View Full Chapter

29You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light.

30With your help I can advance against a troop Or can run through a barricade ; with my God I can scale a wall.

31“As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD ’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

32For who is God besides the LORD ? And who is the Rock except our God?

33It is God who arms me with strength Dead Sea Scrolls, some Septuagint manuscripts, Vulgate and Syriac (see also Psalm 18:32); Masoretic Text who is my strong refuge and keeps my way secure.

34He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.

35He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36You make your saving help my shield; your help has made Dead Sea Scrolls; Masoretic Text shield; / you stoop down to make me great.

37You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

38“I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

39I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

40You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.
