33 The true God is my strong fortress,+

And he will make my way perfect.+

34 He makes my feet like those of a deer;

He makes me stand on high places.+

35 He trains my hands for warfare;

My arms can bend a bow of copper.

36 You give me your shield of salvation,

And your humility makes me great.+

37 You widen the path for my footsteps;

My feet* will not slip.+

38 I will pursue my enemies and annihilate them;

I will not return until they are wiped out.

39 And I will wipe them out and crush them, so that they will not rise up;+

They will fall under my feet.

40 You will equip me with strength for the battle;+

You will make my foes collapse under me.+

41 You will make my enemies retreat from me;*+

I will put an end to* those who hate me.+

42 They cry for help, but there is no one to save them;

They even cry to Jehovah, but he does not answer them.+

43 I will pound them as fine as the dust of the earth;

I will pulverize and trample them like mud in the streets.
