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
make me great.
36 You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn. 37 I pursued
my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. 38 I

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;
