2 Samuel 22:31–41

31 As for God, oHis way is perfect;

pThe word of the Lord is proven;

He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

32 “For qwho is God, except the Lord?

And who is a rock, except our God?

33 8God is my rstrength and power,

And He smakes 9my way tperfect.

34 He makes 1my feet ulike the feet of deer,

And vsets me on my high places.

35 He teaches my hands 2to make war,

So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;

Your gentleness has made me great.

37 You wenlarged my path under me;

So my feet did not slip.

38 “I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them;

Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

39 And I have destroyed them and wounded them,

So that they could not rise;

They have fallen xunder my feet.

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

You have 3subdued under me zthose who rose against me.

41 You have also 4given me the anecks of my enemies,

So that I destroyed those who hated me.
