2 Samuel 22:32-45 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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.

41. Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.

42. They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

43. Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

44. Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

45. The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
