29. Lord, you are my lamp. You bring light into my darkness.
30. With your help I can attack a troop of soldiers. With the help of my God I can climb over a wall.
31. "God's way is perfect. The word of the Lord doesn't have any flaws. He is like a shield to all who go to him for safety.
32. Who is God except the Lord? Who is the Rock except our God?
33. God gives me strength for the battle. He makes my way perfect.
34. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer. He helps me stand on the highest places.
35. He trains my hands to fight every battle. My arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36. Lord, you are like a shield that keeps me safe. You help me win the battle. You bend down to make me great.
37. You give me a wide path to walk in so that I don't twist my ankles.
38. "I chased my enemies and crushed them. I didn't turn back until they were destroyed.
39. I crushed them completely so that they couldn't get up. They fell under my feet.
40. Lord, you gave me strength to fight the battle. You made my enemies bow down at my feet.
41. You made them turn their backs and run away. So I destroyed my enemies.
42. They cried out for help. But there was no one to save them. They called out to you. But you didn't answer them.
43. I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth. I pounded them and walked on them like mud in the streets.
44. "You saved me when my own people attacked me. You have kept me as the ruler over nations. People I didn't know serve me now.
