Psalms 18:11-23
-
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.
