Contextual Overview
1 For the leader. By David the servant of Adonai , who addressed the words of this song to Adonai on the day when Adonai delivered him from the power of all his enemies, including from the power of Sha'ul. 2 He said: "I love you, Adonai , my strength! 3 " Adonai is my Rock, my fortress and deliverer, my God, my Rock, in whom I find shelter, my shield, the power that saves me, my stronghold. 4 I call on Adonai , who is worthy of praise; and I am saved from my enemies. 5 "For the cords of death surrounded me, the floods of B'liya‘al terrified me, 6 the ropes of Sh'ol were wrapped around me, the snares of death lay there before me. 7 In my distress I called to Adonai ; I cried out to my God. Out of his temple he heard my voice; my cry reached his ears. 8 "Then the earth quaked and shook, the foundations of the mountains trembled. They were shaken because he was angry. 9 Smoke arose in his nostrils; out of his mouth came devouring fire; sparks blazed forth from him. 10 He lowered heaven and came down with thick darkness under his feet.

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 ×××× ×××× "in the day of my cloudy calamity", Ainsworth; "nomen" ××× "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.
