46 The Lord lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God who avenges me,
(A)And subdues the peoples under me;
48 He delivers me from my enemies.
(B)You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man.
49 (C)Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the [a]Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.

50 (D)Great deliverance He gives to His king,
And shows mercy to His anointed,
To David and his [b]descendants forevermore.
