32 God—he clothes me with strengthx

and makes my way perfect.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deery

and sets me securely on the heights.C,z

34 He trains my hands for war;aa

my arms can bend a bow of bronze.ab

35 You have given me the shield of your salvation;

your right hand upholds me,ac

and your humility exalts me.

36 You make a spacious place beneath me for my steps,ad

and my ankles do not give way.ae

37 I pursue my enemies and overtake them;

I do not turn back until they are wiped out.af

38 I crush them, and they cannot get up;

they fall beneath my feet.ag

39 You have clothed me with strength for battle;ah

you subdue my adversaries beneath me.ai

40 You have made my enemies retreat before me;D,aj

I annihilate those who hate me.ak

41 They cry for help, but there is no one to save themal—

they cry to the Lord, but he does not answer them.am

42 I pulverize them like dust before the wind;an

I trample themE like mud in the streets.ao

43 You have freed me from the feuds among the people;

you have appointed me the head of nations;ap

a people I had not known serve me.aq

44 Foreigners submit to me cringing;

as soon as they hear they obey me.a

45 Foreigners lose heart

and come trembling from their fortifications.b

46 The Lord lives—blessed be my rock!

The God of my salvation is exalted.c

47 God—he grants me vengeanced

and subdues peoples under me.e

48 He frees me from my enemies.

You exalt me above my adversaries;

you rescue me from violent men.f

49 Therefore I will give thanks to you among the nations, Lord;

I will sing praises about your name.g

50 He gives great victories to his king;h

he shows loyalty to his anointed,

to David and his descendants forever.i
