43–45You rescued me from a squabbling people;

you made me a leader of nations.

People I’d never heard of served me;

the moment they got wind of me they listened.

The foreign devils gave up; they came

on their bellies, crawling from their hideouts.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

You delivered me from strife with the people;

you made me the head of the nations;

people whom I had not known served me.

As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me;

foreigners came cringing to me.

Foreigners lost heart

and came trembling out of their fortresses.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;

you have made me the head of nations.

People I did not know now serve me,

foreigners cower before me;

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

They all lose heart;

they come trembling from their strongholds.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You have freed me from the feuds among the people;

you have appointed me the head of nations;

a people I had not known serve me.

Foreigners submit to me cringing;

as soon as they hear they obey me.

Foreigners lose heart

and come trembling from their fortifications.

NLTNew Living Translation

You gave me victory over my accusers.

You appointed me ruler over nations;

people I don’t even know now serve me.

As soon as they hear of me, they submit;

foreign nations cringe before me.

They all lose their courage

and come trembling from their strongholds.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

You rescued me from strife with people;

you set me as head (over) nations.

People I did not know served me;

as soon as they heard, they obeyed me.

The children of a foreign land feigned obedience before me.

The children of a foreign land lost heart,

and they came trembling from their strongholds.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me:

The strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

The strangers shall fade away,

And be afraid out of their close places.
