New International Version

Psalm 18:35-45 New International Version (NIV)

35. You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great.

36. You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

37. I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

38. I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

39. You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.

40. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.

41. They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the Lord, but he did not answer.

42. I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.

43. You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,

44. foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

45. They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.
