New Testament

2 Samuel 22:30-41 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. For in you, I will run girded. In my God, I will leap over the wall.

31. God, his way is immaculate; the eloquence of the Lord is an exacting fire. He is the shield of all who hope in him.

32. Who is God except the Lord? And who is strong except our God?

33. God, he has girded me with fortitude, and he has made my way perfect:

34. making my feet like the feet of the stag, and stationing me upon my exalted places,

35. teaching my hands to do battle, and making my arms like a bow of brass.

36. You have given me the shield of your salvation. And your mildness has multiplied me.

37. You will enlarge my steps under me, and my ankles will not fail.

38. I will pursue my enemies, and crush them. And I will not turn back, until I consume them.

39. I will consume them and break them apart, so that they cannot rise up; they will fall under my feet.

40. You have girded me with strength for the battle. Those who resisted me, you have bent down under me.

41. You have caused my enemies to turn their back to me; they have hatred for me, and I shall destroy them.
