Psalms 18:38-47
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
38I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise; They fell under my feet. 39For You have encircled me with strength for battle; You have forced those who rose up against me to bow down under me. 40You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, And I destroyed those who hated me. 41They cried for help, but there was no one to save, They cried to the Lord, but He did not answer them. 42Then I beat them fine like the dust before the wind; I emptied them out like the mud of the streets. 43You have rescued me from the contentions of the people; You have placed me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me. 44As soon as they hear, they obey me; Foreigners pretend to obey me. 45Foreigners lose heart, And come trembling out of their fortresses. 46The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation, 47The God who executes vengeance for me, And subdues peoples under me.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
38I crush them, and they cannot get up; they fall beneath my feet. 39You have clothed me with strength for battle; you subdue my adversaries beneath me. 40You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me. 41They cry for help, but there is no one to save them — they cry to the Lord, but he does not answer them.New Living Translation
Chapter 18
38I struck them down so they could not get up; they fell beneath my feet. 39You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet. 40You placed my foot on their necks. I have destroyed all who hated me. 41They called for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the Lord, but he refused to answer. 42I ground them as fine as dust in the wind. I swept them into the gutter like dirt. 43You gave me victory over my accusers. You appointed me ruler over nations; people I don’t even know now serve me. 44As soon as they hear of me, they submit; foreign nations cringe before me. 45They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds.English Standard Version
Chapter 18
38I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet. 39For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me. 40You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed. 41 They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them. 42I beat them fine as dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets. 43You delivered me from strife with the people; you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me. 44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me. 45 Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses. 46The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation — 47the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me,New International Version
Chapter 18
38I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. 39You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me. 40You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. 41They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the Lord, but he did not answer. 42I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets. 43You 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, 44foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.New King James Version
