It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me.

Verse 48 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poem concludes by celebrating that God equips David for battle, gives him strength, subdues his enemies, and establishes his greatness. Victory does not end in personal exaltation: David blesses the Lord and recognizes that God shows steadfast love to his anointed and his descendants. The reference to descendants connects the song with the promise of 2 Samuel 7. The poem functions as a theological interpretation of the reign: God is the ultimate source of victory and Davidic continuity.

der Gott, der mir Rache gibt und wirft die Völker unter mich.
El Dios que me ha vengado, Y sujeta los pueblos debajo de mí:
Él es el Dios que me concede venganza y somete pueblos debajo de mí;
Le Dieu qui est mon vengeur, Qui m'assujettit les peuples,
Iddio è quel che mi dà modo di far le mie vendette, E che abbassa i popoli sotto me.
O Deus que me dá inteira vingança, e sujeita os povos debaixo de mim.
這位上帝為我伸冤, 使萬民服在我以下。
