25 O Lord, you are faithful to those who are faithful to you;completely good to those who are perfect.
26 You are pure to those who are pure,but hostile to those who are wicked.
27 You save those who are humble,but you humble those who are proud.
28 O Lord, you give me light;you dispel my darkness.
29 You give me strength to attack my enemiesand power to overcome their defences.
30 This God — how perfect are his deeds!How dependable his words!He is like a shieldfor all who seek his protection.
31 The Lord alone is God;God alone is our defence.
