Psalms 18:17-35 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

17. He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.

18. They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

19. And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

20. Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

21. For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

22. For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.

23. And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

24. And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.

25. With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.

26. With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,

27. For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.

28. For Thou--Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.

29. For by Thee I run--a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.

30. God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him.

31. For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God?

32. God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way.

33. Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.

34. Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.

35. And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
