Psalms 18:40-50

40You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me.

41They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

42I grind them as fine windblown dust; I beat them underfoot like clay in the streets.

43You rescue me from a hostile army; you make me a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.

44When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me. Foreigners are powerless before me;

45foreigners lose their courage; they shake with fear as they leave their strongholds.

46The Lord is alive! My protector is praiseworthy! The God who delivers me is exalted as king!

47The one true God completely vindicates me; he makes nations submit to me.

48He delivers me from my enemies; you snatch me away from those who attack me; you rescue me from violent men.

49So I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord! I will sing praises to you!

50He gives his chosen king magnificent victories; he is faithful to his chosen ruler, to David and his descendants forever.”
