The King James Version Bible

Psalms 18:42-50

  1. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

  2. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

  3. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

  4. The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

  5. The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

  6. It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

  7. He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

  8. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

  9. Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
