New International Version
2 Samuel 22:35-43
New International Version
35 He trains my hands(A) for battle;
my arms can bend a bow(B) of bronze.
36 You make your saving help my shield;(C)
your help has made[a] me great.
37 You provide a broad path(D) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 I crushed(E) them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
40 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.(F)
41 You made my enemies turn their backs(G) in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
42 They cried for help,(H) but there was no one to save them—(I)
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(J)
43 I beat them as fine as the dust(K) of the earth;
I pounded and trampled(L) them like mud(M) in the streets.

2 Samuel 22:35-43
King James Version
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
