CHAP. XVIII.
Dauid praiseth God for his manifold and marueilous blessings.
2The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and my deliuerer: my God, my strength in whome I will trust, my buckler, and the horne of my saluation, and my high tower.2
3I will call vpon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saued from mine enemies.
4The sorrowes of death compassed me, and the floods of vngodly men made me afraid.4
5The sorrowes of hell compassed me about: the snares of death preuented me.5
8There went vp a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth deuoured, coales were kindled by it.8
9He bowed the heauens also, and came downe: and darkenesse was vnder his feet.
10And he rode vpon a Cherub, and did flie: yea he did flie vpon the wings of the wind.
12At the brightnes that was before him his thicke clouds passed, haile stones and coales of fire.
14Yea, he sent out his arrowes, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
16He sent from aboue, he tooke me, he drew me out of many waters.16
18They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
19He brought me forth also into a large place: he deliuered me, because he delighted in me.
21For I haue kept the wayes of the Lord, and haue not wickedly departed from my God.
22For all his iudgements were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23I was also vpright before him: and I kept my selfe from mine iniquity.23
24Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousnesse, according to the cleannesse of my hands in his eye-sight.24
26With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shew thy selfe froward.26
27For thou wilt saue the afflicted people: but wilt bring downe high lookes.
28For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkenesse.28
29For by thee I haue run through a troupe? and by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall.29
30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.30
31For who is God saue the Lord? or who is a rocke saue our God?31
32It is God that girdeth mee with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33Hee maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon my high places.
34He teacheth my hands to warre, so that a bow of steele is broken by mine armes.
35Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation: and thy right hand hath holden me vp, and thy gentlenesse hath made me great.35
36Thou hast enlarged my steppes vnder me; that my feete did not slippe.36
37I haue pursued mine enemies, and ouertaken them: neither did I turne againe till they were consumed.
38I haue wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
39For thou hast girded mee with strength vnto the battell: thou hast subdued vnder me, those that rose vp against me.39
40Thou hast also giuen mee the neckes of mine enemies: that I might destroy them that hate me.
41They cried, but there was none to saue them: euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not.
44As soone as they heare of mee, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselues vnto me.44
45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46The Lord liueth, and blessed be my rocke: and let the God of my saluation be exalted.
47It is God that auengeth mee, and subdueth the people vnder me.47
48He deliuereth me from mine enemies: yea thou liftest mee vp aboue those that rise vp against me; thou hast deliuered me from the violent man.48
49Therfore will I giue thankes vnto thee, (O Lord) among the heathen: and sing prayses vnto thy name.49
