New International Version

2 Samuel 22:35-42 New International Version (NIV)

35. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36. You make your saving help my shield; your help has made me great.

37. You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

38. “I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

39. I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

40. You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.

41. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.

42. They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the Lord, but he did not answer.
