Psalms 18:34 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 18:34

32 It is God who ^aarms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.

33 ^aHe makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And ^bsets me on my high places.

34 ^aHe teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.

36 You enlarged my path under me,
^aSo my feet did not slip.

37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

38 I have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.

39 For You have¹ armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried out, but there was none to save;
^aEven to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;
I ^acast them out like dirt in the streets.
