Psalm 18:40-50 - Heartlight

⁴⁰You have made my enemies retreat before me;

I put an end to those who hated me.

⁴¹They cried for help, but there was no one to save them —

to the LORD, but He did not answer.

⁴²I ground them as dust in the face of the wind;

I trampled them like mud in the streets.

⁴³You have delivered me from the strife of the people;

You have made me the head of nations;

a people I had not known shall serve me.

⁴⁴When they hear me, they obey me;

foreigners cower before me.

⁴⁵Foreigners lose heart

and come trembling from their strongholds.

⁴⁶The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock!

And may the God of my salvation be exalted—

⁴⁷the God who avenges me

and subdues nations beneath me,

⁴⁸who delivers me from my enemies.

You exalt me above my foes;

You rescue me from violent men.

⁴⁹Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations;

I will sing praises to Your name.

⁵⁰Great salvation He brings to His king.

He shows loving devotion to His anointed,

to David and his descendants forever.
