2 Samuel 22:44-51 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

44. You rescued me from the strife of my people;you made me head over nations.A people I had not known became my slaves;

45. Foreigners cringed before me;as soon as they heard of me they obeyed.

46. Their courage failed;they came trembling from their fortresses.

47. The Lord lives! Blessed be my rock!Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation.

48. O God who granted me vindication,subdued peoples under me,

49. and helped me escape from my enemies,Truly you have exalted me above my adversaries,from the violent you have rescued me.

50. Thus I will proclaim you, Lord, among the nations;I will sing the praises of your name.

51. You have given great victories to your king,and shown kindness to your anointed,to David and his posterity forever.
