2 Samuel 22:28-40 English Revised Version (ERV)

28. And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

29. For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

30. For by thee I run upon a troop: by my God do I leap over a wall.

31. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

32. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

33. God is my strong fortress: and he guideth the perfect in his way.

34. He maketh his feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

35. He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

36. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

37. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

38. I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

39. And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, 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.
