As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all

who take refuge in him. 31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the

Rock except our God? 32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my

way perfect. 33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand

on the heights.

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

me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to

39 You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet.

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

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them —

to the LORD, but he did not answer.

42 I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind; I poured them out like mud in the

streets. 43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made

me the head of nations;
