Psalms 18:40-50

Brenton(i) 40 (17:40) And thou has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me. 41 (17:41) They cried, but there was no deliverer: even to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them. 42 (17:42) I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind. 43 (17:43) Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me, 44 (17:44) at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me. 45 (17:45) The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness. 46 (17:46) The Lord lives; and blessed be my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 47 (17:47) It is God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me; 48 (17:48) my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man. 49 (17:49) Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name. 50 (17:50) God magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
