New Testament

Psalm 18:27-47 American Standard Version (ASV)

27. For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

28. For thou wilt light my lamp: Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.

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 Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

31. For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides 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, so 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 Jehovah, 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 foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.

45. The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.

46. Jehovah 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.
