Psalms 18:43-49

⁴³You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

⁴⁴From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority.

⁴⁵They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

⁴⁶The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured.

⁴⁷It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

⁴⁸He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

⁴⁹Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.
