Psalms 18

Gen Z: Psalms 18

1I'm all about that love for you, Lord, you're my strength, no cap.

2The Lord's my rock, my fortress, and my ride-or-die; my God, my strength, trust level 100; my shield and my high tower vibes.

3I'm calling on the Lord, 'cause He deserves all the praise; I’ll be saved from my haters, periodt.

4Death's got me feeling some type of way, and the floods of shady peeps got me shook.

5The struggles of the abyss were all around me; death’s traps had me on lock.

6In my tough times, I hit up the Lord and cried out to my God; He heard me from His crib, and my cry was like, "Yo, listen up!"

7Then the earth was like, "Whoa," and shook; even the hills were vibing hard 'cause He was mad.

8Smoke was blowing outta His nostrils, and fire from His mouth was like, "Bussin"; coals got lit from it.

9He pulled a flex, bowing the heavens and coming down; darkness was under His kicks.

10He hopped on a cherub and took off; for real, he was flying on the wind's wings.

11He made darkness his secret spot; his vibe zone was surrounded by dark waters and thick cloud cover.

12When he flexed his brightness, those thick clouds dipped, and hail stones plus fire coals were lit.

13The Lord was out here thundering in the heavens, and the Highest dropped his voice; hail stones and fire coals were savage.

14For real, he sent out his arrows and scattered the haters; he shot lightnings and made them bounce.

15Then the water channels popped up, and the world’s foundations were exposed at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of your breath.

16He came down from above, picked me up, and pulled me outta deep waters.

17He saved me from my strong enemy and those who were sus; they were way too strong for me.

18They tried to block me during my rough times, but the Lord was my support.

19He brought me into a big space; he saved me because he was vibin' with me.

20The Lord came through for me based on my righteousness; he hooked me up according to how clean my hands were.

21I’ve been keeping it real with the Lord, no cap, didn’t dip from my God like a savage.

22I had all His rules on lock, never tossed His statutes aside, periodt.

23I was straight-up righteous in His eyes, kept my vibe clean from sin.

24So the Lord’s been blessing me for my good choices, my hands are clean, fr.

25With the chill folks, You show mad mercy; with the real ones, You keep it real too.

26You stay pure with the pure; but with the shady, You keep it shady, no cap.

27You save the ones in need, but you’re gonna humble the prideful vibes.

28You light up my path, my God’s gonna shine through my darkness, lit.

29With You, I’m running through squads, and with my God, I’m jumping walls like a boss.

30God’s way is straight fire; His word is legit, He’s the shield for all who trust Him.

31Who even is God but the Lord? Like, who’s got more rizz than our God?

32It’s God who gives me strength, making my path all perfect and stuff.

33He’s got my feet feeling like a deer’s, putting me on those high vibes.

34He’s teaching my hands to fight, like I can break steel bows with my arms, no cap.

35You blessed me with the shield of your salvation; your right hand lifts me up, and your chill vibe makes me great.

36You’ve made my steps solid so I won’t slip, fr.

37I chased down my enemies and caught them; didn’t even turn back until they were done.

38I hit them so hard they couldn't get up; they’re totally down under my feet.

39You’ve given me strength for battle; you’ve taken down those who tried to come at me.

40You’ve handed me the necks of my enemies so I can wipe out those who hate me.

41They were crying for help, but no one was there to save them, not even the Lord, and He was totally silent.

42I wrecked them like dust in the wind, just tossed them out like trash on the streets.

43You saved me from all the drama with the people; now I’m the boss of the nations, and folks I don’t even know are gonna serve me.

44As soon as they catch wind of me, they’re gonna obey; the outsiders will totally submit to me.

45The outsiders are gonna fade away, scared out of their hiding spots.

46The Lord is alive; blessed be my rock; let the God who saves me be praised, fr.

47It’s God who’s got my back and keeps the people in check under me.

48He saves me from my enemies; you lift me higher than those who come at me; you’ve rescued me from the savage dude.

49So I’m gonna thank you, Lord, in front of the nations and sing your praises, periodt.

50He gives major deliverance to His king and shows mad mercy to His anointed, to David and his fam forever.

KJV: Psalms 18

1I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

2The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

3I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

6In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

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

8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

9He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

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

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

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

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

15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

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

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

18They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

25With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

26With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

28For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

31For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?

32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

34He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

37I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

40Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

41They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

46The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

48He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

49Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

50Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
