Psalms 18:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:29

27 For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down ^ahaughty looks.

28 ^aFor You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

29 For by You I can¹ run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.

30 As for God, ^aHis way is perfect;
^bThe word of the Lord is¹ proven;
He is a shield ^cto all who trust in Him.

31 ^aFor who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?

32 It is God who ^aarms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.

33 ^aHe makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And ^bsets me on my high places.

34 ^aHe teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.

36 You enlarged my path under me,
^aSo my feet did not slip.
