And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.

And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.

And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
