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.
47. The Lord lives; blessed be my rock.May the God of the rock of my salvation be exalted,
48. the God who gave me retributionand brought down peoples under me,
49. who brought me out from my enemies.You exalted me above those who rose up against me;You delivered me from violent ones.
