Context of Psalms 18:46
44When foreign people hear about me, they choose to obey me. They cannot stand against me because they are afraid. 45They are not brave enough to fight me. They shake with fear, as they come out of their strong cities. The Lord is alive! He is my strong Rock! Everyone should praise him! He rules as king! He is the God who saves me. 47He is the true God who punishes my enemies. He makes the nations obey me. 48He is the one who saves me from my enemies. Yes, God, you give me power to win against those who attack me. You keep me safe from angry and cruel men.
