2 Samuel 22:29-46

29“For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.

30For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.

31As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

32“For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?

33God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect.

34He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.

35He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36“You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.

37You enlarged my path under me; So my feet did not slip.

38“I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

39And I have destroyed them and wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.

40For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose against me.

41You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me.

42They looked, but there was none to save; Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

43Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trod them like dirt in the streets, And I spread them out.

44“You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me as the head of the nations. A people I have not known shall serve me.

45The foreigners submit to me; As soon as they hear, they obey me.

46The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.
