Psalms 18:40-50

40You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed.

41They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

42I beat them fine as dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets.

43You delivered me from strife with the people; you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.

44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me.

45Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses.

46The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation—

47the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me,

48who rescued me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from the man of violence.

49For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing to your name.

50Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever.
