By my God I can leap over a wall.

Psalm 18:29

Leaping up the lame man stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

Acts 3:8

Psalm 18 (English Standard Version)

26 with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
27 For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
28 For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
29 For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30 This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?—
32 the God who equipped me with strength
and made my way blameless.

8 And leaping up he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

10 and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
