Psalm 18
The song of deliverance
Verse 18:1 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:1] For the director. Of YHWH’s servant David, who spoke the words of this song to YHWH on the day YHWH delivered him from the grasp of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:1] For the end. Of the Lord’s servant David, who spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both superscriptions identify David, divine service, the song, and rescue from all enemies and Saul. The complete attribution remains a source verse.
Verse 18:2 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:2] He said:
I love You, YHWH, my strength.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:2] And he said:
I will love You, Lord, my strength.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both open the song with personal love for the One who strengthens; Greek explicitly uses the future. Saints: Augustine’s Exposition on Psalm 18 §2 in the accessed presentation reads the voice as Christ together with the Church, head and members. This is a later corporate christological interpretation. [AUG-PS18]
Verse 18:3 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:3] YHWH is my crag, my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:3] The Lord is my firm foundation, my refuge, and my rescuer;
my God is my helper, and I will hope in Him;
my protector, the horn of my salvation, my supporter.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Both accumulate protective images, including the salvation horn. Hebrew crag, fortress, rock, shield, and stronghold differ from Greek foundation, refuge, helper, protector, and supporter.
Verse 18:4 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:4] I call upon YHWH, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:4] Praising, I will call upon the Lord,
and I will be saved from my enemies.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Hebrew describes the invoked God as praised; Greek makes praising the speaker’s action. Rescue from enemies agrees.
Verse 18:5 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:5] The cords of death surrounded me;
torrents of destruction terrified me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:5] The birth pangs of death encompassed me,
and torrents of lawlessness threw me into turmoil.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew cords differ from Greek birth pangs; destructive or worthless forces, beliyya‘al, differ from explicit lawlessness. Neither is silently personified as a named demon.
Verse 18:6 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:6] The cords of Sheol encircled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:6] The birth pangs of Hades surrounded me;
the traps of death overtook me.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The cord versus birth-pang imagery continues. Both also retain death’s traps and their respective name for the realm of the dead.
Verse 18:7 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:7] In my distress I called upon YHWH
and cried for help to my God.
He heard my voice from His temple;
my cry before Him came into His ears.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:7] And when I was afflicted, I called upon the Lord
and cried out to my God.
He heard my voice from His holy temple,
and my cry before Him will enter His ears.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Greek expressly calls the temple holy and ends with a future entering of the cry. Hebrew’s poetic imperfects are rendered as the narrated rescue sequence; both retain voice and divine hearing.
Verse 18:8 Divergent
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:8] Then the earth shook and quaked;
the foundations of the mountains trembled
and shook because He was angry.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:8] And the earth was shaken and became trembling;
the foundations of the mountains were troubled
and shaken because God was angry with them.
Classification & Notes
Divergent. Text: Greek explicitly names God and adds with them as the object of anger. The earthquake and trembling mountain foundations agree.
Verse 18:9 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:9] Smoke rose from His nostrils,
and fire from His mouth devoured;
coals blazed from Him.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:9] Smoke rose in His anger,
and fire from His face set things ablaze;
coals were kindled from Him.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew depicts nostrils and mouth; Greek gives anger and face. Both retain smoke, consuming fire, and burning coals.
Verse 18:10 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:10] He bent the heavens and came down,
with thick darkness beneath His feet.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:10] And He bent heaven and came down,
and gloom was beneath His feet.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both describe divine descent through lowered heaven with darkness beneath the feet.
Verse 18:11 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:11] He rode upon a cherub and flew;
He soared on the wings of the wind.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:11] And He mounted cherubim and flew;
He flew on the wings of winds.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both portray winged divine movement; Hebrew varies flying and soaring while Greek repeats flew and has plural winds. Greek cheroubin is an indeclinable loan form; its ending alone is not used to assert a precise number of beings.
Verse 18:12 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:12] He made darkness His hiding place,
His shelter around Him:
dark waters, dense clouds of the skies.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:12] And He made darkness His hiding place;
His tent was around Him,
dark water in clouds of the air.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: The enclosing darkness, water, clouds, and shelter agree; Greek explicitly places dark water in the clouds.
