[To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me {when I was} in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. {chief...: or, overseer} {have...: or, be gracious unto me}
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time {that} their corn and their wine increased.
O ye sons of men, how long {will ye turn} my glory into shame? {how long} will ye love vanity, {and} seek after leasing? Selah.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
{There be} many that say, Who will shew us {any} good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. {vex: or, trouble}
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish {from} the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed {are} all they that put their trust in him.
Ask of me, and I shall give {thee} the heathen {for} thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth {for} thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon...: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, {saying},
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
Psalms 18
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
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. {my strength: Heb. my rock}

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.
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. {sorrows: or, cords}
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him {were} dark waters {and} thick clouds of the skies.
At the brightness {that was} before him his thick clouds passed, hail {stones} and coals of fire.
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail {stones} and coals of fire.
I will call upon the LORD, {who is worthy} to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness {was} under his feet.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by his, etc}
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
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.
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. {As soon...: Heb. At the hearing of the ear} {submit...: or, yield feigned obedience} {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
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. {violent...: Heb. man of violence}
He maketh my feet like hinds' {feet}, and setteth me upon my high places.
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}

{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. {tried: or, refined}
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. {many: or, great}
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; {All...: Heb. Flocks and oxen all of them}
