Psalms 18:29-42

29With you I can attack a barricade, and with my God I can leap over a wall.

30God — his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.

31For who is God besides the Lord? And who is a rock? Only our God.

32God — he clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect.

33He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me securely on the heights.

34He trains my hands for war; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35You have given me the shield of your salvation; your right hand upholds me, and your humility exalts me.

36You make a spacious place beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way.

37I pursue my enemies and overtake them; I do not turn back until they are wiped out.

38I crush them, and they cannot get up; they fall beneath my feet.

39You have clothed me with strength for battle; you subdue my adversaries beneath me.

40You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.

41They cry for help, but there is no one to save them  — they cry to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

42I pulverize them like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets.
