29. Indeed, you are my lamp, Lord.The Lord illumines the darkness around me.
30. Indeed,with your help I can charge against an army;by my God’s power I can jump over a wall.
31. The one true God acts in a faithful manner;the Lord’s promise is reliable;he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.
32. Indeed, who is God besides the Lord?Who is a protector besides our God?
33. The one true God is my mighty refuge;he removes the obstacles in my way.
34. He gives me the agility of a deer;he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.
35. He trains my hands for battle;my arms can bend even the strongest bow.
36. You give me your protective shield;your willingness to help enables me to prevail.
37. You widen my path; my feet do not slip.
38. I chase my enemies and destroy them;I do not turn back until I wipe them out.
39. I wipe them out and beat them to death;they cannot get up;they fall at my feet.
40. You give me strength for battle;you make my foes kneel before me.
41. You make my enemies retreat;I destroy those who hate me.
42. They cry out, but there is no one to help them;they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.
43. I grind them as fine as the dust of the ground;I crush them and stomp on them like clay in the streets.
44. You rescue me from a hostile army;you preserve me as a leader of nations;people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.
45. Foreigners are powerless before me;when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.
46. Foreigners lose their courage;they shake with fear as they leave their strongholds.
47. The Lord is alive!My protector is praiseworthy!The God who delivers me is exalted as king!
