2 Samuel 22:37-47 Modern English Version (MEV)

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,
