Psalms 18:29-42

29Indeed, with your help I can charge against an army; by my God’s power I can jump over a wall.

30The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord’s promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

31Indeed, who is God besides the Lord? Who is a protector besides our God?

32The one true God gives me strength; he removes the obstacles in my way.

33He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.

34He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend even the strongest bow.

35You give me your protective shield; your right hand supports me; your willingness to help enables me to prevail.

36You widen my path; my feet do not slip.

37I chase my enemies and catch them; I do not turn back until I wipe them out.

38I beat them to death; they fall at my feet.

39You give me strength for battle; you make my foes kneel before me.

40You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me.

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

42I grind them as fine windblown dust; I beat them underfoot like clay in the streets.
