43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
    you have made me the head of nations.(A)
People I did not know(B) now serve me,
44     foreigners(C) cower before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;(D)
    they come trembling(E) from their strongholds.(F)

46 The Lord lives!(G) Praise be to my Rock!(H)
    Exalted be God(I) my Savior!(J)
47 He is the God who avenges(K) me,
    who subdues nations(L) under me,
48     who saves(M) me from my enemies.(N)
You exalted me above my foes;
    from a violent man(O) you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;(P)
    I will sing(Q) the praises of your name.(R)

50 He gives his king great victories;
    he shows unfailing love to his anointed,(S)
    to David(T) and to his descendants forever.(U)

43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
