Psalm 18:23-33 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
23
I have been blameless1 before him and have kept myself from sin.
24
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,2 according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25
To the faithful3 you show yourself faithful,4 to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26
to the pure5 you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.6
27
You save the humble7 but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.8
28
You, O LORD, keep my lamp9 burning; my God turns my darkness into light.10
29
With your help11 I can advance against a troopa; with my God I can scale a wall.
30
As for God, his way is perfect;12 the word of the LORD is flawless.13 He is a shield14 for all who take refuge15 in him.
31
For who is God besides the LORD?16 And who is the Rock17 except our God?
32
It is God who arms me with strength18 and makes my way perfect.19
33
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;20 he enables me to stand on the heights.21
