New Testament

2 Samuel 22:33-47 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

33. It is God who arms me with strengthand keeps my way secure.

34. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;he causes me to stand on the heights.

35. He trains my hands for battle;my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36. You make your saving help my shield;your help has made me great.

37. You provide a broad path for my feet,so that my ankles do not give way.

38. ‘I pursued my enemies and crushed them;I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

39. I crushed them completely, and they could not rise;they fell beneath my feet.

40. You armed me with strength for battle;you humbled my adversaries before me.

41. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,and I destroyed my foes.

42. They cried for help, but there was no one to save them –to the Lord, but he did not answer.

43. I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.

44. ‘You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples;you have preserved me as the head of nations.People I did not know now serve me,

45.      foreigners cower before me;as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

46. They all lose heart;they come trembling from their strongholds.

47. ‘The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Saviour!
