    Psalms 18
    • 1   I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
    • 2   The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
    • 3   I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
    • 4   The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
    • 5   The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
    • 6   In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
    • 7   Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
    • 8   There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
    • 9   He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
    • 10   And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
    • 11   He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
    • 12   At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
    • 13   The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
    • 14   Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
    • 15   Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
    • 16   He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
    • 17   He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
    • 18   They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
    • 19   He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
    • 20   The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
    • 21   For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
    • 22   For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
    • 23   I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
    • 24   Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
    • 25   With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
    • 26   With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
    • 27   For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
    • 28   For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
    • 29   For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
    • 30   As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
    • 31   For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?
    • 32   It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
    • 33   He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
    • 34   He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
    • 35   Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
    • 36   Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
    • 37   I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
    • 38   I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
    • 39   For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
    • 40   Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
    • 41   They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
    • 42   Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
    • 43   Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
    • 44   As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
    • 45   The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
    • 46   The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
    • 47   It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
    • 48   He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
    • 49   Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
    • 50   Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
