Psalms 18:46–50
Because the Lord lives and vindicates His king, the anointed one will praise Him among the nations for His eternal, unfailing love.
46 Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
49 Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
Because the Lord lives and vindicates His king, the anointed one will praise Him among the nations for His eternal, unfailing love.
To conclude the psalm with a triumphant declaration of God’s living presence, His role as the vindicator of the king, and His eternal covenant faithfulness to the Davidic line.
The LORD My Rock, Deliverer, and King
The LORD is the living rock who hears, descends, rescues, vindicates, strengthens, and gives covenant victory to his anointed servant.
