Psalm 18:25-41 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

25. To the faithful you show yourself faithful,to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26. to the pure you show yourself pure,but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

27. You save the humblebut bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

28. You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;my God turns my darkness into light.

29. With your help I can advance against a troop;with my God I can scale a wall.

30. As for God, his way is perfect:the Lord’s word is flawless;he shields all who take refuge in him.

31. For who is God besides the Lord?And who is the Rock except our God?

32. It is God who arms me with strengthand keeps my way secure.

33. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;he causes me to stand on the heights.

34. He trains my hands for battle;my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35. You make your saving help my shield,and your right hand sustains me;your help has made me great.

36. You provide a broad path for my feet,so that my ankles do not give way.

37. I pursued my enemies and overtook them;I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

38. I crushed them so that they could not rise;they fell beneath my feet.

39. You armed me with strength for battle;you humbled my adversaries before me.

40. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,and I destroyed my foes.

41. They cried for help, but there was no one to save them –to the Lord, but he did not answer.
