He makes me sure-footed as a deer; he keeps me safe on the mountains.

He trains me for battle, so that I can use the strongest bow.

Praise the LORD, my protector! He trains me for battle and prepares me for war.

He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows, destroys spears, and sets shields on fire.

Then I will knock his bow out of his left hand and his arrows out of his right hand.

The people who live in the cities of Israel will go out and collect the abandoned weapons for firewood. They will build fires with the shields, bows, arrows, spears, and clubs, and have enough to last for seven years.

They will not have to gather firewood in the fields or cut down trees in the forest, because they will have the abandoned weapons to burn. They will loot and plunder those who looted and plundered them." The Sovereign LORD has spoken.
