Psalms 18:29-42

29For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.

30This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

31For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?—

32the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless.

33He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.

34He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great.

36You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.

37I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed.

38I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.

39For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.

40You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed.

41They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

42I beat them fine as dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets.
