Psalm 18 — Psalms 18:40–48
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,
That I might cut off them that hate me.
That I might cut off them that hate me.
They cried, but there was none to save;
Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;
I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
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.
Thou hast made me the head of the nations:
A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me;
The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.
The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.
The foreigners shall fade away,
And shall come trembling out of their close places.
And shall come trembling out of their close places.
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock;
And exalted be the God of my salvation,
And exalted be the God of my salvation,
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me,
And subdueth peoples under me.
And subdueth peoples under me.
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.
Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me;
Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
