New Century Version

Psalms 18:28-38 New Century Version (NCV)

28. Lord, you give light to my lamp.My God brightens the darkness around me.

29. With your help I can attack an army.With God’s help I can jump over a wall.

30. The ways of God are without fault.The Lord’s words are pure.He is a shield to those who trust him.

31. Who is God? Only the Lord.Who is the Rock? Only our God.

32. God is my protection.He makes my way free from fault.

33. He makes me like a deer that does not stumble;he helps me stand on the steep mountains.

34. He trains my hands for battleso my arms can bend a bronze bow.

35. You protect me with your saving shield.You support me with your right hand.You have stooped to make me great.

36. You give me a better way to live,so I live as you want me to.

37. I chased my enemies and caught them.I did not quit until they were destroyed.

38. I crushed them so they couldn’t rise up again.They fell beneath my feet.
