33. Only God! My mighty fortress,who makes my way perfect,
34. who makes my step as sure as the deer’s,who lets me stand securely on the heights,
35. who trains my hands for warso my arms can bend a bronze bow.
36. You’ve given me the shield of your salvation;your help has made me great.
37. You’ve let me walk fast and safe,without even twisting an ankle.
38. I chased my enemies and destroyed them!I didn’t come home until I finished them off.
39. I ate them up! I struck them down!They couldn’t get up;they fell under my feet.
40. You equipped me with strength for war;you brought my adversaries down underneath me.
41. You made my enemies turn tail from me;I destroyed my foes.
42. They looked around, but there was no one to save them.They looked to the Lord, but he wouldn’t answer them.
43. I crushed them like dust on the ground;I stomped on them, trampled them like mud dumped in the streets.
44. You delivered me from struggles with many people;you appointed me the leader of many nations.Strangers come to serve me.
45. Foreigners grovel before me;after hearing about me, they obey me.
