Psalmul 18
Pentru dirijor. Al lui David, robul Domnului. David I-a dedicat Domnului cuvintele acestui cântec în ziua în care l-a eliberat din mâna tuturor duşmanilor lui şi din mâna lui Saul. El a zis:
1 Te iubesc, Doamne, Tăria mea!
2 Domnul este stânca mea, fortăreaţa mea şi izbăvitorul meu!
Dumnezeul meu este stânca mea în Care mă adăpostesc,
scutul meu, cornul[a] mântuirii mele, întăritura mea!
3 Eu Îl chem în ajutor pe Domnul, Care este vrednic de laudă,
şi sunt izbăvit de duşmanii mei.
4 Mă înfăşuraseră legăturile morţii,
mă copleşiseră şuvoaiele nimicirii.
5 Legăturile Locuinţei Morţilor mă împresuraseră,
mă prinseseră laţurile morţii.
6 Dar în necazul meu L-am chemat pe Domnul,
am strigat către Dumnezeul meu.
El a ascultat glasul meu din Templul Său cel Sfânt
şi strigătul meu a ajuns înaintea Lui, până la urechile Sale.
7 Atunci s-a zguduit şi s-a cutremurat pământul,
temeliile munţilor s-au zdruncinat,
s-au clătinat, pentru că El se mâniase.
8 Ţâşnea fum din nările Lui
şi foc mistuitor din gura Lui,
cărbuni aprinşi ieşeau din ea.
9 A aplecat cerurile şi a coborât;
nori negri erau sub picioarele Lui.
10 Călărea pe un heruvim, zbura,
plutea pe aripile vântului.
11 Întunericul Şi-l aşternuse drept învelitoare, iar împrejurul Lui, drept acoperământ,
erau ape întunecoase şi nori deşi.
12 Din strălucirea care se oglindea înaintea Sa, prin norii Lui,
ieşea grindină şi cărbuni aprinşi.
13 Domnul a tunat din ceruri,
Cel Preaînalt Şi-a făcut auzit glasul,
răspândind grindină şi cărbuni aprinşi[b].
14 Şi-a aruncat săgeţile, risipindu-i pe duşmani;
a trimis fulgerele şi i-a pus pe fugă.
15 La mustrarea Ta, Doamne,
la suflarea nărilor Tale,
s-au văzut albiile apelor
şi s-au descoperit temeliile lumii.
16 El S-a întins din înălţime şi m-a apucat,
m-a scos din apele cele mari,
17 m-a izbăvit de duşmanul meu cel puternic
şi de vrăjmaşii mei, căci erau mai tari decât mine.
18 Ei m-au înfruntat în ziua necazului meu,
dar Domnul mi-a fost sprijin.
19 El m-a scos la loc larg,
m-a izbăvit, pentru că El Îşi găseşte plăcerea în mine.
20 Domnul mi-a răsplătit după dreptatea mea,
mi-a făcut după curăţia mâinilor mele,
21 căci am păzit căile Domnului
şi nu m-am făcut vinovat faţă de Dumnezeul meu.
22 Toate judecăţile Lui sunt înaintea mea
şi nu am îndepărtat hotărârile Lui de la mine.
23 Am fost integru înaintea Lui
şi m-am păzit de nelegiuire.
24 Domnul mi-a răsplătit după dreptatea mea,
după curăţia mâinilor mele înaintea ochilor Săi.
25 Cu cel credincios Tu Te arăţi credincios,
cu cel drept Tu Te arăţi drept,
26 cu cel integru Tu Te arăţi integru,
dar cu cel înşelător Tu Te porţi după înşelăciunea lui.
27 Tu mântuieşti poporul smerit,
dar smereşti pe cel cu ochii trufaşi.
28 Tu îmi aprinzi candela, Doamne!
Dumnezeul meu îmi luminează întunericul!
29 Cu Tine mă năpustesc asupra năvălitorilor!
Cu Dumnezeul meu sar peste zidul întărit!
30 Cât despre Dumnezeu, calea Lui este desăvârşită,
cuvintele[c] Domnului sunt încercate;
El este un scut pentru toţi cei ce se se adăpostesc în El.
31 Cine este Dumnezeu în afară de Domnul?
Cine este Stâncă în afară de Dumnezeul nostru?
32 Dumnezeu este Cel Ce m-a încins cu tărie
şi mi-a făcut desăvârşită calea.
