44You rescued me from my conflicts with my people. You kept me as the leader of nations. A people I did not know will serve me. 45Foreigners will cringe in front of me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me. Foreigners will lose heart, although they are armed in their fortifications. 47The Lord lives! Thanks be to my rock! May God, the rock of my salvation, be glorified. 48God gives me vengeance! He brings people under my authority.
