Psalms 18:5-6

5 athe cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
 6 bIn my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his ctemple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.

Psalms 18:8-17

8Smoke went up from his nostrils, ▼
▼Or in his wrath

and devouring efire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
 9He fbowed the heavens and gcame down;
hthick darkness was under his feet.
 10He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on ithe wings of the wind.
 11He made darkness his covering, his jcanopy around him,
thick clouds kdark with water.
 12Out of the brightness before him
lhailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
 13 The Lord also mthundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his nvoice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
 14And he sent out his oarrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and prouted them.
 15Then qthe channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rrebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of sthe breath of your nostrils.
 16 He tsent from on high, he took me;
he udrew me out of vmany waters.
 17He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were wtoo mighty for me.

Psalms 18:21-26

21For I have xkept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
 22For yall his rules ▼
▼Or just decrees
 were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
 23I was aablameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
 24So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
 25 With abthe merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
 26with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with acthe crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

Psalms 18:30

30This God—his way is adperfect; ▼
▼Or blameless

the word of the Lord afproves true;
he is aga shield for all those who ahtake refuge in him.

Psalms 18:42

42I beat them fine as aidust before the wind;
I cast them out like ajthe mire of the streets.

Psalms 18:44

44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me;
akforeigners alcame cringing to me.
