Psalms 18:10-24 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. He rode a creature with wings and flew.He flew on the wings of the wind.

11. He made darkness his covering, his shelter around him,surrounded by fog and clouds.

12. Out of the brightness of his presence came clouds.They came with hail and lightning.

13. The Lord thundered from heaven.God Most High raised his voice.And there was hail and lightning.

14. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies.His many bolts of lightning confused them with fear.

15. Lord, you spoke strongly.The wind blew from your nose.The valleys of the sea appeared.The foundations of the earth were seen.

16. The Lord reached down from above and took me.He pulled me from the deep water.

17. He saved me from my powerful enemies.Those who hated me were too strong for me.

18. They attacked me at my time of trouble.But the Lord supported me.

19. He took me to a safe place.Because he delights in me, he saved me.

20. The Lord spared me because I did what was right.Because I have not done evil, he has rewarded me.

21. I have followed the ways of the Lord.I have not done evil by turning away from my God.

22. I remember all his laws.I have not broken his rules.

23. I am innocent before him.I have kept myself from doing evil.

24. The Lord rewarded me because I did what was right.I did what the Lord said was right.
