2 Samuel 22:29-46

29For thou art my lamp, O Yhwh: And Yhwh will lighten my darkness.1

30For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.2

31As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Yhwh is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.3

32For who is God, save Yhwh? and who is a rock, save our God?

33God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.4

34He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.5

35He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.6

36Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.7

37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.8

38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

39And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.9

41Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto Yhwh, but he answered them not.

43Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

45Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.1011

46Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
