26
With the merciful thou art good,
and with the perfect thou art upright.
27
With the pure thou art pure, and with the perverse thou art an adversary.
28
Thou wilt save the poor
in spirit; but thine eyes
are upon the haughty
that thou may bring
them down.
29
For thou
art my lamp, O LORD, and the LORD gives light unto my darkness.
30
For in thee I have run through a troop; with my God I have gone over the walls.
31
As for God, his way
is perfect; the word of the LORD
is purified; he
is a shield to all those that trust in him.
32
For what God
is there except the LORD? Or who
is a Strong One, except our God?
33
God
is he who strengthens me with virtue; he who clears my way;
34
he who makes my feet like hinds’
feet, and he who sets me upon my high places;
35
he who trains my hands for war and
causes my arms to break the bow of bronze.
36
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy saving health, and thy meekness has multiplied me.
