2 Samuel 22:29-46

29For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah;And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.30For by thee I run upon a troop;By my God do I leap over a wall.31As for God, his way is perfect:The word of Jehovah is tried;He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.32For who is God, save Jehovah?And who is a rock, save our God?33God is my strong fortress;And he guideth the perfect in his way.34He maketh his feet like hinds’ feet,And setteth me upon my high places.35He teacheth my hands to war,So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;And thy gentleness hath made me great.37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me;And my feet have not slipped.38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them;Neither did I turn again till they were consumed.39And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise:Yea, they are fallen under my feet.40For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle;Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.41Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,That I might cut off them that hate me.42They looked, but there was none to save;Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.43Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth,I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people;Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations:A people whom I have not known shall serve me.45The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me:As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.46The foreigners shall fade away,And shall come trembling out of their close places.
