Psalms 18:30-42 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

30. God — His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

31. For who is God besides Yahweh? And who is a rock? Only our God.

32. God — He clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect.

33. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me securely on the heights.

34. He trains my hands for war; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35. You have given me the shield of Your salvation;Your right hand upholds me, and Your humility exalts me.

36. You widen a place beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way.

37. I pursue my enemies and overtake them;I do not turn back until they are wiped out.

38. I crush them, and they cannot get up;they fall beneath my feet.

39. You have clothed me with strength for battle; You subdue my adversaries beneath me.

40. You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.

41. They cry for help, but there is no one to save them —they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

42. I pulverize them like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets.
