Psalms 18

David praises YHWH for delivering him from his enemies, describing his distress as being surrounded by the cords of death and Sheol, and recounting how YHWH heard his cry and responded with divine anger that shook the earth.[1][3] David celebrates his victory over his enemies, attributing his strength and success to YHWH's empowerment, and declares that YHWH rewarded him according to his righteousness.[1][2]
