P s a l m 1 8

Just wanted to post the lyrics to Lori Chaffer's acoustic version of Pslam 18.

She insightfully condenses the soul of this 50-verse psalm into a 4-verse ballad that keeps the meaning and intent fully intact. I have been drawing a lot of inspiration from Psalm 18 lately, as it reminds me that God truly is my great deliverer, and that I have great reason to "give thanks to you, oh Lord, among the nations, and sing praises unto Your name"

Psalm 18

I call to the Lord who is worthy of praise
And all my enemies don’t know where to face
The cords of death have entangled my feet
I cried to You and from Your temple You heard me and rescued me

He rode down on the wings of the wind
Dark clouds were a canopy around Him
He shot His arrows and He scattered my foes
With bolts of lightning they all became exposed

So I’ll sing alleluia
Alleluia
Praise the Lord

You, o Lord keep my lamp burning bright
My God turns my darkness into light
With my God I can scale a wall
With your help, I can win a war and not even fall

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer
And lets me stand on the heights high above my fears
He makes the path broad beneath my feet
So my ankles don’t turn and ruin me

So I'll sing alleluia
Alleluia
Praise the Lord

So I'll sing alleluia
Alleluia
Praise the Lord
