2 Samuel 22:38-41

22:38 I chase my enemies and destroy them;

I do not turn back until I wipe them out.

22:39 I wipe them out and beat them to death;

they cannot get up;

they fall at my feet.

22:40 You give me strength for battle; ¹ 

you make my foes kneel before me. ² 

22:41 You make my enemies retreat; ³ 

I destroy those who hate me.

[22:40]  ¹ tn Heb “you clothed me with strength for battle.”

[22:40]  ² tn Heb “you make those who rise against me kneel beneath me.”

[22:41]  ³ tn Heb “and [as for] my enemies, you give to me [the] back [or “neck” ].” The idiom “give [the] back” means “to cause [one] to turn the back and run away.” See Exod 23:27 and HALOT 888 s.v. II ערף.
