XVIII] :Even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
 * Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:
 * I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
 * 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.
 * As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me:
 * The strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
 * The strangers shall fade away,
 * And be afraid out of their close places.
 * The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock;
 * And let the God of my salvation be exalted.
 * It is God that avengeth me,
 * And subdueth the people under me.
 * 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.
 * Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen,
 * And sing praises unto thy name.
 * Great deliverance giveth he to his king;
 * And sheweth mercy to his anointed,
 * To David, and to his seed for evermore.
