Psalms 18:48

He delivers me ¹  from my enemies; you snatch me away ²  from those who attack me; ³  you rescue me from violent men.

who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me.

He delivers me from my enemies; Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man.

and rescues me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents.

He rescued me from enemy anger, he pulled me from the grip of upstarts, He saved me from the bullies.

He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

who delivered me from my enemies; indeed, you exalted me above my adversaries; you delivered me from the violent.

He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.

He delivers me ¹  from my enemies; you snatch me away ²  from those who attack me; ³  you rescue me from violent men.

¹ tn Heb “[the one who] delivers me.” 2 Sam 22:49 reads “and [the one who] brings me out.”

² tn Heb “lifts me up.” In light of the preceding and following references to deliverance, the verb רום probably here refers to being rescued from danger (see Ps 9:13). However, it could mean “exalt, elevate” here, indicating that the Lord has given the psalmist victory over his enemies and forced them to acknowledge the psalmist’s superiority (cf. NIV, NRSV).

³ tn Heb “from those who rise against me.”
