Psalms 18:42-50

Psalms 18:42-50

[42] Then did I beat  them small as the dust  before  the wind:  I did cast them out  as the dirt  in the streets.  [43] Thou hast delivered  me from the strivings  of the people;  and thou hast made  me the head  of the heathen:  a people  whom I have not known  shall serve  [44] As soon as they hear  of me, they shall obey  me: the strangers  shall submit  themselves unto me. [45] The strangers  shall fade away,  and be afraid  out of their close places.  [46] The LORD  liveth;  and blessed  be my rock;  of my salvation  be exalted.  [47] It is God  that avengeth  me, and subdueth  the people  under me. [48] He delivereth  me from mine enemies:  yea, thou liftest me up  above those that rise up  against me: thou hast delivered  me from the violent  man.  [49] Therefore will I give thanks  unto thee, O LORD,  among the heathen,  and sing praises  unto thy name.  [50] deliverance  giveth he to his king;  and sheweth  mercy  to his anointed,  to David,  and to his seed  for  evermore.
