2 Samuel 22:34-43 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

34. He makes my feet like a doe deer, and on my high places he has set me.

35. He trains my hands for the war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36. You have given me the shield of your salvation; your willingness to help has made me great.

37. You have broadened my steps beneath me; my ankles have not wobbled.

38. I pursued those who hate me, and I destroyed them. I did not turn back until finishing them.

39. I wiped them out and I smashed them; they did not get up; they fell under my feet.

40. You have girded me with physical strength for the battle; you caused those who rose up against me to kneel under me.

41. My enemies you cause to retreat from me; I destroy those who hate me.

42. They looked out, but there was no deliverer, even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

43. I beat them fine, like the dust of the earth; like the mire of the streets, I crushed them, I stamped them down.
