Salmos 18 - Bíblia Online

Com fervor te amo, Jeová, força minha. 
Jeová é a minha rocha, a minha fortaleza e o meu libertador; O meu Deus, o meu rochedo em que me refugio; O meu escudo, o meu Salvador poderoso, meu alto refúgio. 
Invocando a Jeová que é digno de ser louvado, Dos meus inimigos sou salvo. 
Rodearam-me cordas de morte, E torrentes de perdição me amedrontaram. 
Cercaram-me cordas do Cheol, Laços de morte me sobrevieram. 
Na minha angústia invoquei a Jeová, E clamei por socorro ao meu Deus; Ele ouviu do seu templo a minha voz, E o clamor que lhe fiz entrou nos seus ouvidos. 
Abalou-se então a terra e tremeu, Também os fundamentos dos montes se moveram E se abalaram, porque se acendeu a sua ira. 
Subiu fumaça dos seus narizes, E fogo devorador saiu da sua boca: Dele saíram brasas ardentes. 
Ele abaixou os céus e desceu, Tendo debaixo dos seus pés densa escuridão. 
Montou num querubim e voou; Sim voou velozmente sobre as asas do vento. 
Fez das trevas o seu retiro secreto, seu pavilhão ao redor de si: Escuridade de águas, espessas nuvens dos céus. 
Do resplendor que diante dele havia, saíam pelas suas espessas nuvens Saraiva e carvão de fogo. 
Então Jeová trovejou nos céus, E o Altíssimo fez soar a sua voz: Saraiva e carvões de fogo. 
Enviou as suas setas e os dispersou; Amiudados raios, e os conturbou. 
Então apareceu o leito das águas, E foram descobertos os fundamentos do mundo, Pela tua repreensão, Jeová, Pelo sopro dos ventos dos teus narizes. 
Ele estendeu lá do alto o braço, me tomou E me tirou das muitas águas. 
Livrou-me do meu inimigo forte, E dos que me odiaram, porque foram mais poderosos que eu. 
Eles me acometeram no dia da minha calamidade; Mas Jeová tornou-se o meu amparo. 
Ele me tirou para um lugar espaçoso; Livrou-me, porque tinha prazer em mim. 
Recompensou-me Jeová segundo a minha retidão, Retribuiu-me segundo a pureza das minhas mãos. 
Pois tenho guardado o caminho de Jeová, E não me tenho apartado impiamente do meu Deus. 
Porque todos os seus juízos estão diante de mim, E não afasto de mim os seus estatutos. 
Fui perfeito para com ele, E me guardei da iniqüidade. 
Por isso Jeová me retribuiu segundo a minha retidão, Segundo a pureza das minhas mãos, aos seus olhos. 
Com o benigno te mostrarás benigno; Com o homem perfeito te mostrarás perfeito; 
Com o puro te mostrarás puro; Com o perverso te mostrarás contrário. 
Porque tu salvarás ao povo humilde, Mas os olhos altivos tu os abaterás. 
Pois tu acendes a minha lâmpada; Jeová, meu Deus, é quem alumia as minhas trevas. 
Pois com o teu auxílio dou numa tropa, Com o auxílio do meu Deus salto uma muralha. 
Quanto a Deus, perfeito é o seu caminho; A palavra de Jeová é provada; Ele é escudo para todos os que nele se refugiam. 
Pois quem é Deus a não ser Jeová? E quem é rocha, senão o nosso Deus? 
O Deus que me veste de força, E torna perfeito o meu caminho. 
Ele faz os meus pés como os das corças, E me coloca em pé em meus lugares altos. 
Ele adestra as minhas mãos para a peleja, A ponto de vergarem os meus braços um arco de bronze. 
Deste-me também os escudos da minha salvação; A tua direita me susteve, E a tua condescendência me engrandeceu. 
Alargaste os meus passos diante de mim, E não resvalaram os meus pés. 
Persegui os meus inimigos e os alcancei; Não voltei até haver acabado com eles. 
Dei neles até que não puderam levantar-se; Caíram debaixo dos meus pés. 
Pois me cingiste de força para a peleja; Submeteste-me os que se levantaram contra mim. 
Também fizeste que os meus inimigos me dessem as costas. E quanto aos que me odeiam, eu os exterminei. 
Gritaram por socorro, porém não houve quem os salvasse; Gritaram a Jeová, mas ele não lhes respondeu. 
Então os esmiucei como o pó diante do vento, Lancei-os fora como a lama das ruas. 
Livraste-me das contendas do povo, Fizeste-me cabeça das nações: Um povo, que não conheci, me serviu. 
Mal ouviram, logo me prestaram obediência; Os estrangeiros a mim se submeteram. 
Os estrangeiros sumiram-se, E saíram tremendo das suas fortificações. 
Vive Jeová, e bendita seja a minha rocha; E exaltado seja o Deus da minha salvação, 
O Deus, que por mim tomou vingança E sujeitou povos debaixo de mim. 
Ele me livrou dos meus inimigos. Tu me elevaste acima dos que se levantaram contra mim; Livraste-me do homem violento. 
Portanto, Jeová, eu te darei graças entre as nações, E cantarei louvores ao teu nome. 
Pois Jeová dá grande livramento ao seu rei, E usa de benignidade para com o seu ungido, Para com Davi e sua semente para sempre. 

To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord, of David, who said the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord made him free from the hand of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul; and he said, 
\18:1\I will give you my love, O Lord, my strength. 
\18:2\The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 
\18:3\I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me. 
\18:4\The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear. 
\18:5\The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me. 
\18:6\In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came before him, even into his ears. 
\18:7\Then trouble and shock came on the earth; and the bases of the mountains were moved and shaking, because he was angry. 
\18:8\There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: flames were lighted by it. 
\18:9\The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet. 
\18:10\And he went in flight through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind. 
\18:11\He made the dark his secret place; his tent round him was the dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 
\18:12\Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and fire. 
\18:13\The Lord made thunder in the heavens, and the voice of the Highest was sounding out: a rain of ice and fire. 
\18:14\He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled. 
\18:15\Then the deep beds of the waters were seen, and the bases of the world were uncovered, because of your words of wrath, O Lord, because of the breath from your mouth. 
\18:16\He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters. 
\18:17\He made me free from my strong hater, and from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I. 
\18:18\They came on me in the day of my trouble; but the Lord was my support. 
\18:19\He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me. 
\18:20\The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him. 
\18:21\For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God. 
\18:22\For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me. 
\18:23\And I was upright before him, and I kept myself from sin. 
\18:24\Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes. 
\18:25\On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright; 
\18:26\He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge. 
\18:27\For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but eyes full of pride will be made low. 
\18:28\You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me. 
\18:29\By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in; by the help of my God I have gone over a wall. 
\18:30\As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him. 
\18:31\For who is God but the Lord? or who is a Rock but our God? 
\18:32\God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way. 
\18:33\He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places. 
\18:34\He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms. 
\18:35\You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great. 
\18:36\You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping. 
\18:37\I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome. 
\18:38\I will give them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet. 
\18:39\For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who come out against me. 
\18:40\By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off. 
\18:41\They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer. 
\18:42\Then they were crushed as small as dust before the wind; they were drained out like the waste of the streets. 
\18:43\You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants. 
\18:44\From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority. 
\18:45\They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear. 
\18:46\The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured. 
\18:47\It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule. 
\18:48\He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man. 
\18:49\Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name. 
\18:50\Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.
