18:26 With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,
18:27 For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.
18:28 For Thou — Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
18:29 For by Thee I run — a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.
18:30 God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him.
18:31 For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God?
18:32 God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way.
18:33 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.
18:34 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.
18:35 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
18:36 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
18:37 I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
18:38 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
18:39 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.
18:40 As to mine enemies — Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me — I cut them off.
18:41 They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.
18:42 And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.
18:43 Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me.
18:44 At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
18:45 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
18:46 Jehovah liveth — and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
18:47 God — who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,
18:48 My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.
18:49 Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,
18:50 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!
19:1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. The heavens [are] recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse [is] declaring.
19:2 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice hath not been heard.
19:4 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,
