43. You delivered me from strife with the people;you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
44. As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me.
45. Foreigners lost heartand came trembling out of their fortresses.
46. The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,and exalted be the God of my salvation—
47. the God who gave me vengeanceand subdued peoples under me,
48. who delivered me from my enemies;yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me;you rescued me from the man of violence.
49. For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,and sing to your name.
