Psalm 18:29–42

²⁹For 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 Jehovah is tried;

He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

³¹For who is God, save Jehovah?

And who is a rock, besides our God,

³²The God that girdeth me with strength,

And maketh my way perfect?

³³He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet:

And setteth me upon my high places.

³⁴He teacheth my hands to war;

So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

³⁵Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;

And thy right hand hath holden me up,

And thy gentleness hath made me great.

³⁶Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,

And my feet have not slipped.

³⁷I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them;

Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.

³⁸I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise:

They shall fall under my feet.

³⁹For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:

Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

⁴⁰Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,

That I might cut off them that hate me.

⁴¹They cried, but there was none to save;

Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

⁴²Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;

I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
