THOU HAST ENLARGED MY STEPS

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, 

that my feet did not slip.

I have pursued mine enemies, 

and overtaken them: neither 

did I turn again till they were consumed.

I have wounded them that they 

were not able to rise: they are 

fallen under my feet.

For thou hast girded me with 

strength unto the battle: 

thou hast subdued under me 

those that rose up against me.

Thou hast also given me the necks 

of mine enemies; that I might 

destroy them that hate me.

They cried, but there was 

none to save them: even 

unto the LORD, but he 

answered them not.

Then did I beat them small 

as the dust before the wind: 

I did cast them out 

as the dirt in the streets.

Thou hast delivered me 

from the strivings of the 

people; and thou hast 

made me the head of 

the heathen: a people 

whom I have not known 

shall serve me.

As soon as they hear 

of me, they shall obey 

me: the strangers shall 

submit themselves unto me.

The strangers shall fade 

away, and be afraid out 

of their close places.

The LORD liveth; 

and blessed be my rock; 

and let the God of my 

salvation be exalted.

It is God that avengeth 

me, and subdueth 

the people under me.

He delivereth me from 

mine enemies: yea, thou 

liftest me up above those 

that rise up against me: 

Thou hast delivered me 

from the violent man.

Therefore will I give 

thanks unto thee, O LORD, 

among the heathen, 

and sing praises unto thy name.

Great deliverance giveth 

he to his king; and sheweth 

mercy to his anointed, to 

David, and to his seed for evermore.

Psalm 18:36-50
