Psalms 18:29-42

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.

37You broaden my steps beneath me, so my ankles have not slipped.

38I pursue my enemies and overtake them, and will not return till they are wiped out.

39I will crush them till they cannot rise, till they fall beneath my feet.

40For You girded me with strength for battle. You made those who rose up against me bow down before me.

41You also made my enemies turn their backs to me. I cut off those who hate me.

42They cry out, but there is none to save —even to Adonai, but He did not answer them.
