44 “You delivered me from strife with my people;
you kept me as the head of athe nations;
bpeople whom I had not known served me.
45 Foreigners came cringing to me;
as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
46 Foreigners lost heart
and came trembling aout of their fortresses.
47 “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be amy God, bthe rock of my salvation,
48 the God who gave me vengeance
and abrought down peoples under me,
49 who brought me out from my enemies;
you exalted me above athose who rose against me;
you delivered me from bmen of violence.
50 a“For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and sing praises to your name.
51 aGreat salvation he brings to his king,
and shows steadfast love to bhis anointed,
to David and his offspring cforever.”
