Contextual Overview
1 I wyll entirely loue thee O God my strength, 2 God is my stony rocke & my fortresse, and my delyuerer: my Lorde, my castell in whom I wyll trust, my buckler, the horne of my saluation, & my refuge. 3 I wyll call vpon God, who is most worthy to be praysed: so I shall be safe from myne enemies. 4 The panges of death haue compassed me about: and the outragiousnes of the wicked haue astonyed me with feare. 5 The panges of a graue haue compassed me about: the snares of death ouertoke me. 6 But in this my distresse I dyd call vppon God, and I made my complaynt vnto my Lorde: he hearde my voyce out of his temple, and my crye came before his face, euen vnto his eares. 7 The earth trembled and quaked: the very foundations of the hylles tottered and shooke, because he was wroth. 8 In his anger a smoke ascended vp: and a fire out of his mouth dyd cosume, and euery cole therof dyd set a fire. 9 He bowed the heauens also, and he came downe: and it was darke vnder his feete. 10 He ridde vpon the Cherub, and he dyd flee: he came fleeyng vpon the wynges of the wynde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
They prevented me in the day of my calamity,.... Referring to the times of his distress in the garden and upon the cross; the time of his sufferings and death, which was a dark and cloudy day, as the word x used suggests, both in a literal and in a spiritual sense; and when the day and hour was come, fixed and determined by the will of God, then his enemies, though not before, met him, laid hold on him, were too mighty for him, condemned, crucified, and insulted him;
but the Lord was my stay; or staff, on whom he leaned, relied, and depended, believing he would help him; and by whom he was supported and upheld, Isaiah 42:1. The Targum is,
"the Word of the Lord was my stay.''
x ביום אידי "in the day of my cloudy calamity", Ainsworth; "nomen" איד "proprie signifient vaporem vel nubem, ut Gen. vii. 6. hinc per metaphoram transfertur ad obscuras ac terrificas calamitatum nebulas, Prov. i. 26.", Gejerus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They prevented me - They anticipated me, or went before me. See the note at Psalms 18:5. The idea here is that his enemies came before him, or intercepted his way. They were in his path, ready to destroy him.
In the day of my calamity - In the day to which I now look back as the time of my special trial.
But the Lord was my stay - My support, or prop. That is, the Lord upheld me, and kept me from falling.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 18:18. They prevented me in the day of my calamity — They took advantage of the time in which I was least able to make head against them, and their attack was sudden and powerful. I should have been overthrown, but the Lord was my stay. He had been nearly exhausted by the fatigue of the day, when the giant availed himself of this advantage.
