Psalms 18:27-38 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

27. For thou wilt the afflicted savein grief that low do lie:But wilt bring down the countenanceof them whose looks are high.

28. The Lord will light my candle so,that it shall shine full bright:The Lord my God will also makemy darkness to be light.

29. By thee through troops of men I break,and them discomfit all;And, by my God assisting me,I overleap a wall.

30. As for God, perfect is his way:the Lord his word is try'd;He is a buckler to all thosewho do in him confide.

31. Who but the Lord is God? but hewho is a rock and stay?

32. 'Tis God that girdeth me with strength,and perfect makes my way.

33. He made my feet swift as the hinds,set me on my high places.

34. Mine hands to war he taught, mine armsbrake bows of steel in pieces.

35. The shield of thy salvationthou didst on me bestow:Thy right hand held me up, and greatthy kindness made me grow.

36. And in my way my steps thou hastenlarged under me,That I go safely, and my feetare kept from sliding free.

37. Mine en'mies I pursued have,and did them overtake;Nor did I turn again till Ian end of them did make.

38. I wounded them, they could not rise;they at my feet did fall.
