Psalms 18:43-49

⁴³You enabled me to defeat those who fought against me, and appointed me to be the ruler of many nations; people whom I did not know about previously are now slaves in my kingdom.

⁴⁴When foreigners hear about me, they ◄cringe/bow low before me► and they obey me.

⁴⁵They are no longer courageous, and from their forts where they were hiding they come to me trembling.

⁴⁶Yahweh is alive! Praise the one who is like an overhanging rock MET under which I am safe Exalt the God who saves me!

⁴⁷He enables me to get revenge on my enemies; he causes me to defeat nations and to rule over them,

⁴⁸and he rescues me from my enemies. He has lifted me up high so that violent men could not reach me and harm me.

⁴⁹So I praise him and I tell the nations the great things that he has done.
