Psalms 18:30-44 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

30. Your way is perfect, Lord,and your word is correct.You are a shield for thosewho run to you for help.

31. You alone are God!Only you are a mighty rock.

32. You give me strengthand guide me right.

33. You make my feet run as fastas those of a deer,and you help me standon the mountains.

34. You teach my hands to fightand my arms to usea bow of bronze.

35. You alone are my shield.Your right hand supports me,and by coming to help me,you have made me famous.

36. You clear the way for me,and now I won't stumble.

37. I kept chasing my enemies,until I caught themand destroyed them.

38. I stuck my swordthrough my enemies,and they were crushedunder my feet.

39. You helped me win victories,and you forced my attackersto fall victim to me.

40. You made my enemies run,and I killed them.

41. They cried out for help,but no one saved them;they called out to you,but there was no answer.

42. I ground them to dustblown by the wind,and I poured them outlike mud in the streets.

43. You rescued mefrom stubborn people,and you made me the leaderof foreign nations,who are now my slaves.

44. They obey and come crawling.
