44. You saved me from those who fought against me. You made me the ruler over nations. People I never knew now serve me.
45. Foreigners fall helpless before me! As soon as they heard about me, they were ready to obey.
46. They lose all their courage and come out of their hiding places shaking with fear.
47. The Lord lives! I praise my Rock! How great is my God, the Rock who saves me!
48. He is the God who punishes my enemies for me, the one who puts people under my rule.
49. He saves me from my enemies! You help me defeat those who attack me. You save me from cruel people.
50. Lord, that is why I praise you among the nations. That is why I sing songs of praise to your name.
