Psalms 18
40 Ref By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.
41 Ref They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.
42 Ref Then they were crushed as small as dust before the wind; they were drained out like the waste of the streets.
43 Ref You 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.
44 Ref From 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.
45 Ref They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.
46 Ref The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured.
47 Ref It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.
48 Ref He 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.
49 Ref Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.
50 Ref Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.
