Psalm 18:46-50

Past
     God lifted David above his enemies.
     God protected David from violent men.

Present
     God lives!
     David praises God, his security.
     David elevates God, his avenger.
     God places nations below David.
     God protects David from his foes.
     God grants grand successes to His ruler.
     God displays perpetual kindness to His chosen, 
                                                                    to David and his household.

Future
     David will continue to praise God everywhere.
     David will sing exaltations to God's Name.
     God will continue to display kindness.
    
God acts in the past, present, and future on behalf of His chosen ones. 

Psalm 18:46-50  NIV1984

46 The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
    Exalted be God my Savior!
47 He is the God who avenges me,
    who subdues nations under me,
48     who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
    from violent men you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O Lord;
    I will sing praises to your name.
50 He gives his king great victories;
    he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed,
    to David and his descendants forever.
