New Testament

Psalm 17:29-41 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. For you illuminate my lamp, O Lord. My God, enlighten my darkness.

30. For in you, I will be delivered from temptation; and with my God, I will climb over a wall.

31. As for my God, his way is undefiled. The eloquence of the Lord has been examined by fire. He is the protector of all who hope in him.

32. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is God, except our God?

33. It is God who has wrapped me with virtue and made my way immaculate.

34. It is he who has perfected my feet, like the feet of deer, and who stations me upon the heights.

35. It is he who trains my hands for battle. And you have set my arms like a bow of brass.

36. And you have given me the protection of your salvation. And your right hand sustains me. And your discipline has corrected me unto the end. And your discipline itself will teach me.

37. You have expanded my footsteps under me, and my tracks have not been weakened.

38. I will pursue my enemies and apprehend them. And I will not turn back until they have failed.

39. I will break them, and they will not be able to stand. They will fall under my feet.

40. And you have wrapped me with virtue for the battle. And those rising up against me, you have subdued under me.

41. And you have given the back of my enemies to me, and you have destroyed those who hated me.
