Psalm 18:33–50

33 He amakes my feet like hinds’ feet,

And bsets me upon my high places.

34 He atrains my hands for battle,

So that my arms can bbend a bow of bronze.

35 You have also given me athe shield of Your salvation,

And Your bright hand upholds me;

And cYour 1gentleness makes me great.

36 You aenlarge my steps under me,

And my 1bfeet have not slipped.

37 I apursued my enemies and overtook them,

And I did not turn back buntil they were consumed.

38 I shattered them, so that they were anot able to rise;

They fell bunder my feet.

39 For You have agirded me with strength for battle;

You have 1bsubdued under me those who rose up against me.

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

And I 1bdestroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried for help, but there was anone to save,

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

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

I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.

43 You have delivered me from the acontentions of the people;

You have placed me as bhead of the nations;

A cpeople whom I have not known serve me.

44 As soon as they hear, they obey me;

Foreigners 1asubmit to me.

45 Foreigners afade away,

And bcome trembling out of their 1fortresses.

46 The Lord alives, and blessed be bmy rock;

And exalted be cthe God of my salvation,

47 The God who aexecutes vengeance for me,

And bsubdues peoples under me.

48 He adelivers me from my enemies;

Surely You blift me above those who rise up against me;

You rescue me from the cviolent man.

49 Therefore I will agive thanks to You among the nations, O Lord,

And I will bsing praises to Your name.

50 He gives great 1adeliverance to His king,

And shows lovingkindness to bHis anointed,

To David and chis 2descendants forever.
