King James Bible
"It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me."
David attributes his vindication entirely to God, not his own military prowess or political maneuvering. The Hebrew concept of divine vengeance emphasizes righteous justice rather than personal revenge, acknowledging God as the ultimate judge who rights wrongs on behalf of His anointed. This phrase recognizes God's sovereign hand in establishing David's kingdom and bringing hostile nations into submission. Written in the context of David's military victories, it reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine kingship where earthly rulers succeeded only through their deity's empowerment.
