28 You, Lord, keep my lamp(A) burning;
    my God turns my darkness into light.(B)
29 With your help(C) I can advance against a troop[a];
    with my God I can scale a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect:(D)
    The Lord’s word is flawless;(E)
    he shields(F) all who take refuge(G) in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord?(H)
    And who is the Rock(I) except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength(J)
    and keeps my way secure.(K)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(L)
    he causes me to stand on the heights.(M)
34 He trains my hands for battle;(N)
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains(O) me;
    your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(P) for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.(Q)
