44. Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45. Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
46. Strangers shall fade away, and they shall tremble from their close places.
47. The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48. It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49. And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50. Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to thy name.
51. He is the tower of salvation for his king: and he showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
