2 Samuel 22:38-46

38I ran after my enemies and I destroyed them. I did not turn back until I had killed them.

39I destroyed them completely. I knocked them down to the ground. They could not get up again. They fell under my feet.

40You have made me strong to fight battles so that I win against my enemies.

41You caused my enemies to turn their backs, and they ran away from me. I destroyed those who hate me.

42They called out for help, but nobody was there to save them. They called to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

43I beat them until they became like dust. I walked over them, like dirt that lies on the streets.

44You have saved me when my people were attacking me. You have made me a ruler of other nations. People that I did not know before now serve me as their ruler.

45Foreign people cannot stand against me, because they are afraid. When they hear about me, they choose to obey me.

46They are not brave enough to fight me. They shake with fear as they leave their strong cities.
