Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 18 (v1)
Thomas Sternhold
O God, my strength and fortitude,
Of force I must love Thee;
Thou art my castle and defence
In my necessity.
2 My God, my rock, in whom I trust,
The worker of my wealth;
My refuge, buckler, and my shield,
The horn of all my health.
3 In my distress I sought my God,
I sought Jehovah's face;
My cry before Him came; He heard
Out of His holy place.
4 The Lord descended from above,
And bow'd the heavens most high,
And underneath His feet He cast
The darkness of the sky.
5 On cherub and on cherubim
Full royally He rode,
And on the wings of mighty winds
Came flying abroad.
6 And so deliver'd He my soul:
Who is a rock but He?
He liveth -- Blessed be my Rock!
My God exalted be!
Thomas Sternhold, 1562.