Verse 18:13 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:13] From the brightness before Him, His clouds passed—
hail and coals of fire.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:13] From the far-shining radiance before Him, the clouds passed—
hail and coals of fire.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both link passing clouds, brightness, hail, and fiery coals; Greek emphasizes the radiance shining afar.
Verse 18:14 Divergent
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:14] YHWH thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High gave His voice—
hail and coals of fire.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:14] And the Lord thundered from heaven,
and the Most High gave His voice.
Classification & Notes
Divergent. Text: Hebrew repeats hail and coals of fire here; the Greek verse ends with the Most High’s voice.
Verse 18:15 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:15] He sent His arrows and scattered them;
He multiplied lightning flashes and threw them into confusion.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:15] And He sent out arrows and scattered them;
He multiplied lightning flashes and threw them into turmoil.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: The divine arrows, multiplied lightning, and scattering of the opponents correspond.
Verse 18:16 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:16] The channels of waters appeared,
and the foundations of the world were uncovered
at Your rebuke, YHWH,
at the blast of breath from Your nostrils.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:16] And the springs of the waters appeared,
and the foundations of the inhabited world were uncovered
at Your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of the spirit of Your anger.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew water channels differ from Greek springs. Hebrew’s breath-and-nostrils image corresponds to Greek spirit or wind of anger; the common rebuke uncovers the world’s foundations.
Verse 18:17 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:17] He sent from on high and took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:17] He sent from on high and took me;
He took me to Himself out of many waters.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both describe divine rescue from overwhelming waters; Greek’s second verb emphasizes taking the speaker to Himself.
Verse 18:18 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:18] He delivered me from my strong enemy,
from those who hated me, for they were stronger than I.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:18] He will rescue me from my powerful enemies
and from those who hate me, for they grew stronger than I.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew begins with a singular enemy in the narrated rescue; Greek has plural enemies and expressly anticipates rescue.
Verse 18:19 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:19] They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but YHWH became my support.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:19] They overtook me in the day of my affliction,
and the Lord became my support,
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both oppose the enemies’ assault in distress to the Lord’s sustaining help.
Verse 18:20 Divergent
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:20] He brought me out into a broad place;
He rescued me because He delighted in me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:20] and He brought me out into a spacious place.
He will rescue me because He desired me.
He will rescue me from my powerful enemies
and from those who hate me.
Classification & Notes
Divergent. Text: Greek repeats a rescue assurance and the enemy description from verse eighteen, adding two full lines relative to this Hebrew verse. They are retained where the publisher prints them.
Verse 18:21 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:21] YHWH repaid me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands He rewarded me,
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:21] And the Lord will repay me according to my righteousness,
and according to the purity of my hands He will repay me,
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: The standard of recompense agrees; Hebrew is read within the rescue narrative, while Greek twice expressly anticipates repayment.
Verse 18:22 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:22] for I kept the ways of YHWH
and did not wickedly turn away from my God.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:22] because I kept the Lord’s ways
and did not act impiously by turning from my God,
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both assert fidelity to God’s ways and deny impious departure.
Verse 18:23 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:23] For all His judgments were before me,
and I did not put His statutes away from me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:23] because all His judgments are before me,
and I did not put His ordinances away from me.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both describe keeping the divine judgments present and refusing to discard the ordinances.
Verse 18:24 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:24] I was blameless with Him
and guarded myself from my iniquity.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:24] And I will be blameless with Him
and guard myself from my lawlessness.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew asserts past integrity and guarding; Greek expressly promises future conduct. Both retain the personal my rather than denying all possible wrongdoing by abstraction.
Verse 18:25 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:25] YHWH repaid me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:25] And the Lord will repay me according to my righteousness
and according to the purity of my hands before His eyes.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew recounts recompense already given; Greek promises it in the future. The criterion and divine sight agree.
