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. He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man. 49Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name. 50Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
