Psalm 18:41-50

Amplified Bible

⁴¹ 
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
Even to the Lord [they cried], but He did not answer them.
⁴² 
Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind;
I emptied them out as the dirt of the streets.

⁴³ 
You have rescued me from the contentions of the people;
You have placed me as the head of the nations;
A people whom I have not known serve me.
⁴⁴ 
As soon as they hear me, they respond and obey me;
Foreigners feign obedience to me.
⁴⁵ 
Foreigners lose heart,
And come trembling out of their strongholds.

⁴⁶ 
The Lord lives, blessed be my rock;
And may the God of my salvation be exalted,
⁴⁷ 
The God who avenges me,
And subdues peoples (nations) under me.
⁴⁸ 
He rescues me from my enemies;
Yes, You lift me up above those who rise up against me;
You deliver me from the man of violence.
⁴⁹ 
Therefore will I give thanks and praise You, O Lord, among the nations,
And sing praises to Your name.^(A)
50 
He gives great triumphs to His king,
And shows steadfast love and mercy to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forever.^(B)
