New Testament

Psalms 18:1-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. I love you, Lord. You are my strength.

2. The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior.My God is my rock.I can run to him for safety.He is my shield and my saving strength, my high tower.

3. I will call to the Lord.He is worthy of praise.And I will be saved from my enemies.

4. The ropes of death bound me.The deadly rivers overwhelmed me.

5. The ropes of death wrapped around me.The traps of death were before me.

6. In my trouble I called to the Lord.I cried out to my God for help.From his temple he heard my voice.My call for help reached his ears.

7. The earth trembled and shook.The foundations of the mountains began to shake.They shook because the Lord was angry.

8. Smoke came out of his nose.Burning fire came out of his mouth.Burning coals went before him.

9. He tore open the sky and came down.Dark clouds were under his feet.

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.
