Psalms 18:29-49 English Revised Version (ERV)

29. For by thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I leap over a wall.

30. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

31. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, beside our God?

32. The 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 mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

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, and my feet have not slipped.

37. I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them: neither will I turn again till they are consumed.

38. I will smite them through that they shall not be able to rise: they shall fall under my feet.

39. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

40. Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.

41. They cried, but there was none to save: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

42. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44. As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45. The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

46. The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation:

47. Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.

48. He rescueth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man.

49. Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name.
