Psalms 18:28 Context
26With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shew thy selfe froward. 27For thou wilt saue the afflicted people: but wilt bring downe high lookes. 28For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkenesse. 29For by thee I haue run through a troupe? and by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall. 30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
