2 Samuel 22:31-51

New Living Translation NLT

31 “God’s way is perfect. All the LORD ’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

32 For who is God except the LORD ? Who but our God is a solid rock?

33 God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect.

34 He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.

35 He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.

36 You have given me your shield of victory; your help has made me great.

37 You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.

38 “I chased my enemies and destroyed them; I did not stop until they were conquered.

39 I consumed them; I struck them down so they did not get up; they fell beneath my feet.

40 You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet.

41 You placed my foot on their necks. I have destroyed all who hated me.

42 They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the LORD, but he refused to answer.

43 I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trampled them in the gutter like dirt.

44 “You gave me victory over my accusers. You preserved me as the ruler over nations; people I don’t even know now serve me.

45 Foreign nations cringe before me; as soon as they hear of me, they submit.

46 They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds.

47 “The LORD lives! Praise to my Rock! May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted!

48 He is the God who pays back those who harm me; he brings down the nations under me

49 and delivers me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents.

50 For this, O LORD, I will praise you among the nations; I will sing praises to your name.

51 You give great victories to your king; you show unfailing love to your anointed, to David and all his descendants forever.”

New International Version NIV

31 “As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

33 It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.

35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 You make your saving help my shield; your help has made me great.

37 You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

39 I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

40 You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.

41 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.

42 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but he did not answer.

43 I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.

44 “You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples; you have preserved me as the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,

45 foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

46 They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.

47 “The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!

48 He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me,

49 who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.

50 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.

51 “He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
