Psalm 18:29–42

²⁹For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. ³⁰As for •God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him. ³¹For who is †God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God? ³²The •God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect, ³³Who maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places; ³⁴Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass; ³⁵And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great. ³⁶Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered. ³⁷I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed. ³⁸I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet. ³⁹And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me. ⁴⁰And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed. ⁴¹They cried, and there was none to save; —unto Jehovah, and he answered them not. ⁴²And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
