Psalms 18:33-40

³³He makes me surefooted like the deer, able to walk the heights in safety.

³⁴He teaches me how to fight in battle; he gives me the strength to draw a bronze bow.

³⁵You protect me with the shield of your salvation; you support me with your powerful right hand; your help has made me great.

³⁶You gave me space in which to walk, and prevented my feet from slipping.

³⁷I chased my enemies, and caught up with them. I did not turn around until I had destroyed them.

³⁸I struck them down—they couldn't get up. They fell at my feet.

³⁹You made me strong for battle; you made those who rose up against me kneel down before me.

⁴⁰You made my enemies run away; I destroyed all my enemies.
