35. The shield of thy salvationthou didst on me bestow:Thy right hand held me up, and greatthy kindness made me grow.
36. And in my way my steps thou hastenlarged under me,That I go safely, and my feetare kept from sliding free.
37. Mine en'mies I pursued have,and did them overtake;Nor did I turn again till Ian end of them did make.
38. I wounded them, they could not rise;they at my feet did fall.
39. Thou girdedst me with strength for war;my foes thou brought'st down all:
40. And thou hast giv'n to me the necksof all mine enemies;That I might them destroy and slay,who did against me rise.
