Psalm 18:31-40

Amplified Bible

³¹ 
For who is God, but the Lord?
Or who is a rock, except our God,
³² 
The God who encircles me with strength
And makes my way blameless?
³³ 
He makes my feet like ^[a]hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble];
He sets me [securely] upon my high places.
³⁴ 
He trains my hands for war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁵ 
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your right hand upholds and sustains me;
Your gentleness [Your gracious response when I pray] makes me great.
³⁶ 
You enlarge the path beneath me and make my steps secure,
So that my feet will not slip.

³⁷ 
I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
³⁸ 
I shattered them so that they were not able to rise;
They fell [wounded] under my feet.
³⁹ 
For You have encircled me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
⁴⁰ 
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me [in defeat],
And I silenced and destroyed those who hated me.
