00:00.000 --> 00:01.220
Psalm 18.

00:02.640 --> 00:07.460
To the chief musician, the psalm of David,
the servant of the Lord, who spake unto

00:07.460 --> 00:11.740
the Lord the words of this song in the day
that the Lord delivered him from the hand

00:11.740 --> 00:14.100
of all his enemies and from the hand of
Saul.

00:15.100 --> 00:19.180
And he said, I will love thee,
O Lord, my strength.

00:19.620 --> 00:26.420
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my
deliverer, my God, my strength,

00:26.500 --> 00:31.780
in whom I will trust, my buckler and the
horn of my salvation and my high tower.

00:32.540 --> 00:37.180
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy
to be praised, so shall I be saved from

00:37.180 --> 00:37.680
mine enemies.

00:38.840 --> 00:42.740
The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the floods of ungodly men made me

00:42.740 --> 00:43.120
afraid.

00:44.000 --> 00:45.920
The sorrows of hell compassed me about.

00:46.620 --> 00:48.380
The snares of death prevented me.

00:49.420 --> 00:53.060
In my distress, I called upon the Lord and
cried unto my God.

00:53.840 --> 00:58.120
He heard my voice out of his temple,
and my cry came before him, even into his

00:58.120 --> 00:58.440
ears.

00:59.360 --> 01:01.180
Then the earth shook and trembled.

01:01.820 --> 01:05.840
The foundations also of the hills moved
and were shaken, because he was wrath.

01:06.980 --> 01:10.660
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
and fire out of his mouth devoured.

01:11.240 --> 01:12.820
Coals were kindled by it.

01:13.760 --> 01:17.900
He bowed the heavens also and came down,
and darkness was under his feet.

01:18.540 --> 01:21.280
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly.

01:21.920 --> 01:23.960
Yea, he did fly upon the wings of the
wind.

01:25.020 --> 01:26.660
He made darkness his secret place.

01:27.660 --> 01:32.200
His pavilion round about him were dark
waters and thick clouds of the skies.

01:33.480 --> 01:38.040
At the brightness that was before him,
his thick clouds passed, hailstones and

01:38.040 --> 01:38.820
coals of fire.

01:39.760 --> 01:43.540
The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
and the highest gave his voice,

01:44.060 --> 01:45.720
hailstones and coals of fire.

01:46.620 --> 01:50.440
Yea, he sent out his arrows and scattered
them, and he shot out lightnings and

01:50.440 --> 01:51.180
discomfited them.

01:52.180 --> 01:56.120
Then the channels of waters were seen,
and the foundations of the world were

01:56.120 --> 01:59.540
discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of the breath of thy

01:59.540 --> 02:00.020
nostrils.

02:00.920 --> 02:02.080
He sent from above.

02:02.760 --> 02:03.380
He took me.

02:04.240 --> 02:05.740
He drew me out of many waters.

02:06.480 --> 02:10.740
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
and from them which hated me, for they

02:10.740 --> 02:11.820
were too strong for me.

02:12.500 --> 02:16.940
They prevented me in the day of my
calamity, but the Lord was my stay.

02:17.780 --> 02:20.080
He brought me forth also into a large
place.

02:20.580 --> 02:22.780
He delivered me because he delighted in
me.

02:23.780 --> 02:27.740
The Lord rewarded me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness

02:27.740 --> 02:29.720
of my hands hath he recompensed me.

02:30.720 --> 02:34.740
For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my

02:34.740 --> 02:35.040
God.

02:35.900 --> 02:39.760
For all his judgments were before me,
and I did not put away his statutes from

02:39.760 --> 02:39.960
me.

02:40.700 --> 02:44.820
I was also upright before him,
and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

02:45.960 --> 02:48.980
Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me
according to my righteousness,

02:49.780 --> 02:52.300
according to the cleanness of my hands in
his eyesight.

02:53.620 --> 02:55.800
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself
merciful.

02:56.740 --> 02:59.660
With an upright man thou wilt show thyself
upright.

03:00.400 --> 03:02.420
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure.

03:02.840 --> 03:05.580
And with the froward thou wilt show
thyself froward.

03:06.560 --> 03:10.320
For thou wilt save the afflicted people,
but wilt bring down high looks.

03:11.200 --> 03:12.520
For thou wilt light my candle.

03:13.300 --> 03:15.480
The Lord my God will enlighten my
darkness.

03:16.540 --> 03:22.000
For by thee I have run through a troop,
and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

03:23.020 --> 03:24.980
As for God, his way is perfect.

03:25.680 --> 03:27.020
The word of the Lord is tried.

03:27.880 --> 03:29.860
He is a buckler to all those that trust in
him.

03:30.560 --> 03:32.160
For who is God save the Lord?

03:32.760 --> 03:34.620
Or who is a rock save our God?

03:35.480 --> 03:39.580
It is God that girdeth me with strength
and maketh my way perfect.

03:40.580 --> 03:44.660
He maketh my feet like hind's feet,
and setteth me upon my high places.

03:45.780 --> 03:49.880
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow
of steel is broken by mine arms.

03:51.060 --> 03:55.760
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy
salvation, and thy right hand hath holden

03:55.760 --> 03:58.560
me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
great.

03:59.600 --> 04:03.500
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,
that my feet did not slip.

04:04.460 --> 04:07.140
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken
them.

04:07.940 --> 04:09.880
Neither did I turn again till they were
consumed.

04:10.680 --> 04:13.000
I have wounded them that they were not
able to rise.

04:13.700 --> 04:15.040
They are fallen under my feet.

04:15.900 --> 04:18.260
For thou hast girded me with strength unto
the battle.

04:19.020 --> 04:21.560
Thou hast subdued under me those that rose
up against me.

04:22.620 --> 04:26.640
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine
enemies, that I might destroy them that

04:26.640 --> 04:27.020
hate me.

04:27.760 --> 04:30.980
They cried, but there was none to save
them, even unto the Lord.

04:31.540 --> 04:32.640
But he answered them not.

04:33.640 --> 04:36.460
Then did I beat them small as the dust
before the wind.

04:37.040 --> 04:39.220
I did cast them out as the dirt in the
streets.

04:40.380 --> 04:43.940
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings
of the people, and thou hast made me the

04:43.940 --> 04:44.680
head of the heathen.

04:45.440 --> 04:47.640
A people whom I have not known shall serve
me.

04:48.520 --> 04:50.660
As soon as they hear of me, they shall
obey me.

04:51.240 --> 04:53.400
The strangers shall submit themselves unto
me.

04:54.140 --> 04:57.400
The strangers shall fade away and be
afraid out of their close places.

04:58.400 --> 05:02.880
The Lord liveth, and blessed be my rock,
and let the God of my salvation be

05:02.880 --> 05:03.260
exalted.

05:04.120 --> 05:07.380
It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth
the people under me.

05:08.240 --> 05:09.660
He delivereth me from mine enemies.

05:10.200 --> 05:12.840
Yea, thou liftest me up above those that
rise up against me.

05:13.620 --> 05:15.580
Thou hast delivered me from the violent
man.

05:16.640 --> 05:20.640
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee,
O Lord, among the heathen, and sing

05:20.640 --> 05:21.760
praises unto thy name.

05:22.520 --> 05:26.940
Great deliverance giveth he to his king,
and showeth mercy to his anointed,

05:27.560 --> 05:30.300
to David, and to his seed forevermore.
