Context of Psalms 18:46

44At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me. 45Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places. Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation, 47The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me; 48Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
