Psalms 18:29
27 For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
28 For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
