⁷ Sovereign Lord,^(A) my strong deliverer,
    you shield my head in the day of battle.

³⁴ He trains my hands for battle;^(A)
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁵ You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains^(B) me;
    your help has made me great.
³⁶ You provide a broad path^(C) for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.^(D)

³⁷ I pursued my enemies^(E) and overtook them;
    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
³⁸ I crushed them^(F) so that they could not rise;^(G)
    they fell beneath my feet.^(H)
39 You armed me with strength^(I) for battle;
    you humbled my adversaries^(J) before me.
⁴⁰ You made my enemies turn their backs^(K) in flight,
    and I destroyed^(L) my foes.
⁴¹ They cried for help, but there was no one to save them^(M)—
    to the Lord, but he did not answer.^(N)
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;^(O)
    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.^(P)
People I did not know^(Q) now serve me,
⁴⁴     foreigners^(R) cower before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
⁴⁵ They all lose heart;^(S)
    they come trembling^(T) from their strongholds.^(U)

⁴⁶ The Lord lives!^(V) Praise be to my Rock!^(W)
    Exalted be God^(X) my Savior!^(Y)

³¹ The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
    but victory rests with the Lord.^(A)

⁷ The Lord will keep you from all harm^(A)—
    he will watch over your life;
⁸ the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.^(B)
