³¹ This God—his way is perfect;
   the promise of the Lord proves true;
   he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

³² For who is God, but the Lord?
   And who is a rock, except our God?
³³ The God who has girded me with strength^*
   has opened wide my path.^*
34 He made my^* feet like the feet of deer,
   and set me secure on the heights.
³⁵ He trains my hands for war,
   so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁶ You have given me the shield of your salvation,
   and your help^* has made me great.
³⁷ You have made me stride freely,
   and my feet do not slip;
³⁸ I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
   and did not turn back until they were consumed.
³⁹ I consumed them; I struck them down, so that they did not rise;
   they fell under my feet.
⁴⁰ For you girded me with strength for the battle;
   you made my assailants sink under me.
⁴¹ You made my enemies turn their backs to me,
   those who hated me, and I destroyed them.
⁴² They looked, but there was no one to save them;
   they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
⁴³ I beat them fine like the dust of the earth,
   I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.
