2 Samuel 22:38-46

38I pursued my enemies and destroyed them, and did not turn back until they were consumed.

39I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise; they fell under my feet.

40For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.

41You made my enemies turn their backs to me, those who hated me, and I destroyed them.

42They looked, but there was none to save; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

43I beat them fine as the dust of the earth; I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.

44"You delivered me from strife with my people; you kept me as the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.

45Foreigners came cringing to me; as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

46Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses.
