35 He teaches my hands to fight, and my arms break the bow of brass.

36 Thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand upholds me, and thy mercy magnifies me.

37 Thou hast widened my pace under me, and my feet do not waver.

38 I pursue my enemies, and overtake them, and I do not return until I have destroyed them;

39 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, they fall under my feet,

40 For thou hast girded me with strength for war, and hast put under my feet those who rise up against me;

41 Thou hast turned the rear of my enemies to me, and I destroy them that hate me.

42 they cry out, but there is no one to save; to the Lord, but He hearkens not to them;

43 I scatter them as dust in the face of the wind, as the filth of the street I trample on them.

44 Thou hast delivered me from the rebellion of the people, and hast made me the head of the foreigners; a people whom I did not know serve me;

45 By the mere rumour of me they obey me; foreigners caress me before me;

46 The foreigners turn pale and tremble in their fortifications.

47 As the Lord lives, and blessed is my defender! May the God of my salvation be exalted;

48 God, who avenges me, and subdues the nations to me,

49 And he who delivers me from my enemies! Thou hast exalted me above them that rise up against me, and hast delivered me from a cruel man.

50 Therefore I will praise thee, O Lord, among the foreigners, and I will sing praises to thy name,

51 Who majestically saves the king, and shows mercy to Thy anointed David and his seed for ever.

7. The Ark in Zion (2 Samuel 6; Psalm 23:7-10)

1 And David gathered together again all the choicest men of Israel, thirty thousand.

2 And David arose, and went and went, and all the people who were with him from Baal of Judah, to bring thence the ark of God, on which is called the name of the Lord of hosts, which sits on the cherubim.

3 And they put the ark of God on a new chariot, and took it out of the house of Aminadab which is on the hill. And the sons of Aminadab, Uzzah and Ahio, drove a new chariot.
