시편 18편 BSB
- 1 I love You, O LORD, my strength.
- 2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
- 3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
- 4 The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
- 5 The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
- 6 In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.
- 7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
- 8 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
- 9 He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
- 10 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
- 11 He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.
- 12 From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced— hailstones and coals of fire.
- 13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded— hailstones and coals of fire.
- 14 He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
- 15 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
- 16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
- 17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
- 18 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
- 19 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
- 20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
- 21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
- 22 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
- 23 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
- 24 So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
- 25 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
- 26 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
- 27 For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
- 28 For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
- 29 For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
- 30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
- 31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
- 32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
- 33 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
- 34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
- 35 You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
- 36 You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
- 37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
- 38 I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
- 39 You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
- 40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I destroyed those who hated me.
- 41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
- 42 I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
- 43 You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
- 44 When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.
- 45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
- 46 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
- 47 the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
- 48 who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
- 49 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
- 50 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
