and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.

A Psalm

Psalm 18

Part II Et retribuet mihi

The Lord rewarded me because of my righteous dealing; because my hands were clean he rewarded me;

For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not offended against my God;

For all his judgments are before my eyes, and his decrees I have not put away from me;

For I have been blameless with him and have kept myself from iniquity;

Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteous dealing, because of the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

With the faithful you show yourself faithful, O God; with the forthright you show yourself forthright.

With the pure you show yourself pure, but with the crooked you are wily.

You will save a lowly people, but you will humble the haughty eyes.

You, O Lord, are my lamp; my God, you make my darkness bright.

With you I will break down an enclosure; with the help of my God I will scale any wall.

As for God, his ways are perfect; the words of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a shield to all who trust in him.

For who is God, but the Lord? who is the Rock, except our God?

It is God who girds me about with strength and makes my way secure.

He makes me sure-footed like a deer and lets me stand firm on the heights.

He trains my hands for battle and my arms for bending even a bow of bronze.

You have given me your shield of victory; your right hand also sustains me; your loving care makes me great.

You lengthen my stride beneath me, and my ankles do not give way.

I pursue my enemies and overtake them; I will not turn back till I have destroyed them.

I strike them down, and they cannot rise; they fall defeated at my feet.

You have girded me with strength for the battle; you have cast down my adversaries beneath me; you have put my enemies to flight.

I destroy those who hate me; they cry out, but there is none to help them; they cry to the Lord, but he does not answer.

I beat them small like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets.

You deliver me from the strife of the peoples; you put me at the head of the nations.

A people I have not known shall serve me; no sooner shall they hear than they shall obey me; strangers will cringe before me.

The foreign peoples will lose heart; they shall come trembling out of their strongholds.

The Lord lives! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted is the
