2 Samuel 22:29-46

29For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

30For by thee I run upon a troop: by my God do I leap over a wall.

31As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

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

33God is my strong fortress: and he guideth the perfect in his way.

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

35He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

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

37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

39And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

41Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.

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

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

44Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

45The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

46The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
