Psalm 18 consists of 50 verses,
verses 6-19 are given below:
In 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. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then 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. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.-Psalm 18:6-19***David was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. David is recognized as the divinely inspired writer of Psalm 18. In the Promised Land, before David reigned as king only over the tribe of Judah, and reigned over all of the Israelites, David had enemies. Saul was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Saul was the 1st king to reign over the Israelites in the Promised Land, and Saul wanted David dead. Doeg the Edomite, and the people of Ziph, disclosed David's whereabouts to Saul. The people of Keilah were ready to hand David over to Saul. Wealthy Nabal refused to provide any goods for David and David's men. David fought the Philistines numerous times. David attacked the places wherein the Amalekites, Geshurites, and Girzites (Gezrites) lived. Moreover, David fought the Amalekites after the Amalekites captured the wives and children of David and his men. After 37 1/2-year-old David began to reign over all of the Israelites, David conquered the fortress of the Jebusites, and it became the City of David. David victoriously battled the Moabites, and the Ammonites and Syrians (Arameans), and the Edomites. Absalom, the son born to David and Maacah, had himself king while David reigned. When David was approximately 70 years old and bedridden, Adonijah, the son born to David and Haggith, plotted to have himself proclaimed king. Several of David's advisers turned against David to follow Absalom or Adonijah. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
