39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me. 41 They cried, but there was none to save: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the mire of the streets. 43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places. 46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation: 47 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me. 48 He rescueth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man. 49 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name. 50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore. Psalms 18:39-50, English Revised Version. Public domain.
