Psalm 18:28-36

Common English Bible

²⁸ You are the one who lights my lamp—
    the Lord my God illumines my darkness.
²⁹ With you I can charge into battle;
    with my God I can leap over a wall.
³⁰ God! His way is perfect;
    the Lord’s word is tried and true.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

³¹ Now really, who is divine except the Lord?
    And who is a rock but our God?
³² Only God! The God who equips me with strength
    and makes my way perfect,
³³     who makes my step as sure as the deer’s,
    who lets me stand securely on the heights,
³⁴     who trains my hands for war
    so my arms can bend a bronze bow.
³⁵ You’ve given me the shield of your salvation;
    your strong hand has supported me;
    your help has made me great.
³⁶ You’ve let me walk fast and safe,
    without even twisting an ankle.
