Psalms 18:34-50 World English Bible (WEB)

34. He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

35. You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

36. You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

37. I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

38. I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

39. For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40. You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

41. They cried, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

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

43. You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44. As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

45. The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

46. Yahweh lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,

47. even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

48. He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

49. Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

50. He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
