Psalm 18
יח:א לַמְנַצֵּחַ, לְעֶבֶד יְהוָה--לְדָוִד:
יח:ב וַיֹּאמַר-- אֶרְחָמְךָ יְהוָה חִזְקִי.
יח:ג יְהוָה, סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי-- וּמְפַלְטִי:
יח:ד מְהֻלָּל, אֶקְרָא יְהוָה; וּמִן-אֹיְבַי, אִוָּשֵׁעַ.
יח:ה אֲפָפוּנִי חֶבְלֵי-מָוֶת; וְנַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתוּנִי.
יח:ו חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סְבָבוּנִי; קִדְּמוּנִי, מוֹקְשֵׁי מָוֶת.
יח:ז בַּצַּר-לִי, אֶקְרָא יְהוָה-- וְאֶל-אֱלֹהַי אֲשַׁוֵּעַ:
יח:ח וַתִּגְעַשׁ וַתִּרְעַשׁ, הָאָרֶץ-- וּמוֹסְדֵי הָרִים יִרְגָּזוּ; וַיִּתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּי-חָרָה לוֹ.
יח:ט עָלָה עָשָׁן, בְּאַפּוֹ-- וְאֵשׁ-מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל; גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ.
יח:י וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם, וַיֵּרַד; וַעֲרָפֶל, תַּחַת רַגְלָיו.
יח:יא וַיִּרְכַּב עַל-כְּרוּב, וַיָּעֹף; וַיֵּדֶא, עַל-כַּנְפֵי-רוּחַ.
יח:יב יָשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ, סִתְרוֹ-- סְבִיבוֹתָיו סֻכָּתוֹ; חֶשְׁכַת-מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִים.
יח:יג מִנֹּגַהּ, נֶגְדּוֹ: עָבָיו עָבְרוּ--בָּרָד, וְגַחֲלֵי-אֵשׁ.
יח:יד וַיַּרְעֵם בַּשָּׁמַיִם, יְהוָה--וְעֶלְיוֹן, יִתֵּן קֹלוֹ; בָּרָד, וְגַחֲלֵי-אֵשׁ.
יח:טו וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצָּיו, וַיְפִיצֵם; וּבְרָקִים רָב, וַיְהֻמֵּם.
יח:טז וַיֵּרָאוּ, אֲפִיקֵי מַיִם, וַיִּגָּלוּ, מוֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל:
יח:יז יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם, יִקָּחֵנִי; יַמְשֵׁנִי, מִמַּיִם רַבִּים.
יח:יח יַצִּילֵנִי, מֵאֹיְבִי עָז; וּמִשֹּׂנְאַי, כִּי-אָמְצוּ מִמֶּנִּי.
יח:יט יְקַדְּמוּנִי בְיוֹם-אֵידִי; וַיְהִי-יְהוָה לְמִשְׁעָן לִי.
יח:כ וַיּוֹצִיאֵנִי לַמֶּרְחָב; יְחַלְּצֵנִי, כִּי חָפֵץ בִּי.
יח:כא יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקִי; כְּבֹר יָדַי, יָשִׁיב לִי.
יח:כב כִּי-שָׁמַרְתִּי, דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה; וְלֹא-רָשַׁעְתִּי, מֵאֱלֹהָי.
יח:כג כִּי כָל-מִשְׁפָּטָיו לְנֶגְדִּי; וְחֻקֹּתָיו, לֹא-אָסִיר מֶנִּי.
יח:כד וָאֱהִי תָמִים עִמּוֹ; וָאֶשְׁתַּמֵּר, מֵעֲו‍ֹנִי.
יח:כה וַיָּשֶׁב-יְהוָה לִי כְצִדְקִי; כְּבֹר יָדַי, לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו.
יח:כו עִם-חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד; עִם-גְּבַר תָּמִים, תִּתַּמָּם.
יח:כז עִם-נָבָר תִּתְבָּרָר; וְעִם-עִקֵּשׁ, תִּתְפַּתָּל.
יח:כח כִּי-אַתָּה, עַם-עָנִי תוֹשִׁיעַ; וְעֵינַיִם רָמוֹת תַּשְׁפִּיל.
יח:כט כִּי-אַתָּה, תָּאִיר נֵרִי; יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי, יַגִּיהַּ חָשְׁכִּי.
יח:ל כִּי-בְךָ, אָרֻץ גְּדוּד; וּבֵאלֹהַי, אֲדַלֶּג-שׁוּר.
יח:לא הָאֵל, תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ:
יח:לב כִּי מִי אֱלוֹהַּ, מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהוָה; וּמִי צוּר, זוּלָתִי אֱלֹהֵינוּ.
יח:לג הָאֵל, הַמְאַזְּרֵנִי חָיִל; וַיִּתֵּן תָּמִים דַּרְכִּי.
יח:לד מְשַׁוֶּה רַגְלַי, כָּאַיָּלוֹת; וְעַל בָּמֹתַי, יַעֲמִידֵנִי.
יח:לה מְלַמֵּד יָדַי, לַמִּלְחָמָה; וְנִחֲתָה קֶשֶׁת-נְחוּשָׁה, זְרוֹעֹתָי.
יח:לו וַתִּתֶּן-לִי, מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ: וִימִינְךָ תִסְעָדֵנִי; וְעַנְוַתְךָ תַרְבֵּנִי.
יח:לז תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַחְתָּי; וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ, קַרְסֻלָּי.
יח:לח אֶרְדּוֹף אוֹיְבַי, וְאַשִּׂיגֵם; וְלֹא-אָשׁוּב, עַד-כַּלּוֹתָם.
יח:לט אֶמְחָצֵם, וְלֹא-יֻכְלוּ קוּם; יִפְּלוּ, תַּחַת רַגְלָי.
יח:מ וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי חַיִל, לַמִּלְחָמָה; תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתָּי.
יח:מא וְאֹיְבַי, נָתַתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף; וּמְשַׂנְאַי, אַצְמִיתֵם.
יח:מב יְשַׁוְּעוּ וְאֵין-מוֹשִׁיעַ; עַל-יְהוָה, וְלֹא עָנָם.
יח:מג וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם, כְּעָפָר עַל-פְּנֵי-רוּחַ; כְּטִיט חוּצוֹת אֲרִיקֵם.
יח:מד תְּפַלְּטֵנִי, מֵרִיבֵי-עָם: תְּשִׂימֵנִי, לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם; עַם לֹא-יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדוּנִי.
יח:מה לְשֵׁמַע אֹזֶן, יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִי; בְּנֵי-נֵכָר, יְכַחֲשׁוּ-לִי.
יח:מו בְּנֵי-נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ; וְיַחְרְגוּ, מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתֵיהֶם.
יח:מז חַי-יְהוָה, וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי; וְיָרוּם, אֱלוֹהֵי יִשְׁעִי.
יח:מח הָאֵל--הַנּוֹתֵן נְקָמוֹת לִי; וַיַּדְבֵּר עַמִּים תַּחְתָּי.
יח:מט מְפַלְּטִי, מֵאֹיְבָי: אַף מִן-קָמַי, תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי; מֵאִישׁ חָמָס, תַּצִּילֵנִי.
יח:נ עַל-כֵּן, אוֹדְךָ בַגּוֹיִם יְהוָה; וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּרָה.
יח:נא מַגְדִּל, יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ:
18:1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
18:2 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.
18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
18:6 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.
18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
18:14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
18:15 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.
18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18:18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
18:22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
18:23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
18:24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
18:25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
18:26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
18:27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
18:29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
18:30 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.
18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
18:33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
18:35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
18:37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
18:39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
18:40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
18:41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
18:42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
18:43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
18:45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
18:47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
18:48 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.
18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
18:50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

