6 In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. AKJV — Psalm 18:6

7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. AKJV — Psalm 18:7

15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. AKJV — Psalm 18:15

16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. AKJV — Psalm 18:16

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. AKJV — Psalm 18:17

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. AKJV — Psalm 18:18

20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me. AKJV — Psalm 18:20

21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. AKJV — Psalm 18:21

32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect. AKJV — Psalm 18:32

33 He makes my feet like hinds’feet, and sets me on my high places. AKJV — Psalm 18:33

34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms. AKJV — Psalm 18:34

35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great. AKJV — Psalm 18:35

36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. AKJV — Psalm 18:36

37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. AKJV — Psalm 18:37
