Psalms 18:48
46 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
47 the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
49 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
50 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
