2 Samuel 22:29-46

29For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness.

30For by thee I have run through a troop; By my 1God have I leaped over a wall.

31As for 2God, his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him.

32For who is 3God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our 4God?

335God is my strong fortress, And he maketh my way perfectly smooth.

34He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], And setteth me upon my high places.

35He teacheth my hands to war, And mine arms bend a bow of brass.

36And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

37Thou enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip.

38I pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them, And I turned not again till they were consumed.

39And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet.

40And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

41And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed.

42They looked, and there was none to save — Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.

43And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.

44And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me:

45Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me.

46Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places.
