Psalms 18:40-50

Leeser(i) 40 (18:41) And my enemies thou causest to turn their back to me; and those that hate me,—that I may destroy them. 41 (18:42) They cry, but there is none to help; unto the Lord,—but he answereth them not. 42 (18:43) And I beat them small as the dust before the wind: like the dirt in the streets do I cast them out. 43 (18:44) Thou deliverest me from the contests of the people; thou appointest me to be the head of nations: a people that I know not shall serve me. 44 (18:45) As soon as their ear heareth they shall be obedient to me: the children of the stranger shall utter flattery unto me. 45 (18:46) The children of the stranger shall fade away, and come forth trembling out of their close places. 46 (18:47) The Lord liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation; 47 (18:48) The God that granteth me vengeance, and subdueth nations under me; 48 (18:49) That delivereth me from my enemies: also above my opponents thou liftest me up; thou deliverest me from the man of violence. 49 (18:50) Therefore will I give thanks unto thee among the nations, O Lord, and unto thy name will I sing praises,— 50 (18:51) To him that maketh great the salvation of his king, and who sheweth kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever.
