Psalm 18:31-46
New American Standard Bible
31 For (A)who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a (B)rock, except our God,
32 The God who (C)encircles me with strength,
And [a]makes my way [b](D)blameless?
33 He (E)makes my feet like deer’s feet,
And (F)sets me up on my high places.
34 He (G)trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can (H)bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me (I)the shield of Your salvation,
And Your (J)right hand upholds me;
And (K)Your [c]gentleness makes me great.
36 You (L)enlarge my steps under me,
And my [d](M)feet have not slipped.
37 I (N)pursued my enemies and overtook them,
And I did not turn back (O)until they were consumed.
38 I shattered them, so that they were (P)not able to rise;
They fell (Q)under my feet.
39 For You have (R)encircled me with strength for battle;
You have forced those who rose up against me (S)to bow down under me.
40 You have also made my enemies (T)turn their backs to me,
And I [e](U)destroyed those who hated me.
41 They cried for help, but there was (V)no one to save,
They cried to the Lord, but (W)He did not answer them.
42 Then I beat them fine like the (X)dust before the wind;
I emptied them out like the mud of the streets.
43 You have rescued me from the (Y)contentions of the people;
You have placed me as (Z)head of the nations;
A (AA)people whom I have not known serve me.
44 As soon as they hear, they obey me;
Foreigners (AB)pretend to obey me.
45 Foreigners (AC)lose heart,
And (AD)come trembling out of their [f]fortresses.

31 For who is God besides the Lord?(A)
And who is the Rock(B) except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength(C)
and keeps my way secure.(D)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(E)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(F)
34 He trains my hands for battle;(G)
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains(H) me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(I) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.(J)
37 I pursued my enemies(K) and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them(L) so that they could not rise;(M)
they fell beneath my feet.(N)
39 You armed me with strength(O) for battle;
you humbled my adversaries(P) before me.

and I destroyed(R) my foes.

to the Lord, but he did not answer.(T)

I trampled them[a] like mud in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.(V)
People I did not know(W) now serve me,
44 foreigners(X) cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;(Y)
they come trembling(Z) from their strongholds.(AA)
