Psalms 18:40-50

40Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

41They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto Yhwh, but he answered them not.

42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.123

45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.4

46Yhwh liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.56

48He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.7

49Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Yhwh, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.8

50Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
