Bible Quiz – Psalm 18 (Fill in the Blanks)
Translation Used: King James Version (KJV)
Welcome to one of the most comprehensive and
challenging Bible quizzes ever created on Psalm 18.
This is not a casual memory test. It is a
text-precision, order-awareness, and theological attentiveness challenge based
entirely on the King James Version (KJV).
Psalm 18 is a majestic victory psalm—rich in theophany,
covenant language, divine warfare imagery, moral reciprocity, and royal
theology. These quizzes are designed to move you beyond familiarity into
mastery of the inspired text itself.
Whether you are a Bible student, teacher, quiz leader,
or lifelong reader of Scripture, this series will test how closely you know
what is written—and in what order it is written.
🧭 General Instructions (Read First)
📘 Translation Used: King James Version (KJV)
Answer strictly according to the KJV wording
⚠️ Similar words (e.g., proud / high, loved / delighted)
are intentional traps
🧠 Do not rely on “meaning” alone—textual accuracy
matters
📖 Verses are often not numbered in the questions to
increase difficulty
Take your time. Psalm 18 rewards slow, careful reading.
Section Instructions
🔹 1. Fill in the Blanks (Multiple Choice)
Choose the exact word or phrase used in Psalm 18
Options may look correct theologically but only one
matches the KJV text
Best attempted after at least one full reading of the
psalm
🔥 2. EXTREME “No-Hints” Round
No verse numbers
No partial clues
No explanatory hints
Only the raw sentence gap and multiple-choice options

🪤 3. Scholar Traps & Decoy Rounds
Designed to catch:
Synonym substitutions
Common paraphrase habits
Cross-psalm confusion
Expect choices that are biblical—but not from Psalm 18
⚠️ Read every word carefully.
🧠 4. Verse-Order Reconstruction Challenge
Clauses or verse blocks are presented out of order
Your task is to reconstruct the original inspired
sequence
Focus on:
Narrative flow
Poetic progression

📊 Scoring Guidance
High scores indicate close reading and textual
discipline
❌ Low scores are not failure—they reveal where rereading
is needed
📖 The goal is greater reverence for the written Word,
not perfection
Psalm 18 reminds us that God is not only our
Deliverer—but our Rock, Fortress, and Shield.
The more precisely we know His Word, the more deeply we
understand His ways.
