2 Samuel 22:39-48 American Standard Version (ASV)

39. And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise: Yea, they are fallen under my feet.

40. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

41. Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

42. They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

43. Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

44. Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

45. The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

46. The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.

47. Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

48. Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And that bringeth down peoples under me,
