40. You have girded me with strength for the battle. Those who resisted me, you have bent down under me.
41. You have caused my enemies to turn their back to me; they have hatred for me, and I shall destroy them.
42. They will cry out, and there will be no one to save; to the Lord, and he will not heed them.
43. I will wipe them away like the dust of the earth. I will break them apart and crush them, like the mud of the streets.
44. You will save me from the contradictions of my people. You will preserve me to be the head of the Gentiles; a people I do not know shall serve me.
