Psalm 18:36 Context

◄ Psalm 18:36 ►

You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.

Context

36You enlarge my steps under me,
And my feet have not slipped.

37I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

38I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise;
They fell under my feet.

39For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against 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 none to save,
Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.

42Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind;
I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.

43You have delivered 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 submit to me.

45Foreigners fade away,
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.

48He delivers me from my enemies;
Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.

49Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O LORD,
And I will sing praises to Your name.

50He gives great deliverance to His king,
And shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forever.
