Contextual Overview
1"I love You [fervently and devotedly], O LORD, my strength." 2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me; My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower—my stronghold. 3I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; And I am saved from my enemies. 4The cords of death surrounded me, And the streams of ungodliness and torrents of destruction terrified me. 5The cords of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. 6In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the LORD And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears. 7Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of the mountains trembled; They were shaken because He was indignant and angry. 8Smoke went up from His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it. 9He bowed the heavens also and came down; And thick darkness was under His feet. 10And He rode upon a cherub (storm) and flew; And He sped on the wings of the wind.

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.
