You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children. 017:015 As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. 018:001 <<For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said,>> I love you, Yahweh, my strength. 018:002 Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. 018:003 I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies. 018:004 The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 018:005 The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me. 018:006 In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears. 018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry. 018:008 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it. 018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet. 018:010 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind. 018:011 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 018:012 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire. 018:013 Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire. 018:014 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them. 018:015 Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils. 018:016 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters. 018:017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me. 018:018 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support. 018:019 He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me. 018:020 Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me. 018:021 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 018:022 For all his ordinances were before me. I didn't put away his statutes from me. 018:023 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
