Berean Standard Bible
Psalms 18:40-50
40You have made my enemies retreat before me; I destroyed those who hated me.41They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.42I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them1 like mud in the streets.
43You have delivered me from the strife of the people;You have made me the head of nations;a people I had not known shall serve me.44When they hear me, they obey me;foreigners cower before me.45Foreigners lose heartand come trembling from their strongholds.
46The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock!And may the God of my salvation be exalted—47the God who avenges meand subdues nations beneath me,48who delivers me from my enemies.You exalt me above my foes;You rescue me from violent men.49Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations;I will sing praises to Your name.2
50Great salvation He brings to His king.He shows loving devotion to His anointed,to David and his descendants forever.
