I Will Love Thee, O Lord (Psalm 18)

I Will love thee, O Lord, my strength; the Lord is my stony rock, and my defence : my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge
2 I will call upon the Lord, which is worthy to be praised : so shall I be safe from mine enemies
3 The sorrows of death compassed me : and the overflowings of ungodliness made me afraid
4 The pains of hell came about me : the snares of death overtook me
5 In my trouble I will call upon the Lord : and complain unto my God
6 So shall he hear my voice out of his holy temple: and my complaint shall come before him, it shall enter even into his ears
7 The earth trembled and quaked : the very foundations also of the hills shook, and were removed, because he was wroth
8 There went a smoke out in his presence : and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that coals were kindled at it
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down : and it was dark under his feet
10 He rode upon the cherubins, and did fly : he came flying upon the wings of the wind
11 He made darkness his secret place : his pavilion round about him, with dark water and thick clouds to cover him
12 At the brightness of his presence his clouds removed : hail-stones, and coals of fire
13 The Lord also thundered out of heaven, and the Highest gave his thunder : hail-stones, and coals of fire
14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them : he cast forth lightnings, and destroyed them
15 The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered, at thy chiding, O Lord : at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasure
16 He shall send down from on high to fetch me : and shall take me out of many waters
17 He shall deliver me from my strongest enemy, and from them which hate me : for they are too mighty for me
18 They prevented me in the day of my trouble : but the Lord was my upholder
19 He brought me forth also into a place of liberty : he brought me forth, even because he had a favour unto me