Verse 18:26 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:26] With the faithful You show Yourself faithful;
with a blameless man You show Yourself blameless.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:26] With a holy one You will show Yourself holy,
and with an innocent man You will be innocent,
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both describe corresponding divine dealings with the faithful or holy and the blameless or innocent.
Verse 18:27 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:27] With the pure You show Yourself pure,
and with the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:27] and with a chosen one You will be chosen,
and with a twisted one You will twist.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew purity differs from Greek chosenness. Both then use a twisting wordplay for dealings with the crooked; Hebrew’s reflexive is rendered shrewd rather than an accusation of divine wrongdoing.
Verse 18:28 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:28] For You save an afflicted people,
but You bring down haughty eyes.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:28] For You will save a lowly people
and humble the eyes of the arrogant.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both promise rescue for the lowly and humiliation of proud eyes.
Verse 18:29 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:29] For You light my lamp;
YHWH my God makes my darkness bright.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:29] For You will light my lamp, Lord;
my God, You will light my darkness.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: The lamp and dispelled darkness agree. Hebrew names YHWH in the second clause; Greek places Lord in the first and maintains direct address throughout.
Verse 18:30 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:30] For by You I run against a troop,
and by my God I leap over a wall.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:30] For by You I will be rescued from a raiding band,
and by my God I will cross over a wall.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew gives the speaker an active charge against a troop; Greek gives passive rescue from a raiding band, peiratērion, a military expression whose precise nuance remains provisional. The wall-crossing corresponds.
Verse 18:31 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:31] God—His way is blameless;
the word of YHWH is refined;
He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:31] My God—His way is blameless;
the Lord’s sayings are tried by fire;
He is a protector of all who hope in Him.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both affirm a blameless divine way, tested speech, and protection. Hebrew shield and refuge become Greek protector and hope.
Verse 18:32 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:32] For who is God apart from YHWH?
And who is a rock except our God?
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:32] For who is God except the Lord?
And who is God except our God?
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew’s second question names a rock; Greek repeats God, preserving exclusivity while changing the image.
Verse 18:33 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:33] God girds me with strength
and makes my way blameless.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:33] God girds me with power
and made my way blameless,
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: The divine provision of strength and an unblemished path agrees; Greek’s second verb explicitly looks back.
Verse 18:34 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:34] He makes my feet like those of deer
and sets me upon my high places.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:34] He sets my feet firmly like a deer’s
and makes me stand upon the heights,
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both combine sure-footed deer imagery with a secure position on heights; Hebrew makes the heights my own.
Verse 18:35 Disparate
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:35] He trains my hands for battle,
and a bronze bow is bent by my arms.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:35] training my hands for war;
and You made my arms a bronze bow.
Classification & Notes
Disparate. Text: Hebrew portrays the arms bending a bronze bow; Greek directly addresses God as making the arms themselves a bronze bow. The instrument and bodily image materially change.
Verse 18:36 Disparate
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:36] You gave me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand sustained me,
and Your gentleness made me great.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:36] And You gave me the protection of my salvation;
Your right hand supported me,
and Your discipline set me upright completely,
and Your discipline itself will teach me.
Classification & Notes
Disparate. Text: Hebrew’s divine gentleness or condescension produces greatness; Greek’s discipline raises and teaches, with an additional teaching clause. Hebrew Your salvation also differs from Greek my salvation. Saints: Augustine, §36 of the same exposition, interprets discipline as correction directing a person toward adherence to God and teaching that goal. [AUG-PS18]
Verse 18:37 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:37] You widened my steps beneath me,
and my ankles did not slip.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:37] You widened my steps beneath me,
and my footprints did not grow weak.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both describe firm movement on a broadened way; Hebrew ankles and slipping differ from Greek footprints and weakness.
Verse 18:38 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:38] I pursue my enemies and overtake them;
I do not return until they are finished.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:38] I will pursue my enemies and overtake them,
and I will not turn back until they fail.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both assert unrelenting pursuit until the enemies are exhausted or ended.
