2 Samuel 22:33-45 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

33. ·God is my strong fortress, And he maketh my way perfectly smooth.

34. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, And setteth me upon my high places.

35. He teacheth my hands to war, And mine arms bend a bow of brass.

36. And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

37. Thou enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip.

38. I pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them, And I turned not again till they were consumed.

39. And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet.

40. And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

41. And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed.

42. They looked, and there was none to save--Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.

43. And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.

44. And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me:

45. Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me.
