Psalms 18:40-50
40Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341; that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.
41They criedH7768, but there was none to saveH3467 them: even unto YhwhH3068, but he answeredH6030 them not.
42Then did I beatH7833 them small as the dustH6083 beforeH6440 the windH7307: I did cast them outH7324 as the dirtH2916 in the streetsH2351.
43Thou hast deliveredH6403 me from the strivingsH7379 of the peopleH5971; and thou hast madeH7760 me the headH7218 of the heathenH1471: a peopleH5971 whom I have not knownH3045 shall serveH5647 me.
44As soon as they hearH241H8088 of me, they shall obeyH8085 me: the strangersH5236H1121 shall submitH3584 themselves unto me.123
45The strangersH5236H1121 shall fade awayH5034, and be afraidH2727 out of their close placesH4526.4
46YhwhH3068 livethH2416; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; and let the GodH430 of my salvationH3468 be exaltedH7311.
47It is GodH410 that avengethH5360H5414 me, and subduethH1696 the peopleH5971 under me.56
48He deliverethH6403 me from mine enemiesH341: yea, thou liftest me upH7311 above those that rise upH6965 against me: thou hast deliveredH5337 me from the violentH2555 manH376.7
49Therefore will I give thanksH3034 unto thee, O YhwhH3068, among the heathenH1471, and sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034.8
50GreatH1431 deliveranceH3444 giveth he to his kingH4428; and shewethH6213 mercyH2617 to his anointedH4899, to DavidH1732, and to his seedH2233 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
