30 As for God, His way is [a](A)blameless;
The (B)word of the Lord is refined;
He is a (C)shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31 For (D)who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a (E)rock, except our God,
32 The God who (F)encircles me with strength,
And [b]makes my way [c](G)blameless?
33 He (H)makes my feet like deer’s feet,
And (I)sets me up on my high places.
34 He (J)trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can (K)bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me (L)the shield of Your salvation,
And Your (M)right hand upholds me;
And (N)Your [d]gentleness makes me great.
