Psalms 18:42-50 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

42. I pulverize them like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets.

43. You have freed me from the feuds among the people;You have appointed me the head of nations; a people I had not known serve me.

44. Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;as soon as they hear, they obey me.

45. Foreigners lose heartand come trembling from their fortifications.

46. The Lord lives — may my rock be praised!The God of my salvation is exalted.

47. God — He gives me vengeance and subdues peoples under me.

48. He frees me from my enemies.You exalt me above my adversaries;You rescue me from violent men.

49. Therefore I will praise You, Yahweh, among the nations;I will sing about Your name.

50. He gives great victories to His king; He shows loyalty to His anointed,to David and his descendants forever.
