2 Samuel 22:38-46

38I have pursuedH7291 mine enemiesH341, and destroyedH8045 them; and turned not againH7725 until I had consumedH3615 them.

39And I have consumedH3615 them, and woundedH4272 them, that they could not ariseH6965: yea, they are fallenH5307 under my feetH7272.

40For thou hast girdedH247 me with strengthH2428 to battleH4421: them that rose upH6965 against me hast thou subduedH3766 under me.1

41Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341, that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.

42They lookedH8159, but there was none to saveH3467; even unto YhwhH3068, but he answeredH6030 them not.

43Then did I beatH7833 them as small as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, I did stampH1854 them as the mireH2916 of the streetH2351, and did spread them abroadH7554.

44Thou also hast deliveredH6403 me from the strivingsH7379 of my peopleH5971, thou hast keptH8104 me to be headH7218 of the heathenH1471: a peopleH5971 which I knewH3045 not shall serveH5647 me.

45StrangersH5236H1121 shall submitH3584 themselves unto me: as soon as they hearH241H8085, they shall be obedientH8085 unto me.23

46StrangersH5236H1121 shall fade awayH5034, and they shall be afraidH2296 out of their close placesH4526.
