A Leader's Thanksgiving For Deliverance from Enemies

Psalm 18:43-50

43  Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 
44  As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 
45  The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 
46  The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 
47  It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 
48  He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 
49  Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 
50  Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
