Psalm 18:18-19

They (my foes) confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

They confronted me in the day of my disaster 
Proverbs 1:26-27  "I (Wisdom) in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you (the simple, mockers, fools); I will mock when calamity overtakes you--when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you."
Proverbs 16:4  The LORD works out everything to its proper end--even the wicked for a day of disaster.
Jeremiah 17:17  Do not be a terror to me; you (the LORD) are my refuge in the day of disaster.
Jeremiah 40:2-3  When the (Babylonian) commander of the guard found Jeremiah, he said to him, "The LORD your God decreed this disaster for this place. And now the LORD has brought it about; he has done just as he said he would. All this happened because you people sinned against the LORD and did not obey him."
Obadiah 1:13  "You should not march through the gates of my people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over them in their calamity in the day of their disaster, nor seize their wealth in the day of their disaster."

but the LORD was my support 
Psalm 20:2  May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
Isaiah 3:1  See now, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support; all supplies of food and all supplies of water, ...

He brought me out into a spacious place 
Psalm 31:8  You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.

he rescued me because he delighted in me 
Numbers 14:6-8  Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them."
