PSALMS 18:24-34

²⁴Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

²⁵With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;

²⁶With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.

²⁷For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

²⁸For thou wilt light my lamp: the LORD my God will lighten my darkness.

²⁹For by thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I leap over a wall.

³⁰As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

³¹For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, beside our God?

³²The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

³³He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places,

³⁴He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
