New Living Translation

Psalms 18:10-25 New Living Translation (NLT)

10. Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew,soaring on the wings of the wind.

11. He shrouded himself in darkness,veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.

12. Thick clouds shielded the brightness around himand rained down hail and burning coals.

13. The lord thundered from heaven;the voice of the Most High resoundedamid the hail and burning coals.

14. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

15. Then at your command, O  lord,at the blast of your breath,the bottom of the sea could be seen,and the foundations of the earth were laid bare.

16. He reached down from heaven and rescued me;he drew me out of deep waters.

17. He rescued me from my powerful enemies,from those who hated me and were too strong for me.

18. They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress,but the lord supported me.

19. He led me to a place of safety;he rescued me because he delights in me.

20. The lord rewarded me for doing right;he restored me because of my innocence.

21. For I have kept the ways of the lord;I have not turned from my God to follow evil.

22. I have followed all his regulations;I have never abandoned his decrees.

23. I am blameless before God;I have kept myself from sin.

24. The lord rewarded me for doing right.He has seen my innocence.

25. To the faithful you show yourself faithful;to those with integrity you show integrity.
