2 Samuel 22:44-51 ▼

44 “You also have rescued me from strife with my [own] people; You have kept me as the head of the nations. People whom I have not known served me.

45 “Foreigners pretend obedience to me; As soon as they hear [me], they obey me.

46 “Foreigners lose heart; They come trembling out of their strongholds.

47 “The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, And exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation.

48 “It is God who executes vengeance for me, And brings down [and disciplines] the peoples under me,

49 Who also brings me out from my enemies. You even lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man.

50 “For this I will give thanks and praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.

51 “He is a tower of salvation and great deliverance to His king, And shows lovingkindness to His anointed, To David and his offspring forever.”
