Psalms 18:41-49

⁴¹They cried, and none there was that made them safe; they cried to the Lord, and he heard not them.

⁴²And I shall all-break them, as dust before the face of the wind; I shall do them away, as the clay of streets.

⁴³Thou shalt deliver me from the against-sayings of the people; thou shalt set me into the head of folks. The people, which I knew not, hath served me;

⁴⁴in the hearing of ear it obeyed to me. Alien sons lied down to me,

⁴⁵alien sons waxed eld; and went crooked from thy paths.

⁴⁶The Lord liveth, and my God be blessed; and the God of mine health be enhanced.

⁴⁷God, that givest vengeances to me, and makest subject peoples under me;

⁴⁸thou art my deliverer from my wrathful enemies. And thou shalt enhance me from them, that rise against me; thou shalt deliver me from a wicked man.

⁴⁹Therefore, Lord, I shall acknowl-edge to thee among nations; and I shall say psalm to thy name.
