New King James Version

Psalms 18:28-40 New King James Version (NKJV)

28. For You will light my lamp;The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

29. For by You I can run against a troop,By my God I can leap over a wall.

30. As for God, His way is perfect;The word of the Lord is proven;He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

31. For who is God, except the Lord?And who is a rock, except our God?

32. It is God who arms me with strength,And makes my way perfect.

33. He makes my feet like the feet of deer,And sets me on my high places.

34. He teaches my hands to make war,So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;Your right hand has held me up,Your gentleness has made me great.

36. You enlarged my path under me,So my feet did not slip.

37. I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

38. I have wounded them,So that they could not rise;They have fallen under my feet.

39. For You have armed me with strength for the battle;You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40. You have also given me the necks of my enemies,So that I destroyed those who hated me.
