41 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 42 They looked about, but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not. 43 Then did I beate them as small as the dust of the earth: I did treade them flat as the clay of the streete, and did spread them abroad. 44 Thou hast also deliuered me from the cotentions of my people: thou hast preserued me to be the head ouer nations: the people which I knewe not, doe serue me. 45 Strangers shalbe in subiection to me: assoone as they heare, they shall obey me. 46 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers. 47 Let the Lorde liue, and blessed be my strength: and God, euen the force of my saluation be exalted. 48 It is God that giueth me power to reuenge me, and subdue the people vnder me, 49 And rescueth me from mine enemies: (thou also hast lift me vp from them that rose against me, thou hast deliuered me from the cruell man. 50 Therefore I will praise thee, O Lord amog the nations, and will sing vnto thy Name) 51 He is the tower of saluation for his King, and sheweth mercie to his anointed, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer. 2 Samuel 22:41-51, Geneva Bible of 1587.
