2 Samuel 22:29-46

29For You are my lamp, Adonai. Adonai shines in my darkness.

30For with You I rush on a troop, with my God I can leap over a wall.

31As for God, His way is perfect. The word of Adonai is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

32For who is God, besides Adonai? and who is a Rock, besides our God?

33God is my strong fortress and He keeps my way blameless.

34He makes my legs like a deer and sets me on my heights.

35Who trains my hands for battle, so my arms can bend a bronze bow.

36You gave me Your shield of salvation. and Your answering has made me great.

37You broaden my steps beneath me, so my feet have not slipped.

38I pursue my enemies and destroy them. I will not return till they are consumed.

39I consumed them and crushed them till they cannot rise; yes, they fall beneath my feet.

40You girded me with strength for battle. You made those rising up against me bow down before me.

41You also made my enemies turn their backs to me. I cut off those who hate me.

42They looked, but there was none to save —to Adonai, but He did not answer them.

43Then I beat them as the dust of the earth, I stamped and crushed them like mud of the streets.

44You free me from strifes of my people. You kept me as head of the nations— people I did not know are serving me.

45Children of foreigners cringe before me. As soon as they hear, they obey me.

46Children of foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their hideouts.
