Psalm 18:25-36
New International Version
Psalm 18:25-36
New International Version
25 To the faithful(A) you show yourself faithful,(B)
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure(C) you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.(D)
27 You save the humble(E)
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.(F)
28 You, Lord, keep my lamp(G) burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.(H)
29 With your help(I) I can advance against a troop[a];
with my God I can scale a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:(J)
The Lord’s word is flawless;(K)
he shields(L) all who take refuge(M) in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord?(N)
And who is the Rock(O) except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength(P)
and keeps my way secure.(Q)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(R)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(S)
34 He trains my hands for battle;(T)
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains(U) me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(V) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.(W)

King James Version
Psalm 18:25-36
King James Version
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
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.

(M)So my feet did not slip.
