New Testament

2 Samuel 22:33-44 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

42. They will cry out, and there will be no one to save; to the Lord, and he will not heed them.

43. I will wipe them away like the dust of the earth. I will break them apart and crush them, like the mud of the streets.

44. You will save me from the contradictions of my people. You will preserve me to be the head of the Gentiles; a people I do not know shall serve me.
