20 of 25 for January

Psalm 18:
1 "I love You, O LORD, (A)my strength."
2The LORD is (B)my rock and (C)my fortress and my (D)deliverer,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My (E)shield and the (F)horn of my salvation, my (G)stronghold.
3I call upon the LORD, who is (H)worthy to be praised,
And I am (I)saved from my enemies.
4The (J)cords of death encompassed me,
And the (K)torrents of [a]ungodliness terrified me.
5The (L)cords of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6In my (M)distress I called upon the LORD,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice (N)out of His temple,
And my (O)cry for help before Him came into His ears.
7Then the (P)earth shook and quaked;
And the (Q)foundations of the mountains were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.
8Smoke went up out of His nostrils,
And (R)fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.
9He (S)bowed the heavens also, and came down
With thick (T)darkness under His feet.
10He rode upon a (U)cherub and flew;
And He sped upon the (V)wings of the wind.
11He made (W)darkness His hiding place, (X)His canopy around Him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12From the (Y)brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,
Hailstones and (Z)coals of fire.
13The LORD also (AA)thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14He (AB)sent out His arrows, and scattered them,
And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them.
15Then the (AC)channels of water appeared,
And the foundations of the world were laid bare
At Your (AD)rebuke, O LORD,
At the blast of the (AE)breath of Your nostrils.
16He (AF)sent from on high, He took me;
He drew me out of (AG)many waters.
17He (AH)delivered me from my strong enemy,
And from those who hated me, for they were (AI)too mighty for me.
18They confronted me in (AJ)the day of my calamity,
But (AK)the LORD was my stay.
19He brought me forth also into a (AL)broad place;
He rescued me, because (AM)He delighted in me.
20The LORD has (AN)rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the (AO)cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
21For I have (AP)kept the ways of the LORD,
And have (AQ)not wickedly departed from my God.
22For all (AR)His ordinances were before me,
And I did not put away His (AS)statutes from me.
23I was also [b](AT)blameless with Him,
And I (AU)kept myself from my iniquity.
24Therefore the LORD has (AV)recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
25With (AW)the kind You show Yourself kind;
With the blameless (AX)You show Yourself blameless;
26With the pure You show Yourself (AY)pure,
And with the crooked (AZ)You show Yourself [c]astute.
27For You (BA)save an afflicted people,
But (BB)haughty eyes You abase.
28For You (BC)light my lamp;
The LORD my God (BD)illumines my darkness.
29For by You I can [d](BE)run upon a troop;
And by my God I can (BF)leap over a wall.
30As for God, His way is (BG)blameless;
The (BH)word of the LORD is tried;
He is a (BI)shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31For (BJ)who is God, but the LORD?
And who is a (BK)rock, except our God,
32The God who (BL)girds me with strength
And makes my way (BM)blameless?
33He (BN)makes my feet like hinds' feet,
And (BO)sets me upon my high places.
34He (BP)trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can (BQ)bend a bow of bronze.
35You have also given me (BR)the shield of Your salvation,
And Your (BS)right hand upholds me;
And (BT)Your gentleness makes me great.
36You (BU)enlarge my steps under me,
And my (BV)feet have not slipped.
37I (BW)pursued my enemies and overtook them,
And I did not turn back (BX)until they were consumed.
38I shattered them, so that they were (BY)not able to rise;
They fell (BZ)under my feet.
39For You have (CA)girded me with strength for battle;
You have (CB)subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40You have also made my enemies (CC)turn their backs to me,
And I [e](CD)destroyed those who hated me.
41They cried for help, but there was (CE)none to save,
Even to the LORD, but (CF)He did not answer them.
42Then I beat them fine as the (CG)dust before the wind;
I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.
43You have delivered me from the (CH)contentions of the people;
You have placed me as (CI)head of the nations;
A (CJ)people whom I have not known serve me.
44As soon as they hear, they obey me;
Foreigners [f](CK)submit to me.
45Foreigners (CL)fade away,
And (CM)come trembling out of their fortresses.
46The LORD (CN)lives, and blessed be (CO)my rock;
And exalted be (CP)the God of my salvation,
47The God who (CQ)executes vengeance for me,
And (CR)subdues peoples under me.
48He (CS)delivers me from my enemies;
Surely You (CT)lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the (CU)violent man.
49Therefore I will (CV)give thanks to You among the nations, O LORD,
And I will (CW)sing praises to Your name.
50He gives great [g](CX)deliverance to His king,
And shows lovingkindness to (CY)His anointed,
To David and (CZ)his descendants forever.

Psalm 19:
7(DH)The law of the LORD is [i](DI)perfect, (DJ)restoring the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is (DK)sure, making (DL)wise the simple.
8The precepts of the LORD are (DM)right, (DN)rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is (DO)pure, (DP)enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are (DQ)true; they are (DR)righteous altogether.
10They are more desirable than (DS)gold, yes, than much fine gold;
(DT)Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11Moreover, by them (DU)Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great (DV)reward.
