Psalms 18:35-48

35You have givenH5414 me Your shieldH4043 of salvationH3468; Your right handH3225 upholds meH5582, and Your gentlenessH6037 exalts meH7235.136You broadenH7337 the pathH6806 beneath meH8478 so that my anklesH7166 do notH3808 give wayH4571.37I pursuedH7291 my enemiesH341 and overtook themH5381; I did notH3808 turn backH7725 untilH5704 they were consumedH3615.38I crushed themH4272 so they could notH3808 H3201 riseH6965; they have fallenH5307 underH8478 my feetH7272.

39You have armed meH247 with strengthH2428 for battleH4421;You have subduedH3766 my foesH6965 beneath meH8478.40You have madeH5414 my enemiesH341 retreatH6203 before me;I destroyedH6789 those who hated meH8130.41They cried for helpH7768, but there was no oneH369 to save themH3467—toH5921 the LORDH3068, but He did notH3808 answerH6030.42I ground themH7833 as dustH6083 inH5921 the face ofH6440 the windH7307;I trampled themH7324 2 like mudH2916 in the streetsH2351.

43You have delivered meH6403 from the strifeH7379 of the peopleH5971;You have made meH7760 the headH7218 of nationsH1471;a peopleH5971 I had notH3808 knownH3045 shall serve meH5647.44When they hear meH8088 H241, they obeyH8085 me;foreignersH1121 H5236 cowerH3584 before me.45ForeignersH1121 H5236 lose heartH5034and come tremblingH2727 from their strongholdsH4526.

46The LORDH3068 livesH2416, and blessed beH1288 my RockH6697!And may the GodH430 of my salvationH3468 be exaltedH7311—47the GodH410 who avengesH5414 H5360 meand subduesH1696 nationsH5971 beneath meH8478,48who delivers meH6403 fromH4480 my enemiesH341 H637.You exalt meH7311 above my foesH6965;You rescue meH5337 from violentH2555 menH376.
