Psalms 18:39-45 Modern English Version (MEV)

39. For You clothed me with strength for the battle;You subdued under me those who rose up against me.

40. You gave me the necks of my enemies,and I destroyed those who hate me.

41. They cried for help, but there was none to save them;even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

42. Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind;I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

43. You have delivered me from the hostilities of the people,and You have made me the head of nations;a people whom I have not known serve me.

44. At hearing a report, they obey me;foreigners come cringing to me.

45. Foreigners fade away,and come quaking out of their prisons.
