32  “For who is God, but the Lord?

^oAnd who is a rock, except our God?

33  This God is my ^pstrong refuge

and has made my¹ way blameless.²

34  ^qHe made my feet like the feet of a deer

and set me secure ^ron the heights.

35  ^sHe trains my hands for war,

so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36  You have given me the shield of your salvation,

and your gentleness made me great.

37  ^tYou gave a wide place for my steps under me,

and my feet³ did not slip;

38  I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,

and did not turn back until they were consumed.

39  I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;

they fell ^uunder my feet.

40  For you equipped me with strength for the battle;

you made ^vthose who rise against me sink under me.

41  You ^wmade my enemies turn their backs to me,⁴

those who hated me, and I destroyed them.

42  They looked, but there was none to save;

they cried to the Lord, but ^xhe did not answer them.

43  I beat them fine ^yas the dust of the earth;

I crushed them and stamped them down ^zlike the mire of the streets.

44  “You delivered me from strife with my people;⁵

you kept me as the head of ^athe nations;

^bpeople whom I had not known served me.

45  Foreigners came cringing to me;

as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

46  Foreigners lost heart

and came trembling^{6 c}out of their fortresses.

47  “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,

and exalted be ^dmy God, ^ethe rock of my salvation,

48  the God who gave me vengeance

and ^fbrought down peoples under me,

49  who brought me out from my enemies;

you exalted me above ^vthose who rose against me;

you delivered me from ^gmen of violence.

50  ^h“For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,

and sing praises to your name.

51  ⁱGreat salvation he brings⁷ to his king,

and shows steadfast love to ^jhis anointed,

to David and his offspring ^kforever.”
