2 Samuel 22:26-51

With the faithful you prove yourself faithful, with the blameless you prove yourself blameless, with the pure you prove yourself pure, but with the crooked you prove yourself shrewd. You rescue an oppressed people,  but your eyes are set against the proud — you humble them.  Lord, you are my lamp; the Lord illuminates my darkness.  With you I can attack a barricade,  and with my God I can leap over a wall.  God — his way is perfect;  the word of the  Lord is pure.  He is a shield to all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the  Lord? And who is a rock? Only our God. God is my strong refuge;  he makes my way perfect.  He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me securely on the   heights.  He trains my hands for war;  my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have given me the shield of your salvation;  your help  exalts me. You make a spacious place beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way. I pursue my enemies and destroy them; I do not turn back until they are wiped out. I wipe them out and crush them, and they do not rise; they fall beneath my feet. You have clothed me with strength for battle; you subdue my adversaries beneath me.  You have made my enemies retreat before me;  I annihilate those who hate me. They look, but there is no one to save them — they look to the  Lord, but he does not answer them.  I pulverize them like dust of the earth; I crush them and trample them like mud in the streets.  You have freed me from the feuds among my people;  you have preserved me as head of nations; a people I had not known serve me.  Foreigners submit to me cringing; as soon as they hear, they obey me. Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their fortifications.  The Lord lives — blessed be my rock! God, the rock of my salvation,  is exalted. God — he grants me vengeance and casts down peoples under me.  He frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my adversaries; you rescue me from violent men.  Therefore I will give thanks to you among the nations,  Lord; I will sing praises about your name.  He is a tower of salvation for   his king; he shows loyalty to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
