32. God arms me with strengthand makes my way perfect.
33. He makes my feet like those of a deerand gives me sure footing on high places.
34. He trains my hands for battleso that my arms can bend an ⌊archer’s⌋ bow of bronze.
35. You have given me the shield of your salvation.Your right hand supports me.Your gentleness makes me great.
36. You make a wide path for me to walk onso that my feet do not slip.
37. I chased my enemies and caught up with them.I did not return until I had ended their lives.
38. I wounded them so badly that they were unable to get up.They fell under my feet.
39. You armed me with strength for battle.You made my opponents bow at my feet.
40. You made my enemies turn their backs to me,and I destroyed those who hated me.
41. They cried out for help, but there was no one to save them.They cried out to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42. I beat them into a powder as fine as the dust blown by the wind.I threw them out as though they were dirt on the streets.
43. You rescued me from my conflicts with the people.You made me the leader of nations.A people I did not know will serve me:
44. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.Foreigners will cringe in front of me.
45. Foreigners will lose heart,and they will tremble when they come out of their fortifications.
46. The Lord lives!Thanks be to my rock!May God my Savior be honored.
