Psalm 18:47

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

You took revenge for me, and you put nations in my power.

See the chapter Copy

God has put every nation under our power,

Dear friends, don't try to get even. Let God take revenge. In the Scriptures the Lord says, “I am the one to take revenge and pay them back.”

The LORD God demands loyalty. In his anger, he takes revenge on his enemies.

You are my friend, and you are my fortress where I am safe. You are my shield, and you made me the ruler of our people.

You took revenge for me, and you put nations in my power.

Soon our enemies will get what they deserve— suddenly they will slip, and total disaster will quickly follow.

Sing joyful songs to the LORD! Praise the mighty rock where we are safe.
