Psalms 18:35-48

35You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.

36You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.

37I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

38I have wounded them, So that they could not rise; They have fallen under my feet.

39For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me.

41They cried out, but there was none to save; Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

42Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like dirt in the streets.

43You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me the head of the nations; A people I have not known shall serve me.

44As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me.

45The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.

46The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me;

48He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.
