Psalms 18:32-49 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

32. The ·God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,

33. Who maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places;

34. Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;

35. And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.

36. Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.

37. I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.

38. I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.

39. And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.

40. And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.

41. They cried, and there was none to save; --unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.

42. And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.

44. At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.

45. Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.

46. Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,

47. The ·God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;

48. Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.

49. Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
