2 Samuel 22:36-46

36 You have given me the shield of your salvation. Your help makes me great.
37 You make a wide path for me to walk on so that my feet do not slip.
38 I chased my enemies and destroyed them. I did not return until I had ended their lives.
39 I ended their lives by shattering them. They were unable to get up. They fell under my feet.
40 You armed me with strength for battle. You made my opponents bow at my feet.
41 You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and I destroyed those who hated me.
42 They looked, but there was no one to save them. They looked to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
43 I beat them into a powder as fine as the dust on the ground. I crushed them and stomped on them like the dirt on the streets.
44 You rescued me from my conflicts with my people. You kept me as the leader of nations. A people I did not know will serve me.
45 Foreigners will cringe in front of me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.
46 Foreigners will lose heart, although they are armed in their fortifications.
