31. As for God, His way is perfect;the word of the Lord is proven;He is a shieldfor all who take refuge in Him.
32. For who is God except the Lord?And who is a rock except our God?
33. God is my strong fortress,and He sets the blameless on His way.
34. He makes my feet like hinds’ feet;He sets me on my high places.
35. He trains my hand for battle,so that my arm may bend a bow of bronze.
36. You have given me a shield of Your salvation,and Your humility has made me great.
37. You widen my stride under me,and my feet do stagger.
38. I pursued my enemies and destroyed them;I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39. I consumed them and shattered them so that they did not rise;they fell under my feet.
40. You girded me with strength for the battle;You subjugated under me those who rose up against me.
41. You caused my enemies to retreat from me;I destroyed those who hated me.
42. They looked, but there was no one to save them,to the Lord, but He did not respond.
43. I crushed them like the dust of the land,like the mud of the streets, I ground them and stamped them down.
44. You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people;You have kept me as the head of the nations.A people whom I have not known will serve me.
45. Foreigners submit to me, cringing;as soon as they hear, they obey me.
46. Foreigners lose heart;they gird themselves as they leave their fortresses.
