With the merciful, you are merciful; with the champion of purity, you are pure;
27

"For you, ADONAI, are my lamp; ADONAI lights up my darkness.
30
With you I can run through a whole troop of men, with my God I can leap a wall.
31
"As for God, his way is perfect, the word of ADONAI has been tested by fire; he shields all who take refuge in him.
32
For who is God but ADONAI, and who is a Rock but our God?
33
"God is my strength and protection; he makes my way go straight.
34
He makes me swift and sure-footed as a deer and enables me to stand on my high places.
35
He trains my hands for war until my arms can bend a bow of bronze;
36
You give me your shield, which is salvation; your answers make me great.
