[verse 30] As for the Lord, his way is pure, the word of God is tri'd: He is a buckler safe and sure to all that can confide. [verse 31] For who except the Lord alone, a God esteem'd may be? And who a mighty rock but one; and our Jehovah's he? [verse 32] 'Tis God that by his power and might strongly girds up my loins: And makes me take my way aright, to perfect my designs. [verse 33] He makes my feet to be as swift as are the hindes in pace: And I must count it as his gift, that gains me each high place. [verse 34] He taught my hands all Warlike skill, my fingers how to fight: So that a bow, a bow of steel is broken by my might. [verse 35] Thou gav'st me thy salvations shield, to arm me most compleat: And thy right hand hath me upheld, thy favour made me great. [verse 36] Thou hast enlarg'd with liberty my stepping place so wide, That both my feet stood stedfastly, and did not slip aside. [verse 37] I overtook my foes that fled, for I pursu'd apace: Nor till they were extinguished, did I forsake the chase.

[verse 38] Mine enemies I did so greet, with blows not dealt in vain; That down they fell beneath my feet, and could not rise again.
