43-45 You rescued me from a squabbling people;
    you made me a leader of nations.
People I’d never heard of served me;
    the moment they got wind of me they listened.
The foreign devils gave up; they came
    on their bellies, crawling from their hideouts.

46-48 Live, God! Blessings from my Rock,
    my free and freeing God, towering!
This God set things right for me
    and shut up the people who talked back.
He rescued me from enemy anger,
    he pulled me from the grip of upstarts,
He saved me from the bullies.

    Exalted be God(G) my Savior!(H)

    who subdues nations(J) under me,
48     who saves(K) me from my enemies.(L)
You exalted me above my foes;
    from a violent man(M) you rescued me.
