37. You’ve let me walk fast and safe,without even twisting an ankle.
38. I chased my enemies and destroyed them!I didn’t come home until I finished them off.
39. I ate them up! I struck them down!They couldn’t get up;they fell under my feet.
40. You equipped me with strength for war;you brought my adversaries down underneath me.
41. You made my enemies turn tail from me;I destroyed my foes.
42. They looked around, but there was no one to save them.They looked to the Lord, but he wouldn’t answer them.
43. I crushed them like dust on the ground;I stomped on them, trampled them like mud dumped in the streets.
44. You delivered me from struggles with many people;you appointed me the leader of many nations.Strangers come to serve me.
45. Foreigners grovel before me;after hearing about me, they obey me.
46. Foreigners lose their nerve;they come trembling out of their fortresses.
47. The Lord lives! Bless God, my rock!Let my God, the rock of my salvation, be lifted high!
