From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.

He sets the lowly on high, so that mourners are lifted to safety.

Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.

But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.

“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.

But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination.

The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is set securely on high.

The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

The LORD has raised up the foes of Rezin against him and joined his enemies together.

…and on that day you will say: “Give praise to the LORD; proclaim His name! Make His works known among the peoples; declare that His name is exalted.

For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.

…this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly—in an instant!

The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