Verse 18:39 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:39] I crush them so that they cannot rise;
they fall beneath my feet.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:39] I will press them down, and they will certainly be unable to stand;
they will fall beneath my feet.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: The crushing defeat and inability to rise agree.
Verse 18:40 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:40] You girded me with strength for battle;
You brought those who rose against me down beneath me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:40] And You girded me with power for war;
You fettered all those who rose against me beneath me,
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew describes bringing opponents to their knees; Greek binds their feet and explicitly adds all.
Verse 18:41 Disparate
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:41] You made my enemies turn their backs to me,
and I destroyed those who hated me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:41] and You made my enemies turn their backs to me,
and You destroyed those who hated me.
Classification & Notes
Disparate. Text: The rout agrees, but the agent of the final destruction changes: Hebrew I, Greek You addressed to God.
Verse 18:42 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:42] They cried for help, but there was no savior;
they cried to YHWH, but He did not answer them.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:42] They cried out, and there was no one to save;
they cried to the Lord, and He did not hear them.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both describe the enemies’ unanswered appeal, including their appeal to the Lord.
Verse 18:43 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:43] I ground them like dust before the wind;
I poured them out like mud in the streets.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:43] And I will grind them fine like dust before the wind;
I will smooth them away like mud in the streets.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The dust-and-mud comparison agrees; Hebrew pours out the defeated, whereas Greek smooths or grinds them away.
Verse 18:44 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:44] You deliver me from the disputes of the people;
You set me as head of nations;
a people I did not know serves me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:44] You will rescue me from the people’s disputes;
You will appoint me head of nations;
a people I did not know served me.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Both connect rescue from internal contention with leadership over nations and service by an unfamiliar people; the verbal time frames differ.
Verse 18:45 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:45] At the mere hearing of the ear, they obey me;
foreigners submit falsely to me.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:45] At the hearing of the ear, it obeyed me;
foreigners lied to me.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew begins with plural subjects; Greek continues the preceding singular people. Hebrew’s false submission is rendered idiomatically; Greek explicitly says lied without supplying the form of submission.
Verse 18:46 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:46] Foreigners wither
and come trembling out of their enclosures.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:46] Foreigners grew old
and limped away from their paths.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew portrays fading foreigners trembling from fortified enclosures; Greek portrays aging foreigners limping from paths. The place and movement imagery substantially differ. Category basis: Withering/aging and trembling/limping from enclosures/paths change particular images within the same portrayal of retreating foreigners; a major change is not established.
Verse 18:47 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:47] YHWH lives! Blessed be my rock!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted,
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:47] The Lord lives! Blessed be my God!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted,
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew blesses my rock; Greek my God. Both acclaim the living Lord and exalt the God of salvation.
Verse 18:48 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:48] the God who gives me acts of vengeance
and subdues peoples beneath me,
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:48] the God who gives me acts of vengeance
and subjected peoples beneath me,
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both attribute vengeance and the subjection of peoples to God.
Verse 18:49 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:49] who delivers me from my enemies.
Indeed, You lift me above those who rise against me;
You rescue me from a violent man.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:49] my rescuer from my wrathful enemies.
You will raise me above those who rise against me;
You will rescue me from an unjust man.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Greek expressly qualifies the enemies as wrathful and speaks of an unjust man; Hebrew names a violent man. Both move from a description of God to direct address.
Verse 18:50 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:50] Therefore I will thank You among the nations, YHWH,
and sing praise to Your name.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:50] Therefore I will thank You among the nations, Lord,
and sing praise to Your name,
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both conclude the rescue testimony with thanksgiving and song among the nations.
Verse 18:51 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[18:51] He magnifies the salvations of His king
and shows steadfast love to His anointed,
to David and to his seed forever.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[17:51] magnifying the salvations of His king
and showing mercy to His anointed,
to David and to his seed forever.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both name David, his anointing, and the enduring benefit to his descendants. Greek closes with participles, while Hebrew’s participial description is expressed as a complete English sentence.
