Psalm 18:31-50
New International Version
Psalm 18:31-50
New International Version
31 For who is God besides the Lord?(A)
And who is the Rock(B) except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength(C)
and keeps my way secure.(D)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;(E)
he causes me to stand on the heights.(F)
34 He trains my hands for battle;(G)
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains(H) me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path(I) for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.(J)
37 I pursued my enemies(K) and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them(L) so that they could not rise;(M)
they fell beneath my feet.(N)
39 You armed me with strength(O) for battle;
you humbled my adversaries(P) before me.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs(Q) in flight,
and I destroyed(R) my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them(S)—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.(T)
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;(U)
I trampled them[a] like mud in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.(V)
People I did not know(W) now serve me,
44 foreigners(X) cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;(Y)
they come trembling(Z) from their strongholds.(AA)
46 The Lord lives!(AB) Praise be to my Rock!(AC)
Exalted be God(AD) my Savior!(AE)
47 He is the God who avenges(AF) me,
who subdues nations(AG) under me,
48 who saves(AH) me from my enemies.(AI)
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man(AJ) you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;(AK)
I will sing(AL) the praises of your name.(AM)

King James Version
Psalm 18:31-50
King James Version
31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 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.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
