34. He makes me as surefooted as a deer,enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
35. He trains my hands for battle;he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.
36. You have given me your shield of victory;your help has made me great.
37. You have made a wide path for my feetto keep them from slipping.
38. “I chased my enemies and destroyed them;I did not stop until they were conquered.
39. I consumed them;I struck them down so they did not get up;they fell beneath my feet.
40. You have armed me with strength for the battle;you have subdued my enemies under my feet.
41. You placed my foot on their necks.I have destroyed all who hated me.
42. They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue.They even cried to the lord, but he refused to answer.
43. I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth;I trampled them in the gutter like dirt.
44. “You gave me victory over my accusers.You preserved me as the ruler over nations;people I don’t even know now serve me.
45. Foreign nations cringe before me;as soon as they hear of me, they submit.
