2 Samuel 22:29-46
29ForH3588 YouH859, O LORDH3068, are my lampH5216; the LORDH3068 lights upH5050 my darknessH2822.30ForH3588 in You I can chargeH7323 an armyH1416; with my GodH430 I can scaleH1801 a wallH7791.31As for GodH410, His wayH1870 is perfectH8549; the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 is flawlessH6884. HeH1931 is a shieldH4043 to allH3605 who take refugeH2620 in Him.
32ForH3588 whoH4310 is GodH410 besidesH1107 the LORDH3068?And whoH4310 is the RockH6697 exceptH1107 our GodH430?33GodH410 is my strongH2428 fortressH4581,and He makesH5425 my wayH1870 clearH8549.34He makesH7737 my feetH7272 like those of a deerH355and stations meH5975 uponH5921 the heightsH1116.35He trainsH3925 my handsH3027 for battleH4421;my armsH2220 can bendH5181 a bowH7198 of bronzeH5154.
36You have givenH5414 me Your shieldH4043 of salvationH3468,and Your gentlenessH6038 exalts meH7235.137You broadenH7337 the pathH6806 beneath meH8478so that my anklesH7166 do notH3808 give wayH4571.38I pursuedH7291 my enemiesH341 and destroyed themH8045;I did notH3808 turn backH7725 untilH5704 they were consumedH3615.39I devouredH3615 and crushed themH4272 so they could notH3808 riseH6965;they have fallenH5307 underH8478 my feetH7272.
40You have armed meH247 with strengthH2428 for battleH4421;You have subduedH3766 my foesH6965 beneath meH8478.41You have madeH5414 my enemiesH341 retreatH6203 before me;I destroyedH6789 those who hated meH8130.42They lookedH8159, but there was no oneH369 to save themH3467—toH413 the LORDH3068, but He did notH3808 answerH6030.43I ground themH7833 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776;I crushedH1854 and trampled themH7554 like mudH2916 in the streetsH2351.
44You have delivered meH6403 from the strifeH7379 of my peopleH5971;You have preserved meH8104 as the headH7218 of nationsH1471;a peopleH5971 I had notH3808 knownH3045 shall serve meH5647.45ForeignersH1121H5236 cowerH3584 before me;when they hear meH8085H241, they obeyH8085 me.46ForeignersH1121H5236 lose heartH5034and come tremblingH22962 from their strongholdsH4526.
