2 Samuel 22:40-51
-
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
-
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
-
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
-
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
-
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 unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
-
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of 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 mine 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 unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
-
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
