Psalms 18:23-39 Modern English Version (MEV)

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

24. Therefore the Lord has repaid me according to my righteousness,according to the cleanness of my hands in His view.

25. With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;with the blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

26. with the pure You will show Yourself pure;and with the crooked You will show Yourself crooked.

27. For You will save the afflicted people,but will bring down prideful eyes.

28. For You will cause my lamp to shine;the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

29. For by You I can run through a troop,and by my God I can leap a wall.

30. As for God, His way has integrity;the word of the Lord is proven;He is a shieldto all those who take refuge in Him.

31. For who is God except the Lord? Or who is a rock besides our God?

32. It is God who clothes me with strength,and gives my way integrity.

33. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,and causes me to stand on my high places.

34. He trains my hands for war,so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

35. You have 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 lengthened my stride under me,so that my feet did not slip.

37. I pursued my enemies and overtook them;I did not return until they were destroyed.

38. I wounded them, and they were not able to rise;they are fallen under my feet.

39. For You clothed me with strength for the battle;You subdued under me those who rose up against me.
