Psalms 18:29-50

29For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can aleap over ba wall.
30This God—his way is cperfect;
Or blameless

the word of the Lord eproves true;
he is fa shield for all those who gtake refuge in him.
31 For hwho is God, but the Lord?
And who is ia rock, except our God?—
32the God who jequipped me with strength
and made my way kblameless.
33He made my feet like the feet of a ldeer
and set me secure on mthe heights.
34He ntrains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand osupported me,
and your pgentleness made me great.
36You qgave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.
37I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
and did not turn back till they were consumed.
38I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
they fell under my feet.
39For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made those who rise against me sink under me.
40You made my enemies rturn their backs to me,
Or  You gave me my enemies’ necks

and those who hated me I destroyed.
41 tThey cried for help, but there was none to save;
they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42I beat them fine as udust before the wind;
I cast them out like vthe mire of the streets.
43 You delivered me from wstrife with the people;
you made me xthe head of the nations;
ypeople whom I had not known served me.
44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me;
zforeigners aacame cringing to me.
45 abForeigners lost heart
and accame trembling out of their fortresses.
46 The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of my salvation
47the God who gave me vengeance
and adsubdued peoples under me,
48who rescued me from my enemies;
yes, you aeexalted me above those who rose against me;
you delivered me from afthe man of violence.
49 agFor this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and ahsing to your name.
50Great aisalvation he brings to his king,
and shows steadfast love to his ajanointed,
to akDavid and his offspring forever.
