2 Samuel 22:39–43

39 I crushed them completely, and they could not rise;

they fell beneath my feet.

40 You armed me with strength for battle;

you humbled my adversaries before me.

41 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,

and I destroyed my foes.

42 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—

to the Lord, but he did not answer.

43 I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;

I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.

39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise:

Yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle:

Them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies,

That I might destroy them that hate me.

42 They looked, but there was none to save;

Even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

43 Then 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.

39 I consumed them;

I struck them down so they did not get up;

they fell beneath my feet.

40 You have armed me with strength for the battle;

you have subdued my enemies under my feet.

41 You placed my foot on their necks.

I have destroyed all who hated me.

42 They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue.

They even cried to the Lord, but he refused to answer.

43 I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth;

I trampled them in the gutter like dirt.

39 And I have destroyed them and wounded them,

So that they could not rise;

They have fallen under my feet.

40 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;

You have subdued under me those who rose against me.

41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,

So that I destroyed those who hated me.

42 They looked, but there was none to save;

Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

43 Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;

I trod them like dirt in the streets,

And I spread them out.

39 I destroyed and crushed them

so they couldn’t rise up again.

They fell beneath my feet.

40 You gave me strength in battle.

You made my enemies bow before me.

41 You made my enemies turn back,

and I destroyed those who hated me.

42 They called for help,

but no one came to save them.

They called to the Lord,

but he did not answer them.

43 I beat my enemies into pieces,

like dust on the ground.

I poured them out and walked on them

like mud in the streets.

39 And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise:

Yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle;

Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

41 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,

That I might cut off them that hate me.

42 They looked, but there was none to save;

Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

43 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth,

I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

39 And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet. 40 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me. 41 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed. 42 They looked, and there was none to save—Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not. 43 And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.

39 I ended their lives by shattering them. 

They were unable to get up. 

They fell under my feet. 

40 You armed me with strength for battle. 

You made my opponents bow at my feet. 

41 You made my enemies turn their backs to me, 

and I destroyed those who hated me. 

42 They looked, but there was no one to save them. 

They looked to the Lord, but he did not answer them. 

43 I beat them into a powder as fine as the dust on the ground. 

I crushed them and stomped on them like the dirt on the streets. 

39 I wipe them out and crush them,

and they do not rise;

they fall beneath my feet.

40 You have clothed me with strength for battle;

You subdue my adversaries beneath me.

41 You have made my enemies retreat before me;

I annihilate those who hate me.

42 They look, but there is no one to save them—

they look to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

43 I pulverize them like dust of the earth;

I crush them and trample them like mud in the streets.

39 I consumed them; I struck them down so that they did not rise;

they fell under my feet.

40 For you girded me with strength for the battle;

you made my assailants sink under me.

41 You made my enemies turn their backs to me,

those who hated me, and I destroyed them.

42 They looked, but there was no one to save them;

they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

43 I beat them fine like the dust of the earth;

I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.

39 I wiped them out and I smashed them;

they did not get up; they fell under my feet.

40 You have girded me with physical strength for the battle;

you caused those who rose up against me to kneel under me.

41 My enemies you cause to retreat from me;

I destroy those who hate me.

42 They looked out, but there was no deliverer,

even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

43 I beat them fine, like the dust of the earth;

like the mire of the streets, I crushed them, I stamped them down.

39 I crushed them completely so that they couldn’t get up.

They fell under my feet.

40 Lord, you gave me strength to fight the battle.

You made my enemies bow down at my feet.

41 You made them turn their backs and run away.

So I destroyed my enemies.

42 They cried out for help. But there was no one to save them.

They called out to you. But you didn’t answer them.

43 I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth.

I pounded them and walked on them like mud in the streets.

39 “And I have devoured them and shattered them, so that they did not rise;

And they fell under my feet.

40 “For You have girded me with strength for battle;

You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

41 “You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,

And I destroyed those who hated me.

42 “They looked, but there was none to save;

Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

43 “Then I pulverized them as the dust of the earth;

I crushed and stamped them as the mire of the streets.
