Ps. 18:1 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Ps. 17:15      Ps. 18:2

Psalms 18:1

He [David] said [begins this song of freedom with the following words]:
I want to love you deeply (embrace me as your child, I need to feel your closeness)!
[David does not use the usual Hebrew word for love, ahav, but racham, which is otherwise always used to describe how God loves man by showing compassion and mercy. The first time racham is used is in Ex. 33:19, where Moses sees God's glory and God has mercy on him. How can David have mercy on God? We gain a deeper understanding when the word is also used to describe the heartfelt love and care a mother has for her child, see Isa. 49:15, i.e. through the closeness and bonds that develop when a parent gives their child physical closeness. With this word, David describes his inner longing and his deep need to be close to his heavenly Father.]
Lord (Yahweh),
my strength (source of power).
