For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword deliver me.

But You have delivered us from our enemies, and have put to shame those who hated us.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par Blessed is Jehovah my Rock, who teaches my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;

the One who gives deliverance to kings; who rescues David His servant from the evil sword.

And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

Therefore David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and strike these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go and strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.

And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue, for you shall reach to overtake them, and rescue to recover all.

And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up, for I will deliver up to give the Philistines into your hand.

So David went to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken through my enemies before me, like water bursting forth. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and he struck the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gezer.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies.

having disarmed rulers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

For by You I run against a troop; by my God I leap over a wall.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than every one of them, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather exult in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
