36 You provide a broad path for my feet,

so that my ankles do not give way.

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them;

I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

38 I crushed them so that they could not rise;

they fell beneath my feet.

39 You armed me with strength for battle;

you humbled my adversaries before me.

40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,

and I destroyed my foes.

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

to the Lord, but he did not answer.

42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;

I trampled them like mud in the streets.

36 You gave a wide place for my steps under me,

and my feet did not slip.

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them,

and did not turn back till they were consumed.

38 I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;

they fell under my feet.

39 For you equipped me with strength for the battle;

you made those who rise against me sink under me.

40 You made my enemies turn their backs to me,

and those who hated me I destroyed.

41 They cried for help, but there was none to save;

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

42 I beat them fine as dust before the wind;

I cast them out like the mire of the streets.

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,

That my feet did not slip.

37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them:

Neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:

They are fallen under my feet.

39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:

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

40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies;

That I might destroy them that hate me.

41 They cried, but there was none to save them:

Even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:

I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

36 You have made a wide path for my feet

to keep them from slipping.

37 I chased my enemies and caught them;

I did not stop until they were conquered.

38 I struck them down so they could not get up;

they fell beneath my feet.

39 You have armed me with strength for the battle;

you have subdued my enemies under my feet.

40 You placed my foot on their necks.

I have destroyed all who hated me.

41 They called for help, but no one came to their rescue.

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

42 I ground them as fine as dust in the wind.

I swept them into the gutter like dirt.

36 You enlarged my path under me,

So my feet did not slip.

37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;

Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

38 I have wounded them,

So that they could not rise;

They have fallen under my feet.

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

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

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

So that I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried out, but there was none to save;

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

42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;

I cast them out like dirt in the streets.

36 You give me a better way to live,

so I live as you want me to.

37 I chased my enemies and caught them.

I did not quit until they were destroyed.

38 I crushed them so they couldn’t rise up again.

They fell beneath my feet.

39 You gave me strength in battle.

You made my enemies bow before me.

40 You made my enemies turn back,

and I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They called for help,

but no one came to save them.

They called to the Lord,

but he did not answer them.

42 I beat my enemies into pieces, like dust in the wind.

I poured them out like mud in the streets.

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,

And my feet have not slipped.

37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them;

Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.

38 I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise:

They shall fall under my feet.

39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:

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

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

That I might cut off them that hate me.

41 They cried, but there was none to save;

Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;

I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

36 Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered. 37 I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed. 38 I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet. 39 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me. 40 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed. 41 They cried, and there was none to save; —unto Jehovah, and he answered them not. 42 And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

36 You make a wide path for me to walk on 

so that my feet do not slip. 

37 I chased my enemies and caught up with them. 

I did not return until I had ended their lives. 

38 I wounded them so badly that they were unable to get up. 

They fell under my feet. 

39 You armed me with strength for battle. 

You made my opponents bow at my feet. 

40 You made my enemies turn their backs to me, 

and I destroyed those who hated me. 

41 They cried out for help, but there was no one to save them. 

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

42 I beat them into a powder as fine as the dust blown by the wind. 

I threw them out as though they were dirt on the streets. 

36 You widen a place beneath me for my steps,

and my ankles do not give way.

37 I pursue my enemies and overtake them;

I do not turn back until they are wiped out.

38 I crush them, and they cannot get up;

they fall beneath my feet.

39 You have clothed me with strength for battle;

You subdue my adversaries beneath me.

40 You have made my enemies retreat before me;

I annihilate those who hate me.

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

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

42 I pulverize them like dust before the wind;

I trample them like mud in the streets.

36 You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,

and my feet did not slip.

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them;

and did not turn back until they were consumed.

38 I struck them down, so that they were not able to rise;

they fell under my feet.

39 For you girded me with strength for the battle;

you made my assailants sink under me.

40 You made my enemies turn their backs to me,

and those who hated me I destroyed.

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them;

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

42 I beat them fine, like dust before the wind;

I cast them out like the mire of the streets.

36 You give me a wide path to walk on

so that I don’t twist my ankles.

37 I chased my enemies and caught them.

I didn’t turn back until they were destroyed.

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

They fell under my feet.

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

You made my enemies bow down at my feet.

40 You made them turn their backs and run away.

So I destroyed my enemies.

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

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

42 I beat them as fine as dust blown by the wind.

I poured them out like mud in the streets.

36 You enlarge my steps under me,

And my feet have not slipped.

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them,

And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

38 I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise;

They fell under my feet.

39 For You have girded me with strength for battle;

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

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

And I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried for help, but there was none to save,

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

42 Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind;

I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.
