He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poetry describes divine intervention through images of earthquake, smoke, fire, darkness, and heavenly descent. These images should not be reduced to a meteorological description; they form poetic theophanic language communicating God’s majesty entering into action. The Lord appears as a sovereign warrior who hears David’s cry and brings him out of deep waters. The king’s deliverance thus becomes a manifestation of divine power.

Er errettete mich von meinen starken Feinden, von meinen Hassern, die zu mir mächtig waren,
Librome de fuertes enemigos, De aquellos que me aborrecían, los cuales eran más fuertes que yo.
Me libró de mi enemigo poderoso y de quienes me odiaban, porque eran más fuertes que yo.
Il me délivra de mon adversaire puissant, De mes ennemis qui étaient plus forts que moi.
Egli mi riscosse dal mio potente nemico, Da quelli che mi odiavano; perciocchè erano più forti di me.
Livrou-me do meu poderoso inimigo, e daqueles que me tinham ódio, porque eram mais fortes do que eu.
他救我脫離我的強敵, 脫離那些恨我的人, 因為他們比我強盛。
