² He is my loving ally and my fortress,
    my tower of safety, my rescuer.
He is my shield, and I take refuge in him.
    He makes the nations^[a] submit to me.

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
³     my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
    and my place of safety.
He is my refuge, my savior,
    the one who saves me from violence.

² The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
    my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
    and my place of safety.

⁹ You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me,
    for you, O God, are my fortress.

⁴⁷ He is the God who pays back those who harm me;
    he subdues the nations under me

³ When you go to war,
    your people will serve you willingly.
You are arrayed in holy garments,
    and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.

⁹ O God, look with favor upon the king, our shield!
    Show favor to the one you have anointed.

⁴⁰ You have armed me with strength for the battle;
    you have subdued my enemies under my feet.
⁴¹ You placed my foot on their necks.
    I have destroyed all who hated me.
⁴² They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue.
    They even cried to the Lord, but he refused to answer.
⁴³ I ground them as fine as the dust of the earth;
    I trampled them^[a] in the gutter like dirt.

⁴⁴ “You gave me victory over my accusers.
    You preserved me as the ruler over nations;
    people I don’t even know now serve me.
⁴⁵ Foreign nations cringe before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they submit.
⁴⁶ They all lose their courage
    and come trembling^[b] from their strongholds.
