Psalms 18:37-48

³⁷I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.

³⁸I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.

³⁹And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

⁴⁰And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.

⁴¹They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.

⁴²And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

⁴³Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.

⁴⁴At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.

⁴⁵Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.

⁴⁶Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,

⁴⁷The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;

⁴⁸Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
