Psalms 18:18-37

¹⁸They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

¹⁹And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

²⁰Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

²¹For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

²²For all His judgments are before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.

²³And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

²⁴And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.

²⁵With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.

²⁶With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,

²⁷For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.

²⁸For Thou — Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

²⁹For by Thee I run — a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.

³⁰God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him.

³¹For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is a rock save our God?

³²God! who is girding me with strength, And He maketh perfect my way.

³³Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.

³⁴Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.

³⁵And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

³⁶Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

³⁷I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