יט:ד אֵין-אֹמֶר, וְאֵין דְּבָרִים: בְּלִי, נִשְׁמָע קוֹלָם.
יט:ה בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ, יָצָא קַוָּם, וּבִקְצֵה תֵבֵל, מִלֵּיהֶם; לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שָׂם-אֹהֶל בָּהֶם.
יט:ו וְהוּא--כְּחָתָן, יֹצֵא מֵחֻפָּתוֹ; יָשִׂישׂ כְּגִבּוֹר, לָרוּץ אֹרַח.
יט:ז מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם, מוֹצָאוֹ--וּתְקוּפָתוֹ עַל-קְצוֹתָם; וְאֵין נִסְתָּר, מֵחַמָּתוֹ.
יט:ח תּוֹרַת יְהוָה תְּמִימָה, מְשִׁיבַת נָפֶשׁ; עֵדוּת יְהוָה נֶאֱמָנָה, מַחְכִּימַת פֶּתִי.
יט:ט פִּקּוּדֵי יְהוָה יְשָׁרִים, מְשַׂמְּחֵי-לֵב; מִצְוַת יְהוָה בָּרָה, מְאִירַת עֵינָיִם.
יט:י יִרְאַת יְהוָה, טְהוֹרָה--עוֹמֶדֶת לָעַד: מִשְׁפְּטֵי-יְהוָה אֱמֶת; צָדְקוּ יַחְדָּו.
יט:יא הַנֶּחֱמָדִים--מִזָּהָב, וּמִפַּז רָב; וּמְתוּקִים מִדְּבַשׁ, וְנֹפֶת צוּפִים.

יט:יד גַּם מִזֵּדִים, חֲשֹׂךְ עַבְדֶּךָ-- אַל-יִמְשְׁלוּ-בִי אָז אֵיתָם; וְנִקֵּיתִי מִפֶּשַׁע רָב.
יט:טו יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי-פִי, וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ: יְהוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִי.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
19:2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 20

כ:ב יַעַנְךָ יְהוָה, בְּיוֹם צָרָה; יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ, שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב.
כ:ג יִשְׁלַח-עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ; וּמִצִּיּוֹן, יִסְעָדֶךָּ.
כ:ד יִזְכֹּר כָּל-מִנְחֹתֶךָ; וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה סֶלָה.
כ:ה יִתֶּן-לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ; וְכָל-עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּא.
כ:ו נְרַנְּנָה, בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ-- וּבְשֵׁם-אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל;
כ:ז עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי-- כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ יְהוָה, מְשִׁיחוֹ: יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ-- בִּגְבֻרוֹת, יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ.
כ:ח אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב, וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים; וַאֲנַחְנוּ בְּשֵׁם-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּיר.
כ:ט הֵמָּה, כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ; וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַּמְנוּ, וַנִּתְעוֹדָד.
כ:י יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה: הַמֶּלֶךְ, יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם-קָרְאֵנוּ.
20:1 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
20:2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
20:3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burntsacrifice; Selah.
Selah
20:4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
20:8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
20:9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
