Psalm 18:34-46
New King James Version
34 (A)He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.
36 You enlarged my path under me,
(B)So my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38 I have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.
39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have [a]subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.
41 They cried out, but there was none to save;
(C)Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;
I (D)cast them out like dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
(E)You have made me the head of the [b]nations;
(F)A people I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me;
The foreigners [c]submit to me.
45 (G)The foreigners fade away,
And come frightened from their hideouts.
46 The Lord lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
