2 Samuel 22:31-40
King James Version
2 Samuel 22:31-40
King James Version
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.

31 “As for God, his way is perfect:(A)
The Lord’s word is flawless;(B)
he shields(C) all who take refuge in him.
32 For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock(D) except our God?(E)

and keeps my way secure.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(F)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(G)
35 He trains my hands(H) for battle;
my arms can bend a bow(I) of bronze.
36 You make your saving help my shield;(J)
your help has made[b] me great.
37 You provide a broad path(K) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
