Psalms 18:35-48

35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;And thy right hand hath holden me up,And thy gentleness hath made me great.36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,And my feet have not slipped.37I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them;Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.38I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise:They shall fall under my feet.39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle:Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.40Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,That I might cut off them that hate me.41They cried, but there was none to save;Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;Thou hast made me the head of the nations:A people whom I have not known shall serve me.44As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me;The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.45The foreigners shall fade away,And shall come trembling out of their close places.46Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock;And exalted be the God of my salvation,47Even the God that executeth vengeance for me,And subdueth peoples under me.48He rescueth me from mine enemies;Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me;Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
