Psalms 18:29-42

29ForH3588 in You I can chargeH7323 an armyH1416, and with my GodH430 I can scaleH1801 a wallH7791.30As for GodH410, His wayH1870 is perfectH8549; the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 is flawlessH6884. HeH1931 is a shieldH4043 to allH3605 who take refugeH2620 in Him.

31ForH3588 whoH4310 is GodH433 besidesH1107 the LORDH3068?And whoH4310 is the RockH6697 exceptH2108 our GodH430?32It is GodH410 who arms meH247 with strengthH2428and makesH5414 my wayH1870 clearH8549.33He makesH7737 my feetH7272 like those of a deerH355and stations meH5975 uponH5921 the heightsH1116.34He trainsH3925 my handsH3027 for battleH4421;my armsH2220 can bendH5181 a bowH7198 of bronzeH5154.
35You have givenH5414 me Your shieldH4043 of salvationH3468;Your right handH3225 upholds meH5582,and Your gentlenessH6037 exalts meH7235.136You broadenH7337 the pathH6806 beneath meH8478so that my anklesH7166 do notH3808 give wayH4571.37I pursuedH7291 my enemiesH341 and overtook themH5381;I did notH3808 turn backH7725 untilH5704 they were consumedH3615.38I crushed themH4272 so they could notH3808H3201 riseH6965;they have fallenH5307 underH8478 my feetH7272.
39You have armed meH247 with strengthH2428 for battleH4421;You have subduedH3766 my foesH6965 beneath meH8478.40You have madeH5414 my enemiesH341 retreatH6203 before me;I destroyedH6789 those who hated meH8130.41They cried for helpH7768, but there was no oneH369 to save themH3467—toH5921 the LORDH3068, but He did notH3808 answerH6030.42I ground themH7833 as dustH6083 inH5921 the face ofH6440 the windH7307;I trampled themH73242 like mudH2916 in the streetsH2351.
