Psalms 18:29-45 New Living Translation (NLT)

29. In your strength I can crush an army;with my God I can scale any wall.

30. God’s way is perfect.All the lord’s promises prove true.He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

31. For who is God except the lord?Who but our God is a solid rock?

32. God arms me with strength,and he makes my way perfect.

33. He makes me as surefooted as a deer,enabling me to stand on mountain heights.

34. He trains my hands for battle;he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.

35. You have given me your shield of victory.Your right hand supports me;your help has made me great.

36. You have made a wide path for my feetto keep them from slipping.

37. I chased my enemies and caught them;I did not stop until they were conquered.

38. I struck them down so they could not get up;they fell beneath my feet.

39. You have armed me with strength for the battle;you have subdued my enemies under my feet.

40. You placed my foot on their necks.I have destroyed all who hated me.

41. They called for help, but no one came to their rescue.They even cried to the lord, but he refused to answer.

42. I ground them as fine as dust in the wind.I swept them into the gutter like dirt.

43. You gave me victory over my accusers.You appointed me ruler over nations;people I don’t even know now serve me.

44. As soon as they hear of me, they submit;foreign nations cringe before me.

45. They all lose their courageand come trembling from their strongholds.
