Psalm 18:35-48 American Standard Version (ASV)

35. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.

36. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.

37. I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.

38. I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.

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 Jehovah, 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 foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.

45. The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.

46. Jehovah 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.
