New Testament

Psalms 18:42-50 New English Translation (NET)

42. I grind them as fine windblown dust;I beat them underfoot like clay in the streets.

43. You rescue me from a hostile army;you make me a leader of nations;people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.

44. When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.Foreigners are powerless before me;

45. foreigners lose their courage;they shake with fear as they leave their strongholds.

46. The Lord is alive!My protector is praiseworthy!The God who delivers me is exalted as king!

47. The one true God completely vindicates me;he makes nations submit to me.

48. He delivers me from my enemies;you snatch me away from those who attack me;you rescue me from violent men.

49. So I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord!I will sing praises to you!

50. He gives his chosen king magnificent victories;he is faithful to his chosen ruler,to David and his descendants forever.”
