23. I always remembered his laws. I never stopped following his rules.
24. He knows I did nothing that was wrong. I have kept myself from sinning.
25. So the Lord rewarded me for doing what is right. He could see that I am innocent.
26. Lord, you are faithful to those who are faithful. You are good to those who are good.
27. You never do wrong to those who have done no wrong. But you outsmart the wicked, no matter how clever they are.
28. You help those who are humble, but as soon as you see the proud, you humiliate them.
29. Lord, you are my lamp. You, Lord, turn the darkness around me into light.
30. With your help I can defeat an army. If my God is with me, I can climb over enemy walls.
31. God’s way is perfect. The Lord’S promise always proves to be true. He protects those who trust in him.
32. There is no God except the Lord. There is no Rock except our God.
33. God is my strong fortress. He clears the path I need to take.
34. He makes my feet as steady as those of a deer. Even on steep mountains he keeps me from falling.
35. He trains me for war so that my arms can bend the most powerful bow.
36. Lord, you have given me your shield to protect me. It is your help that has made me great.
37. You cleared a path for my feet so that I could walk without stumbling.
38. I chased my enemies and defeated them. I did not stop until they were destroyed.
39. I destroyed my enemies. I struck them down. They did not get up again. They fell under my feet.
40. Lord, you made me strong in battle. You made my enemies fall before me.
