2 Samuel 22:40–42

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
