According to David, God is like a superhero who gives him strength and helps him when he's in trouble. David wants to tell God that he loves Him very much.

Psalms 18:1: [To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,] I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

Contradiction with Job 34:10

This verse emphasizes God's justice and inability to do wickedness, which may contradict Psalm 18:1 if focusing on interpretations of God allowing adversities.

Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7

This verse states that God creates both peace and evil, which contrasts with Psalms 18:1 where God is depicted purely as a source of strength and love.

Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].

Contradiction with Lamentations 3:38

This verse suggests that both good and evil proceed from the mouth of God, which contradicts the notion in Psalms 18:1 of God being solely a loving and supporting figure.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:45

This verse states that God causes the sun to rise on both the evil and the good, implying impartiality, which might contrast with the personal and exclusive devotion expressed in Psalms 18:1.
