Psalm 18:34-42
New International Version
34 He trains my hands for battle;(A)
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains(B) me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(C) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.(D)
37 I pursued my enemies(E) and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them(F) so that they could not rise;(G)
they fell beneath my feet.(H)
39 You armed me with strength(I) for battle;
you humbled my adversaries(J) before me.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs(K) in flight,
and I destroyed(L) my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them(M)—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(N)
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;(O)
I trampled them[a] like mud in the streets.

Psalm 18:34-42
King James Version
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
