Psalms 18:26-36

²⁶He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

²⁷For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but eyes full of pride will be made low.

²⁸You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me.

²⁹By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in; by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

³⁰As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him.

³¹For who is God but the Lord? or who is a Rock but our God?

³²God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.

³³He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.

³⁴He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.

³⁵You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.

³⁶You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping.
