32 “For (A)who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
33 [a]God is my (B)strength and power,
And He (C)makes [b]my way (D)perfect.
34 He makes [c]my feet (E)like the feet of deer,
And (F)sets me on my high places.
35 He teaches my hands [d]to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your gentleness has made me great.
37 You (G)enlarged my path under me;
So my feet did not slip.

38 “I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
39 And I have destroyed them and wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen (H)under my feet.
40 For You have (I)armed me with strength for the battle;
You have [e]subdued under me (J)those who rose against me.
41 You have also [f]given me the (K)necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.
