PSALMS 18

A psalm written by God’s servant David. He sang it after Yahweh had rescued him from Saul and his other enemies.

1 Yahweh, I love you, the one who enables me to be strong.

2 Yahweh is like an overhanging rock [DOU, MET] under which I can hide from my enemies;

he is like a strong fortress, the one who protects me;

he protects me like a shield [MET] protects a soldier;

he is the one to whom I go ◄for refuge/to be protected/safe►,

and he defends me by his great power [IDM].
