¹⁴ I am poured out like water,
    and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
    it is melted within my breast;^(A)
15 my mouth^[a] is dried up like a potsherd,
    and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
    you lay me in the dust of death.^(B)

³¹ For who is God except the Lord?
    And who is a rock besides our God?^(A)
32 The God who has girded me with strength
    and made my way safe.^[a]
33 He made my feet like the feet of a deer
    and set me secure on the heights.^(B)
34 He trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.^(C)
35 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your right hand has supported me;
    your help^[b] has made me great.
³⁶ You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,
    and my feet did not slip.
³⁷ I pursued my enemies and overtook them
    and did not turn back until they were consumed.^(D)
38 I struck them down so that they were unable to rise;
    they fell under my feet.^(E)
39 For you girded me with strength for the battle;
    you made my assailants sink under me.^(F)
40 You made my enemies turn their backs to me,
    and those who hated me I destroyed.^(G)

⁷ Rise up, O Lord!
    Deliver me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
    you break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
    may your blessing be on your people! Selah^(A)
