Context of Psalms 18:46
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. The 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.
