Context of Psalms 18:29

27For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down. 28For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 30As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him. 31For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
