29 With your help(A) I can advance against a troop[a];
    with my God I can scale a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect:(B)
    The Lord’s word is flawless;(C)
    he shields(D) all who take refuge(E) in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord?(F)
    And who is the Rock(G) except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength(H)
    and keeps my way secure.(I)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(J)
    he causes me to stand on the heights.(K)
34 He trains my hands for battle;(L)
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains(M) me;
    your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(N) for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.(O)

37 I pursued my enemies(P) and overtook them;
    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them(Q) so that they could not rise;(R)
    they fell beneath my feet.(S)

  1. Psalm 18:29 Or can run through a barricade

29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?

32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
