28 Lord, you make my lamp burn brightly.
    My God is my light in the dark.
29 You make me strong,
    so that I can attack a whole army!
With the help of my God,
    I can climb over any high wall.[a]

30 God's way is perfect.
    Yes, the Lord's promises are always true.
He keeps safe everyone who goes to him for help,
    like a shield that keeps a soldier safe.
