Study note
Setting — David addresses the LORD in a song of deliverance, positioned between declarations of God’s light and God’s perfect way.
The words — אָר֣וּץ ('a.Rutz) = I run and אֲדַלֶּג\־ ('a.da.leg-) = I leap over describe aggressive, forward movement.
The thread — Psalm 18:29 repeats the identical declaration, while Philippians 4:13 and Psalm 118:10 trace the same theme of divine empowerment against opposition.
Why it lands — The text states that military success and overcoming fortified obstacles depend entirely on God’s presence. It demands a reader acknowledge that capability comes from divine enablement rather than human strength.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.

King James Version
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
