New International Version

Psalm 18:32-42 New International Version (NIV)

32. It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

33. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.

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

35. You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great.

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

37. I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

38. I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

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

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

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

42. I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
