26. With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27. With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.
28. And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29. For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will enlighten my darkness.
30. For by you I can run against a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32. For who is God, except the LORD? and who is a rock, except our God?
33. God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34. He makes my feet like hinds' feet: and sets me upon my high places.
35. He teaches my hands to make war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36. You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
37. You have enlarged my path under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38. I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
