He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

This God is my strong place of valor! He has made my life blameless.

He has made my feet like those of a deer, setting me secure on his high places!

He has trained my hands for battle readiness I can bend a bow made out of bronze.

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