◄ Psalm 18:34 ►

He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

Context

34He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your right hand upholds me;
And Your gentleness makes me great.

36You enlarge my steps under me,
And my feet have not slipped.

37I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

38I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise;
They fell under my feet.

39For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I destroyed those who hated me.

41They cried for help, but there was none to save,
Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.

42Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind;
I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.

43You have delivered me from the contentions of the people;
You have placed me as head of the nations;
A people whom I have not known serve me.

44As soon as they hear, they obey me;
Foreigners submit to me.

45Foreigners fade away,
And come trembling out of their fortresses.

46The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock;
And exalted be the God of my salvation,

47The God who executes vengeance for me,
And subdues peoples under me.

48He delivers me from my enemies;
Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.

49Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O LORD,
And I will sing praises to Your name.

50He gives great deliverance to His king,
And shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forever.
