He subdued nations beneath us and countries under our feet.

They repay me evil for good, and hate for love.

They repay me evil for the good I have done; though I have tried to do good to them, they hurl accusations at me.

They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.

I cried out to him for help and praised him with my tongue.

Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority.

They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray.

you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority,

He made the sky sink as he descended; a thick cloud was under his feet.

You widen my path; my feet do not slip.

I beat them to death; they fall at my feet.

You give me strength for battle; you make my foes kneel before me.

The one true God completely vindicates me; he makes nations submit to me.

His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.

Your arrows are sharp and penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies. Nations fall at your feet.

Your sons will carry on the dynasty of your ancestors; you will make them princes throughout the land.

He will shelter you with his wings; you will find safety under his wings. His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall.

Their tongues wound like a serpent; a viper’s venom is behind their lips. (Selah)

who loves me and is my stronghold, my refuge and my deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take shelter, who makes nations submit to me.
