Psalms 18:29-42

29For by thee I have run throughH7323 a troopH1416; and by my GodH430 have I leaped overH1801 a wallH7791.1

30As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549: the wordH565 of YhwhH3068 is triedH6884: he is a bucklerH4043 to all those that trustH2620 in him.2

31For who is GodH433 saveH1107 YhwhH3068? or who is a rockH6697 saveH2108 our GodH430?

32It is GodH410 that girdethH247 me with strengthH2428, and makethH5414 my wayH1870 perfectH8549.

33He makethH7737 my feetH7272 like hinds’H355 feet, and settethH5975 me upon my high placesH1116.

34He teachethH3925 my handsH3027 to warH4421, so that a bowH7198 of steelH5154 is brokenH5181 by mine armsH2220.

35Thou hast also givenH5414 me the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468: and thy right handH3225 hath holden me upH5582, and thy gentlenessH6037 hath made me greatH7235.3

36Thou hast enlargedH7337 my stepsH6806 under me, that my feetH7166 did not slipH4571.4

37I have pursuedH7291 mine enemiesH341, and overtakenH5381 them: neither did I turn againH7725 till they were consumedH3615.

38I have woundedH4272 them that they were not ableH3201 to riseH6965: they are fallenH5307 under my feetH7272.

39For thou hast girdedH247 me with strengthH2428 unto the battleH4421: thou hast subduedH3766 under me those that rose upH6965 against me.5

40Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341; that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.

41They criedH7768, but there was none to saveH3467 them: even unto YhwhH3068, but he answeredH6030 them not.

42Then did I beatH7833 them small as the dustH6083 beforeH6440 the windH7307: I did cast them outH7324 as the dirtH2916 in the streetsH2351.
