44 “You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples;

you have preserved me as the head of nations.

People I did not know now serve me,

45 foreigners cower before me;

as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

46 They all lose heart;

they come trembling from their strongholds.

47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!

Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!

48 He is the God who avenges me,

who puts the nations under me,

49 who sets me free from my enemies.

You exalted me above my foes;

from a violent man you rescued me.

50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;

I will sing the praises of your name.

51 “He gives his king great victories;

he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed,

to David and his descendants forever.”

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.

44 “You gave me victory over my accusers.

You preserved me as the ruler over nations;

people I don’t even know now serve me.

and come trembling from their strongholds.

47 “The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock!

May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted!

48 He is the God who pays back those who harm me;

he brings down the nations under me

49 and delivers me from my enemies.

You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies;

you save me from violent opponents.

50 For this, O Lord, I will praise you among the nations;

I will sing praises to your name.

51 You give great victories to your king;

you show unfailing love to your anointed,

to David and all his descendants forever.”
