Verse 30
Psalm 18:30
First … in the original language – Hebrew:
האל תמים דרכו אמרת־יהוה צרופה מגן הוא לכל החסים בו׃
Next, the English translation that I chose making the Psalm “mine”:
As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless. (niv)
He is a shield to all who trust in Him. (nkjv)
