How to Read the Bible

28 For thou hast saved the oppressed, and hast humbled the eyes of the haughty.

29 Thou kindest my lamp, O Lord; My God enlightens my darkness.

30 With thee I smite the army, with my God I ascend the wall.

46 The foreigners turn pale and tremble in their fortifications.

47 As the Lord lives, and blessed is my defender! May the God of my salvation be exalted;

48 God, who avenges me, and subdues the nations to me,
