Psalms 18:20-36

20He brought me out to a wide-open place. He rescued me since He delighted in me.

21Adonai rewarded me for my righteousness. For the cleanness of my hands He repaid me.

22For I kept the ways of Adonai, and did not turn wickedly from my God.

23For all His judgments are before me. I do not put His rulings away from me.

24I also had integrity with Him, and kept myself from my sin.

25So Adonai rewarded me for my righteousness, for the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

26With the loyal You deal loyally. With the blameless You are blameless.

27With the pure You are pure, and with the crooked You are shrewd.

28For You save lowly people, but haughty eyes You humble.

29For You light up my lamp. Adonai my God shines in my darkness.

30For with You I rush on a troop, with my God I scale a wall.

31As for God, His way is perfect. The word of Adonai is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

32For who is God, except Adonai? And who is a Rock, except our God?

33God girds me with strength and makes my way straight.

34He makes my feet like those of deer and makes me stand on my heights.

35He trains my hands for battle, so my arms can bend a bronze bow.

36You gave me the shield of Your salvation. Your right hand upholds me, Your gentleness makes me great.
