Psalms 18:11-26 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

11. He made darkness his secret place; his canopy round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, with hailstones and coals of fire.

13. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and vanquished them.

15. Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

16. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.

18. They confronted me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

19. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

21. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

23. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

24. Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25. With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;

26. With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.
