Psalm 18:31-42

English Standard Version

³¹ For ^(A)who is God, but the Lord?
    And who is ^(B)a rock, except our God?—
³² the God who ^(C)equipped me with strength
    and made my way ^(D)blameless.
³³ He made my feet like the feet of a ^(E)deer
    and set me secure on ^(F)the heights.
³⁴ He ^(G)trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁵ You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your right hand ^(H)supported me,
    and your ^(I)gentleness made me great.
³⁶ You ^(J)gave 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 till they were consumed.
³⁸ I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
    they fell under my feet.
³⁹ For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
    you made those who rise against me sink under me.
⁴⁰ You made my enemies ^(K)turn their backs to me,^[a]
    and those who hated me I destroyed.
^41 (L)They cried for help, but there was none to save;
    they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
⁴² I beat them fine as ^(M)dust before the wind;
    I cast them out like ^(N)the mire of the streets.
