Psalms 18:30-44

³⁰(18-31) As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.

³¹(18-32) For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?

³²(18-33) The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;

³³(18-34) Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;

³⁴(18-35) Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

³⁵(18-36) Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.

³⁶(18-37) Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

³⁷(18-38) I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.

³⁸(18-39) I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.

³⁹(18-40) For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

⁴⁰(18-41) Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.

⁴¹(18-42) They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.

⁴²(18-43) Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴³(18-44) Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.

⁴⁴(18-45) As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
