Psalms 18:42 in context

Psalms 18:39–45

For you have armed me with strength to the battle.

You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,

that I might cut off those who hate me.

They cried, but there was no one to save;

even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.

Selected verse

Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind.

I cast them out as the mire of the streets.

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people.

You have made me the head of the nations.

A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me.

The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

The foreigners shall fade away,

and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
