25With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
26With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
27For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
28For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
31For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
32The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
33Who maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places;
34Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
35And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
36Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
37I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
38I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
39And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
40And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
41They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
42And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
