New Testament

2 Samuel 22:33-51 American Standard Version (ASV)

33. God is my strong fortress; And he guideth the perfect in his way.

34. He maketh his feet like hinds’ feet, And setteth me upon my high places.

35. He teacheth my hands to war, So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

36. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great.

37. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; And my feet have not slipped.

38. I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

39. And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise: Yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

41. Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

42. They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

43. Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

44. Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

45. The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

46. The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.

47. Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

48. Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And that bringeth down peoples under me,

49. And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

50. Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

51. Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
