2 Samuel 22:44-51 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

44. "You have also delivered me from the contentions of my people; You have kept me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.

45. "Foreigners pretend obedience to me; As soon as they hear, they obey me.

46. "Foreigners lose heart, And come trembling out of their fortresses.

47. "The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

48. The God who executes vengeance for me, And brings down peoples under me,

49. Who also brings me out from my enemies; You even lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man.

50. "Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name.

51. "He is a tower of deliverance to His king, And shows lovingkindness to His anointed, To David and his descendants forever."
