2 Samuel 22:34-44 English Standard Version (ESV)

34. He made my feet like the feet of a deerand set me secure on the heights.

35. He trains my hands for war,so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36. You have given me the shield of your salvation,and your gentleness made me great.

37. You gave a wide place for my steps under me,and my feet did not slip;

38. I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,and did not turn back until they were consumed.

39. I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;they fell under my feet.

40. For you equipped me with strength for the battle;you made those who rise against me 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 none to save;they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

43. I beat them fine as the dust of the earth;I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.

44. “You delivered me from strife with my people;you kept me as the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
