Psalms 18:29-42

29In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

30God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

31For who is God except the Lord? Who but our God is a solid rock?

32God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect.

33He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.

34He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.

35You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great.

36You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.

37I chased my enemies and caught them; I did not stop until they were conquered.

38I struck them down so they could not get up; they fell beneath my feet.

39You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet.

40You placed my foot on their necks. I have destroyed all who hated me.

41They called for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the Lord, but he refused to answer.

42I ground them as fine as dust in the wind. I swept them into the gutter like dirt.
