shalt be innocent.)
26 And with a chosen man, thou shalt be chosen; and with a wayward man, thou shalt be wayward. (And with the chosen, thou shalt be chosen; but to the wicked, thou shalt be vengeful, or punishing.)
27 For thou shalt make safe a meek people; and thou shalt make meek the eyes of proud men. (And thou shalt save, or help, the poor; but thou shalt humble those who be high in their own eyes or but thou shalt look with contempt upon the proud.)
28 For thou, Lord, lightenest my lantern; my God, lighten thou my darknesses. (For thou, Lord, brightenest my lantern; my God, thou lightest up my darknesses.)
29 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and in my God I shall go over the wall. (For I shall be rescued,or saved, from temptation by thee; and by my God or and with God’s help, I shall go over the wall.)
30 My God, his way is undefouled; the speeches of the Lord be examined by fire; he is the defender of all men hoping in him. (My God, his way is undefiled; the words of the Lord be assayed by fire, that is, they be tried and tested, and found to be true; he is the defender of all who put their trust in him.)
31 For why, who is God, except the Lord? either who is God, except our God? (For who else is God, except the Lord? yea, who else is God, except our God?)
32 God that hath girded me with virtue; and hath set my way unwemmed. (God who hath girded me with strength; and hath made my way without blemish, or without fault.)
33 Which made perfect my feet as the feet of harts; and ordaining me on high things. (Who made my feet like the feet of harts; and hath ordained me upon the high places.)
34 Which teacheth mine hands to battle; and thou hast set mine arms as a brazen bow. (Who teacheth my hands in battle; and now my arms can break a bronze bow.)
35 And thou hast given to me the covering of thine health; and thy right hand hath up-taken me, (or And thou hast given me the covering of thy salvation, or thy deliverance; and thy right hand hath taken me up). And thy chastising amended me into the end; and that chastising of thee shall teach me.
36 Thou alargedest my paces under me; and my steps be not made unsteadfast. (Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet have not slipped, or stumbled.)
37 I shall pursue mine enemies, and I shall take (hold of) them; and I shall not turn (again) till they fail (or and I shall not return until they fall).
38 I shall all-break them, and they shall not be able to stand; they shall fall under my feet.
39 And thou hast girded me with virtue to battle; and thou hast overturned under me men rising against me. (And thou hast girded me with strength for the battle; and thou hast put beneath me those who rose up against me.)

Psalms 18:9-39 in Young's Literal Translation

9 And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness is under His feet.
10 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.
11 He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
13 And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
14 And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.
15 And 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.
16 He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
17 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.
18 They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.
19 And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.
20 Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
22 For all His judgments are before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.
23 And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
24 And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.
25 With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.
26 With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,
27 For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.
28 For Thou — Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
29 For by Thee I run — a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.
30 God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him.
31 For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is a rock save our God?
32 God! who is girding me with strength, And He maketh perfect my way.
33 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.
34 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.
35 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
36 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
37 I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
38 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
39 And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.
