Psalms 18:19-39 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

19. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

21. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22. For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

23. I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

24. Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25. With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;

26. With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.

27. For you will save the humble people; but will bring down haughty looks.

28. For you will light my lamp: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

29. For by you I have advanced against a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

30. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is proven: he is a shield to all those that trust in him.

31. For who is God except the LORD? or who is a rock except our God?

32. It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

33. He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.

34. He teaches my hands to make war, so that a bow of bronze is bent by my arms.

35. You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.

36. You have enlarged my path under me, that my feet did not slip.

37. I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

39. For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