33 El mi-a făcut picioarele ca ale ciutelor
şi m-a aşezat pe înălţimi.
34 Îmi deprinde mâinile pentru luptă,
astfel încât braţele mele întind arcul de aramă.
35 Tu îmi dai scutul mântuirii Tale,
dreapta Ta mă sprijină,
ajutorul[d] Tău mă face mare.
36 Tu-mi lărgeşti calea sub paşii mei,
ca să nu-mi alunece picioarele[e].
37 Îmi urmăresc duşmanii şi-i ajung;
nu mă întorc până nu-i prăpădesc.
38 Îi zdrobesc, de nu mai sunt în stare să se ridice;
ei cad sub picioarele mele.
39 Tu mă încingi cu tărie pentru luptă
şi-i smereşti pe vrăjmaşii mei sub picioarele mele.
40 Tu faci ca duşmanii mei să fugă dinaintea mea
şi eu îi nimicesc pe cei ce mă urăsc.
41 Ei strigă după ajutor, dar nimeni nu-i izbăveşte;
strigă către Domnul, dar El nu le răspunde.
42 Îi pisez făcându-i ca praful în bătaia vântului;
îi calc ca pe noroiul de pe uliţe.
43 Tu mă scapi de învinuirile poporului,
mă pui drept căpetenie a neamurilor;
un popor pe care nu-l cunosc îmi slujeşte.
44 Fiii străinului dau înapoi în faţa mea;
de îndată ce mă aud, mă ascultă.
45 Fiii străinului îngălbenesc
şi ies tremurând din fortăreţele lor.
46 Domnul este viu!
Binecuvântată să fie Stânca mea!
Mărit să fie Dumnezeul mântuirii mele!
47 Dumnezeu este Cel Ce mă răzbună,
Cel Care îmi supune popoare,
48 Cel Ce mă izbăveşte de vrăjmaşii mei.
Tu mă ridici deasupra duşmanilor mei
şi mă scapi de omul asupritor.
49 De aceea Te voi lăuda printre neamuri, Doamne,
şi voi cânta laudă Numelui Tău!
50 El dă mari izbăviri regelui Său
şi arată îndurare unsului Său,
lui David şi seminţei[f] lui în veac.

Psalm 18
King James Version
Psalm 18
King James Version
18 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
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.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Psalm 18[a](A)
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1 I love you, Lord, my strength.(B)
2 The Lord is my rock,(C) my fortress(D) and my deliverer;(E)
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,(F)
my shield[b](G) and the horn[c] of my salvation,(H) my stronghold.
3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,(I)
and I have been saved from my enemies.(J)
4 The cords of death(K) entangled me;
the torrents(L) of destruction overwhelmed me.
5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death(M) confronted me.
6 In my distress(N) I called to the Lord;(O)
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;(P)
my cry came(Q) before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled(R) and quaked,(S)
and the foundations of the mountains shook;(T)
they trembled because he was angry.(U)
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;(V)
consuming fire(W) came from his mouth,
burning coals(X) blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down;(Y)
dark clouds(Z) were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim(AA) and flew;
he soared(AB) on the wings of the wind.(AC)
11 He made darkness his covering,(AD) his canopy(AE) around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence(AF) clouds advanced,
with hailstones(AG) and bolts of lightning.(AH)
13 The Lord thundered(AI) from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.[d]
14 He shot his arrows(AJ) and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning(AK) he routed them.(AL)
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations(AM) of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke,(AN) Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.(AO)
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.(AP)
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,(AQ)
from my foes, who were too strong for me.(AR)
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,(AS)
but the Lord was my support.(AT)
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;(AU)
he rescued me because he delighted in me.(AV)
20 The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;(AW)
according to the cleanness of my hands(AX) he has rewarded me.(AY)
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;(AZ)
I am not guilty of turning(BA) from my God.
22 All his laws are before me;(BB)
I have not turned away from his decrees.
23 I have been blameless(BC) before him
and have kept myself from sin.
