Psalms 18:28-40

²⁸(18:29) For thou wilt cause my light to shine: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

²⁹(18:30) For aided by thee I run through a troop; and helped by my God I leap over a wall.

³⁰(18:31) As for God,—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a shield to all those that trust in him.

³¹(18:32) For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock beside our God?

³²(18:33) He is the God that girdeth me with strength, and rendereth my way unobstructed.

³³(18:34) He maketh my feet like those of the hinds, and upon my high-places he causeth me to stand.

³⁴(18:35) He teacheth my hands for the war, so that a brazen bow is bent by my arms.

³⁵(18:36) And thou gavest me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand supported me: and thy meekness hath made me great.

³⁶(18:37) Thou enlargest my steps under me, so that my joints do not slip.

³⁷(18:38) I pursue my enemies, and overtake them; and I return not again till I have made an end of them.

³⁸(18:39) I crush them that they are not able to rise: they fall under my feet.

³⁹(18:40) For thou hast girded me with strength for the war: thou subduest my opponents under me.

⁴⁰(18:41) And my enemies thou causest to turn their back to me; and those that hate me,—that I may destroy them.
