⁷ He ^(A)raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
⁸ to make them ^(B)sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.

³⁷ I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
    and did not turn back till they were consumed.
³⁸ I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
    they fell under my feet.
³⁹ For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
    you made those who rise against me sink under me.
⁴⁰ You made my enemies ^(A)turn their backs to me,^[a]
    and those who hated me I destroyed.
^41 (B)They cried for help, but there was none to save;
    they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
⁴² I beat them fine as ^(C)dust before the wind;
    I cast them out like ^(D)the mire of the streets.

^34 (A)He made my feet like the feet of a deer
    and set me secure ^(B)on the heights.
^35 (C)He trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁶ You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your gentleness made me great.
^37 (D)You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
    and my feet^[a] did not slip;
³⁸ I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
    and did not turn back until they were consumed.
