Context of Psalms 18:29

27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down. 28For thou wilt light my lamp: the LORD my God will lighten my darkness. For by thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I leap over a wall. 30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him. 31For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, beside our God?
