New Testament

Psalm 17:43-51 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

43. And I will crush them into dust before the face of the wind, so that I will obliterate them like the mud in the streets.

44. You will rescue me from the contradictions of the people. You will set me at the head of the Gentiles.

45. A people I did not know has served me. As soon as their ears heard, they were obedient to me.

46. The sons of foreigners have been deceitful to me, the sons of foreigners have grown weak with time, and they have wavered from their paths.

47. The Lord lives, and blessed is my God, and may the God of my salvation be exalted:

48. O God, who vindicates me and who subdues the people under me, my liberator from my enraged enemies.

49. And you will exalt me above those who rise up against me. From the iniquitous man, you will rescue me.

50. Because of this, O Lord, I will confess to you among the nations, and I will compose a psalm to your name:

51. magnifying the salvation of his king, and showing mercy to David, his Christ, and to his offspring, even for all time.
