Psalm 18:29–42

²⁹For by Thee I run—a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.

³⁰God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him.

³¹For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is a rock save our God?

³²God! who is girding me with strength, And He maketh perfect my way.

³³Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.

³⁴Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.

³⁵And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

³⁶Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

³⁷I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.

³⁸I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,

³⁹And Thou girdest me with strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.

⁴⁰As to mine enemies—Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me—I cut them off.

⁴¹They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.

⁴²And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.