24 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,(BD)
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 To the faithful(BE) you show yourself faithful,(BF)
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure(BG) you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(BH)
27 You save the humble(BI)
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.(BJ)
28 You, Lord, keep my lamp(BK) burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.(BL)
29 With your help(BM) I can advance against a troop[e];
with my God I can scale a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:(BN)
The Lord’s word is flawless;(BO)
he shields(BP) all who take refuge(BQ) in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord?(BR)
And who is the Rock(BS) except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength(BT)
and keeps my way secure.(BU)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(BV)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(BW)
34 He trains my hands for battle;(BX)
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains(BY) me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(BZ) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.(CA)
37 I pursued my enemies(CB) and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them(CC) so that they could not rise;(CD)
they fell beneath my feet.(CE)
39 You armed me with strength(CF) for battle;
you humbled my adversaries(CG) before me.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs(CH) in flight,
and I destroyed(CI) my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them(CJ)—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(CK)
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;(CL)
I trampled them[f] like mud in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.(CM)
People I did not know(CN) now serve me,
44 foreigners(CO) cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;(CP)
they come trembling(CQ) from their strongholds.(CR)
46 The Lord lives!(CS) Praise be to my Rock!(CT)
Exalted be God(CU) my Savior!(CV)
47 He is the God who avenges(CW) me,
who subdues nations(CX) under me,
48 who saves(CY) me from my enemies.(CZ)
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man(DA) you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;(DB)
I will sing(DC) the praises of your name.(DD)

The Lord Is My Rock and My Fortress
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, (A)the servant of the Lord, (B)who addressed the words of this (C)song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:
18 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my (D)rock and my (E)fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my (F)rock, in (G)whom I take refuge,
my (H)shield, and (I)the horn of my salvation, my (J)stronghold.
3 I call upon the Lord, who is (K)worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
4 (L)The cords of death encompassed me;
(M)the torrents of destruction assailed me;[a]
5 (N)the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6 (O)In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his (P)temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
7 Then the earth (Q)reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
8 Smoke went up from his nostrils,[b]
and devouring (R)fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9 He (S)bowed the heavens and (T)came down;
(U)thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on (V)the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his (W)canopy around him,
thick clouds (X)dark with water.
12 Out of the brightness before him
(Y)hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
13 The Lord also (Z)thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his (AA)voice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
14 And he sent out his (AB)arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and (AC)routed them.
15 Then (AD)the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your (AE)rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of (AF)the breath of your nostrils.
16 He (AG)sent from on high, he took me;
he (AH)drew me out of (AI)many waters.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were (AJ)too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into (AK)a broad place;
he rescued me, because he (AL)delighted in me.
20 The Lord dealt with me (AM)according to my righteousness;
according to (AN)the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
21 For I have (AO)kept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For (AP)all his rules[c] were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
23 I was (AQ)blameless before him,
and I kept myself from my guilt.
24 So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 With (AR)the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
26 with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with (AS)the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27 For you save (AT)a humble people,
but (AU)the haughty eyes you bring down.
28 For it is you who light my (AV)lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
29 For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can (AW)leap over (AX)a wall.
30 This God—his way is (AY)perfect;[d]
the word of the Lord (AZ)proves true;
he is (BA)a shield for all those who (BB)take refuge in him.
31 For (BC)who is God, but the Lord?
And who is (BD)a rock, except our God?—
32 the God who (BE)equipped me with strength
and made my way (BF)blameless.
33 He made my feet like the feet of a (BG)deer
and set me secure on (BH)the heights.
34 He (BI)trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand (BJ)supported me,
and your (BK)gentleness made me great.
36 You (BL)gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
and did not turn back till they were consumed.
38 I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
they fell under my feet.
39 For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made those who rise against me sink under me.
40 You made my enemies (BM)turn their backs to me,[e]
and those who hated me I destroyed.
41 (BN)They cried for help, but there was none to save;
they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42 I beat them fine as (BO)dust before the wind;
I cast them out like (BP)the mire of the streets.
43 You delivered me from (BQ)strife with the people;
you made me (BR)the head of the nations;
(BS)people whom I had not known served me.
44 As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me;
(BT)foreigners (BU)came cringing to me.
45 (BV)Foreigners lost heart
and (BW)came trembling out of their fortresses.
46 The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of my salvation—
47 the God who gave me vengeance
and (BX)subdued peoples under me,
48 who rescued me from my enemies;
yes, you (BY)exalted me above those who rose against me;
you delivered me from (BZ)the man of violence.
49 (CA)For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and (CB)sing to your name.
50 Great (CC)salvation he brings to his king,
and shows steadfast love to his (CD)anointed,
to (CE)David and his offspring forever.
