42. I crushed themlike dust blown away by the wind;I threw them outlike mud dumped in the streets.
43. You delivered me from struggles with many people;you appointed me the leader of many nations.Strangers come to serve me.
44. After hearing about me, they obey me;foreigners grovel before me.
45. Foreigners lose their nerve;they come trembling out of their fortresses.
46. The Lord lives! Bless God, my rock!Let the God of my salvation be lifted high!
47. This is the God who avenges on my behalf,who subdues people before me,
48. who delivers me from my enemies.Yes, you lifted me high above my adversaries;you delivered me from violent people.
49. That’s why I thank you, Lord, in the presence of the nations.That’s why I sing praises to your name.
