New King James Version

2 Samuel 22:35-43 New King James Version (NKJV)

35. He teaches my hands to make war,So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36. “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;Your gentleness has made me great.

37. You enlarged my path under me;So my feet did not slip.

38. “I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them;Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

39. And I have destroyed them and wounded them,So that they could not rise;They have fallen under my feet.

40. For You have armed me with strength for the battle;You have subdued under me those who rose against me.

41. You have also given me the necks of my enemies,So that I destroyed those who hated me.

42. They looked, but there was none to save;Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

43. Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;I trod them like dirt in the streets,And I spread them out.
