  • Ps 18:32-50 : 32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the rock except our God? 33 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. 34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He causes me to stand on the heights. 35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 You have given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness has made me great. 37 You widen the path beneath me, so my feet do not slip. 38 I pursue my enemies and overtake them; I do not turn back until they are destroyed. 39 I crush them, and they cannot rise; they fall beneath my feet. 40 You arm me with strength for battle; You humble my adversaries beneath me. 41 You have made my enemies turn their backs in retreat, and I destroy those who hate me. 42 They cry for help, but there is no one to save them—to the LORD, but He does not answer. 43 I grind them as fine as dust before the wind; I pour them out like mud in the streets. 44 You deliver me from the strife of the people; You make me the head of nations; a people I had not known serves me. 45 At the mere hearing of my voice, they obey me; foreigners submit to me grudgingly. 46 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling out of their strongholds. 47 The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Exalted be the God of my salvation! 48 The God who avenges me and subdues peoples under me, 49 who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above those who rise against me; You rescue me from the violent man. 50 Therefore I will praise You, LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
  • Ps 27:3 : 3 Though an army encamps against me, my heart will not be afraid; though war rises against me, in this I will be confident.
