Psalm 18:37-50

New International Version

³⁷ I pursued my enemies^(A) and overtook them;
    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
³⁸ I crushed them^(B) so that they could not rise;^(C)
    they fell beneath my feet.^(D)
39 You armed me with strength^(E) for battle;
    you humbled my adversaries^(F) before me.
⁴⁰ You made my enemies turn their backs^(G) in flight,
    and I destroyed^(H) my foes.
⁴¹ They cried for help, but there was no one to save them^(I)—
    to the Lord, but he did not answer.^(J)
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;^(K)
    I trampled them^[a] like mud in the streets.
⁴³ You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
    you have made me the head of nations.^(L)
People I did not know^(M) now serve me,
⁴⁴     foreigners^(N) cower before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
⁴⁵ They all lose heart;^(O)
    they come trembling^(P) from their strongholds.^(Q)

⁴⁶ The Lord lives!^(R) Praise be to my Rock!^(S)
    Exalted be God^(T) my Savior!^(U)
47 He is the God who avenges^(V) me,
    who subdues nations^(W) under me,
⁴⁸     who saves^(X) me from my enemies.^(Y)
You exalted me above my foes;
    from a violent man^(Z) you rescued me.
⁴⁹ Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;^(AA)
    I will sing^(AB) the praises of your name.^(AC)

⁵⁰ He gives his king great victories;
    he shows unfailing love to his anointed,^(AD)
    to David^(AE) and to his descendants forever.^(AF)
