Psalm 18:40-46
Holman Christian Standard Bible
40 You have made my enemies retreat before me;[a](A)
I annihilate those who hate me.(B)
41 They cry for help, but there is no one to save them(C)—
they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.(D)
42 I pulverize them like dust before the wind;(E)
I trample them[b] like mud in the streets.(F)
43 You have freed me from the feuds among the people;
You have appointed me the head of nations;(G)
a people I had not known serve me.(H)
44 Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;
as soon as they hear,[c] they obey me.(I)
45 Foreigners lose heart
and come trembling from their fortifications.(J)
46 The Lord lives—may my rock be praised!
The God of my salvation is exalted.(K)
