Psalms 18:43 Context
41They cried, but there was none to saue them: euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not. 42Then did I beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did cast them out, as the dirt in the streetes. 43Thou hast deliuered me from the striuings of the people, and thou hast made mee the head of the heathen: a people whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me. 44As soone as they heare of mee, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselues vnto me. 45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
