RF PSA 18:1 To his Bandmaster.
By David the Servant of the EVER-LIVING. Who addressed the words of this song to the EVER-LIVING, at the time when the EVER-LIVING had rescued him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, so he said:—
STANZA 1. I love You, LORD, my Strength
RF PSA 18:2 The LORD, my Rock, and Fort,
My GOD, my safe Retreat;
I trust in Him, my Shield,
My Saviour, Horn, and Tower!
RF PSA 18:3 When weak I cried to GOD,
Who saved me from my foes,
RF PSA 18:4 When ropes of Death had caught,
And raging floods overwhelmed
RF PSA 18:5 The Grave a noose had twined,
And Death's trap was before.
RF PSA 18:6 STANZA 2. In grief I called the LORD,
And shouted to my GOD,
Who from His palace heard my voice,—
My shout came to His ears!
RF PSA 18:7 The earth then quaked and shook,
The mountain's roots were rent,
They trembled and they rocked,
Because He was enraged.
RF PSA 18:8 STANZA 3.
Thick smoke rose at His wrath.
Devouring fire advanced,
And from it blazing coals.
RF PSA 18:9 He bowed the Heavens and came,
With gloom beneath His feet;
RF PSA 18:10 On whirlwinds rode, and flew,
Borne on the wings of wind.
RF PSA 18:11 He made the darkness hide,
Surround Him as His tent,
The skies were cloudy seas,
RF PSA 18:12 Whose clouds poured lightnings out,
With hail and blazing fire!
RF PSA 18:13 STANZA 4.
The LORD from Heaven thundered,—
The Highest gave His voice,
Hailstones and flashing fire!
RF PSA 18:14 His arrows sent and shot,
And many lightnings drove,
RF PSA 18:15 And fearful mighty streams;—
The world's supports were bared!
At your rebuke, O! LORD,
At your fierce breathing wrath!
RF PSA 18:16 STANZA 5.
He sent from high and took,
He snatched from mighty seas,
RF PSA 18:17 He rescued from strong foes,—
More powerful foes than I.
RF PSA 18:18 He led me in my day of need,
And was my guardian power.
RF PSA 18:19 To freedom brought me out,—
Released because He loved
RF PSA 18:20 The LORD paid me my due,
My work returned to me;—
RF PSA 18:21 For I had kept the living paths,
And not deserted GOD.
RF PSA 18:22 For all His rules I kept,
I turned not from His laws;
RF PSA 18:23 And I was straight with Him
And kept myself from vice.
RF PSA 18:24 The LORD returned my due,
My work was in His sight.
RF PSA 18:25 STANZA 6.
You are kind to the kind,
With straight men You are straight,
RF PSA 18:26 With ruffians You are rough,
And to the false resist;
RF PSA 18:27 For You would save the poor,
And throw down haughty eyes.
RF PSA 18:28 You are my shining light,
My LIVING GOD, who drives my gloom.
RF PSA 18:29 STANZA 7.
By You I stormed the breach,
And from GOD scaled the wall;
RF PSA 18:30 By GOD whose paths are straight,
The LORD whose words are true,
To all who trust, a shield;—
RF PSA 18:31 For what is GOD but LIFE?
What strong; except my GOD?
RF PSA 18:32 The GOD who girds my strength,
And makes my pathways smooth?
RF PSA 18:33 Makes my legs like a stag's,
And helped me on the hills;
RF PSA 18:34 Who taught my hands to fight,
My arms to break steel bows.
RF PSA 18:35 Gave victory to my shield,
And Your right hand has helped,
And Your gift has increased.
RF PSA 18:36 STANZA 8.
You stretched my strides beneath,
They never failed or shook.
RF PSA 18:37 I chased my foes, and caught,
Nor turned till I destroyed.
RF PSA 18:38 I crushed, they could not rise,
They fell beneath my feet.
RF PSA 18:39 You girthed my waist for war,
Held up my knees beneath.
RF PSA 18:40 You gave to me my foes, My haters, chased, and crushed,
RF PSA 18:41 They shrieked, but no one saved,
Called LIFE but none replied.
RF PSA 18:42 I shook like dust to wind,
I trod like dirt in streets!
RF PSA 18:43 STANZA 9. You freed from men opposed,
You made me chief of Tribes,
And hands I knew not served;
RF PSA 18:44 Unhearing ears now hear,—
The Sons of strangers praise,
RF PSA 18:45 The Sons of strangers yield,
And creep from hiding dens!
RF PSA 18:46 STANZA 10. Live LORD, You are my Rock,
Exalt my GOD who saved!
RF PSA 18:47 The GOD who gave success;
And them beneath me placed.—
RF PSA 18:48 Yes! who released from foes,
Though higher placed than!—
Who freed from treacherous men!
RF PSA 18:49 STANZA 11.
I sing the LORD to Nations,
And chant Psalms to His name;—
RF PSA 18:50 The King's victorious Tower,
Who shows His sanctioned kindness,—
With David's Heir for aye!
