Who is God except the Lord? And who is strong except our God?
God, he has girded me with fortitude, and he has made my way perfect:
making my feet like the feet of the stag, and stationing me upon my exalted places,
teaching my hands to do battle, and making my arms like a bow of brass.
You have given me the shield of your salvation. And your mildness has multiplied me.
You will enlarge my steps under me, and my ankles will not fail.
I will pursue my enemies, and crush them. And I will not turn back, until I consume them.
