2 Samuel 22:44-51 ▼

44 “Thou hast also delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.

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

46 “Foreigners lose heart, And come trembling out of their fortresses.

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

48 The God who executes vengeance for me, And brings down peoples under me,

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

50 “Therefore I will give thanks to Thee, O LORD, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Thy name.

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