18:32 The one true God 1 gives 2 me strength; 3
he removes 4 the obstacles in my way. 5
18:33 He gives me the agility of a deer; 6
he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain. 7
18:34 He trains my hands for battle; 8
my arms can bend even the strongest bow. 9
18:35 You give me your protective shield; 10
your right hand supports me; 11
your willingness to help 12 enables me to prevail. 13
18:36 You widen my path; 14
my feet 15 do not slip.
18:37 I chase my enemies and catch 16 them;
I do not turn back until I wipe them out.
18:38 I beat them 17 to death; 18
they fall at my feet. 19
18:39 You give me strength 20 for battle;
you make my foes kneel before me. 21
18:40 You make my enemies retreat; 22
I destroy those who hate me. 23
18:41 They cry out, but there is no one to help them; 24
they cry out to the Lord, 25 but he does not answer them.
18:42 I grind them as fine windblown dust; 26
I beat them underfoot 27 like clay 28 in the streets.
