Psalm 18:29–42

²⁹With You I can attack a barrier, ^g

and with my God I can leap over a wall. ^h

³⁰God—His way is perfect; ⁱ

the word of the Lord is pure. ^j

He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. ^k

³¹For who is God besides Yahweh? ^l

And who is a rock? Only our God. ^m

³²God—He clothes me with strength ⁿ

and makes my way perfect.

³³He makes my feet like the feet of a deer ^o

and sets me securely on the heights. ^pq

³⁴He trains my hands for war; ^r

my arms can bend a bow of bronze. ^s

³⁵You have given me the shield of Your salvation;

Your right hand upholds me, ^t

and Your humility exalts me.

³⁶You widen a place beneath me for my steps, ^u

and my ankles do not give way. ^v

³⁷I pursue my enemies and overtake them;

I do not turn back until they are wiped out. ^w

³⁸I crush them, and they cannot get up;

they fall beneath my feet. ^x

³⁹You have clothed me with strength for battle; ^y

You subdue my adversaries beneath me. ^z

⁴⁰You have made my enemies retreat before me; ^ab

I annihilate those who hate me. ^c

⁴¹They cry for help, but there is no one to save them ^d—

they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them. ^e

⁴²I pulverize them like dust before the wind; ^f

I trample them ^glike mud in the streets. ^h
