Psalms 18:33-45

³³He made my feet like the hind's, And set me in my high places;

³⁴He taught my hands to war, So that my arm bent the bow of brass.

³⁵Thou gavest me the shield of thy protection; Thy right hand held me up, And thy goodness made me great.

³⁶Thou didst make a wide path for my steps, So that my feet did not stumble.

³⁷I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And turned not back till I had destroyed them.

³⁸I smote them, so that they could not rise; They fell under my feet.

³⁹Thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; Thou didst cast down my adversaries under me.

⁴⁰Thou didst cause my enemies to turn their backs, So that I destroyed them that hated me.

⁴¹They cried, but there was none to help; To Jehovah, but he answered them not.

⁴²I beat them small, like dust before the wind; I cast them out as the dirt of the streets.

⁴³Thou hast delivered me from the assaults of the nations; Thou hast made me the head of the kingdoms. Nations whom I knew not serve me;

⁴⁴They who have only heard of me obey me; Yea, men of a strange land submit themselves to me;

⁴⁵Men of a strange land fade away, like a leaf, And come trembling from their strongholds.
