Psalms 18:40-47

⁴⁰You made my enemies run away; I destroyed all my enemies.

⁴¹They cried out for help, but no one came to rescue them. They even called out to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

⁴²I ground them into dust, like dust in the wind. I threw them out like mud in the street.

⁴³You rescued me from rebellious people; you made me ruler over nations—people I didn't know now serve me.

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

⁴⁵They lose heart, and come trembling in surrender from their strongholds.

⁴⁶The Lord lives! Blessed be my rock! May the God who saves me be praised!

⁴⁷God avenges me, he subdues peoples under me,
