  Speaker 1: Psalm eighteen for the Chief Musician by David, the servant
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: He said, I love you, Yahweh, my strength. Yahweh is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: roc in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: horn of my salvation, my high tower. I call on Yahweh,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: from my enemies. The chords of death surrounded me. The
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: floods of ungodliness made me afraid. The chords of shiol
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: were round about me. The snares of death came on me.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: In my distress, I called on Yahweh and cried to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: my God. He heard my voice. Out of his temple.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: My cry before him came into his ears. Then the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: quaked and were shaken. Because he was angry, Smoke went
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: out of his nostrils, consuming fire came out of his mouth.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet. He
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: rode on a cherub and flew. Yes. He soared on
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the wings of the wind. He made darkness his hiding place,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the skies. At the brightness before him, his thick clouds
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: passed hailstones and coals of fire. Yahweh also thundered in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the sky. The most high uttered his voice, hailstones and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: coals of fire. He sent out his arrows and scattered them. Yes,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: great lightning bolts and routed them. Then the channels of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of your nostrils, he sent from on high, he took me.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they were too mighty for me. They came on me
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in the day of my calamity. But Yahweh was my support.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: He brought me forth also into a large place. He
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: delivered me because he delighted in me. Yahweh has rewarded
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: my hands, as he recomfenced me. For I have kept
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the ways of Yahweh, and I have not wickedly departed
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: from my God. For all his ordinances were before me.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't put away his statutes from me. I was
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity. Therefore,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the cleanness of my hands and his eye sight. With
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the merciful, you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you will show yourself perfect. With the pure, you will
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: show yourself pure. The crooked you will show yourself shrewd,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: for you will save the afflicted people. But the haughty
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: eyes you will bring down, for you will light my lamp. Yahweh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: my God, will light up my darkness. For by you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I advance through a troop. By my God I leap
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to all those who take refuge in him. For who
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is God except Yahweh, who is a rock besides our God,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the God who arms me with strength and makes my
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: way perfect. He makes my feet like hind's feet and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to war, so that my arms bend the bow of brons.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You have also given me the shield of your salvation.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: not slipped. I will pursue my enemies and overtake them.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Neither will I turn again until they are consumed. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: will strike them through so that they will not be
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: able to rise. They shall fall under my feet. For
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you have girded me with strength to the battle. You
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that I might cut off those who hate me. They cried,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: but there was none to save, even to Yahweh, but
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't answer them. Then I beat them small as
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the dust before the wind. I cast them out as
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the mire of the streets. You have delivered me from
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the strivings of the people. You have made me the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: head of the nations. A people whom I have not known,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: shall serve me. As soon as they hear of me,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: The foreigners shall fade away and shall come trembling out
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of their close places. Yahweh lives and blessed be my rock.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Exalted be the God of my salvation. Even the God
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: who executed vengeance for me and subdues peoples under me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: up above those who rise up against me. You deliver
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: me from the violent man. Therefore I will give thanks
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to you, Yahweh among the nations, and will sing praises
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to your name. He gives great deliverance to his king
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and shews loving kindness to his anointed, to David and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to his seed for evermore.
