Psalms 18:34-50

34He 1trainsH3925 my handsH3027 for battleH4421, So that my armsH2220 can 2bendH5181 a bowH7198 of bronzeH5154.35You have also givenH5414 me 3the shieldH4043 of Your salvationH3468, And Your 4rightH3225 handH3225 upholdsH5582 me; And 5Your 6gentlenessH6038 makesH7235 me greatH7235.36You 7enlargeH7337 my stepsH6806 underH8478 me, And my 89feetH7166 have not slippedH4571.

37I 10pursuedH7291 my enemiesH340 and overtookH5381 them, And I did not turnH7725 backH7725 11untilH5704 they were consumedH3615.38I shatteredH4272 them, so that they were 12not ableH3201 to riseH6965; They fellH5307 13underH8478 my feetH7272.39For You have 14girdedH247 me with strengthH2428 for battleH4421; You have 1516subduedH3766 underH8478 me those who roseH6965 up against me.40You have also madeH5414 my enemiesH340 17turnH5414 their backsH6203 to me, And I 1819destroyedH6789 those who hatedH8130 me.41They criedH7768 for helpH7768, but thereH369 was 20noneH369 to saveH3467, Even to the LordH3068, but 21He did not answerH6030 them.42Then I beatH7833 them fineH7833 as the 22dustH6083 beforeH5921H6440 the windH7307; I emptiedH7385 them out as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.

43You have deliveredH6403 me from the 23contentionsH7379 of the peopleH5971; You have placedH7760 me as 24headH7218 of the nationsH1471; A 25peopleH5971 whom I have not knownH3045 serveH5647 me.44As soon as they hearH8088H241, they obeyH8085 me; ForeignersH1121H5236 2627submitH3584 to me.45ForeignersH1121H5236 28fadeH5034 awayH5034, And 29comeH2727 tremblingH2727 out of their 30fortressesH4526.

46The LordH3068 31livesH2416, and blessedH1288 be 32my rockH6697; And exaltedH7311 be 33the GodH430 of my salvationH3468,47The GodH410 who 34executesH5414 vengeanceH5360 for me, And 35subduesH1696 peoplesH5971 underH8478 me.48He 36deliversH6403 me from my enemiesH340; SurelyH637 You 37liftH7311 me aboveH4480 those who riseH6965 up against me; You rescueH5337 me from the 38violentH2555 manH376.49ThereforeH5921H3651 I will 39giveH3034 thanksH3034 to You among the nationsH1471, O LordH3068, And I will 40singH2167 praisesH2167 to Your nameH8034.50He gives greatH1431 4142deliveranceH3444 to His kingH4428, And showsH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 to 43His anointedH4899, To DavidH1732 and 44his 45descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769.
