2 Samuel 22:38-46

38I chase my enemies and destroy them; I do not turn back until I wipe them out.

39I wipe them out and beat them to death; they cannot get up; they fall at my feet.

40You give me strength for battle; you make my foes kneel before me.

41You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me.

42They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

43I grind them as fine as the dust of the ground; I crush them and stomp on them like clay in the streets.

44You rescue me from a hostile army; you preserve me as a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.

45Foreigners are powerless before me; when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.

46Foreigners lose their courage; they shake with fear as they leave their strongholds.
