27. With the pure you will show yourself pure.With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
28. You will save the afflicted people,But your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.
29. For you are my lamp, Lord.The Lord will light up my darkness.
30. For by you, I run against a troop.By my God, I leap over a wall.
31. As for God, his way is perfect.the Lord’s word is tested.He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
32. For who is God, besides the Lord?Who is a rock, besides our God?
33. God is my strong fortress.He makes my way perfect.
34. He makes his feet like hinds’ feet,and sets me on my high places.
35. He teaches my hands to war,so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
36. You have also given me the shield of your salvation.Your gentleness has made me great.
37. You have enlarged my steps under me.My feet have not slipped.
38. I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them.I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.
39. I have consumed them,and struck them through,so that they can’t arise.Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
40. For you have armed me with strength for the battle.You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41. You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,that I might cut off those who hate me.
42. They looked, but there was no one to save;even to the Lord, but he didn’t answer them.
43. Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth.I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
44. You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people.You have kept me to be the head of the nations.A people whom I have not known will serve me.
