To GOD who girds us with strength and makes our way blameless - I pray, Lord, make his feet like hinds feet, and set him upon his high places. Train his hands for battle, so that his arms can bend a bow of bronze. Give to him the shield of Your salvation, and let Your right hand uphold him; and Your gentleness make him great. Lord, enlarge his steps under him, and let his feet not slip from under him. Let him pursue his enemies and overtake them, and not turn back until they are consumed. For You, Lord, gird him for battle; You, Lord, subdue under him those who rose up against him. For the Lord has made him the head and not the tail. The Lord has made him the top and not beneath. Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow him all the days of his life and he shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation... Amen
Psalm 18
